Here is the start of 2nd semester! Its quite a jerky start since we just finish exam 3 days ago.

For this semester, I am going to make improve my study method:
#1. Study BEFORE and AFTER every lectures. No choice, since I am a slow poke in catching things.

#2. Make sure I know what is 'TODAY'S DATE'. I am not going to be blur blur about dates again. Its nothing serious but missing labs, go back room sleeping and thinking that its your day off when everyone in your group is doing experiments in lab is just what I would like to avoid from now on. Worse still, I realised I missed lab only when it was time to hand in reports, which is one week later. (Well, hope I can keep this rule #2).

#3. Avoid sleeping later than 10 pm whenever possible. As it is not good for health and makes my brain extra slow and stupid. My usual sleeping time : 9.30pm till 6.30 a.m. Nine hours. Just nice for me to get up and do usual things then Skype with family before going to lectures. Keep it up!

#4. Exercise more!!! Walk more to lectures, if the weather is fine and if I remember to wear my thick jacket to keep warm. Its hard to resist Bus 50 but I CAN do it anyway!

#5. Learn to knock at lecturer's door and ASK if there is any problem. This needs some courage and planning before hand. This reminds me of what our interiezting Engineering Design lecturer - Dr Esther Ventura said " I AM a carnivore but human flesh is just not my preference....' Ok, I will remember this.

( Cant think of anything more ) So this is the end of my MUST DO's List. I doubt I can do #5 but others should be fine. (I guess?)


But anyhow, 冲啊!

Summer holiday? yup, 3 months- June to Sept. and theres Christmas Hol (Dec) and Easter Hol(April). But we would have to cook during this Easter and Christmas which I dread very much.
