This semester has essentially been one painful essay after another - I don't know what's gotten into me, I used to be able to read and write at a faster-than-average pace but I'm now so awfully sloooooooooooow. Spent 4 days killing myself over the Math essay that is now sitting pretty in the Workbin (it's actually rather awful and a bit shorter than P. wanted but I'm too sick of it to attempt any more modifications) and now I've got another big one to write and turn in by the 20th of November. Which happens to be 3 days before my first exam, 4 days before my second, and 6 days before my third. How to study like this, I ask you :(
BTW, if anyone has useful information (books, articles, whatever) on Jehovah's Witnesses in Singapore, please let me know! <3

Have suffered two essay-slams in the past five days, I don't know if my poor procrastinating heart can take it anymore.
#1: Math Essay
(during Thursday's tutorial, when I decided to be a muggertoad and sneak in a question about my research paper during the lesson)
Me: Er prof, I was reading Hamming's explanation for the so-called unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics and I found [the argument that I intended to rebutt in my essay]... Doesn't this imply [my rebuttal]?
PP: (with heart-crushing terseness) No.
Me: Oh. -heart is crushed- Well.
PP: Hamming was actually referring to ... [something completely different from what I'd thought] ...
Me: Oh. I see. But -
PP: But what?
Me [WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT IN YOUR COMMENTS ON MY PROPOSAL SO I WOULDN'T BE ROYALLY SCREWED OVER NOW?!!?!?!] Oh, nothing. It's alright.
#2: History Essay
(during today's lecture)
Prof: [ethnic minorities blah blah] Oh, I was pretty surprised to note that quite a few of you who'd chosen to use Burma as the case study in your essay on language policy picked English to be the language of instruction in schools...
Me: [OMGTHATSMEPLEASESAYITSGOOD]
Prof: ... interesting, but no I wouldn't really agree.
Me [Shit.]
Ok hai worldz I r fail @ life :( If my other research paper gets rejected now I think I will cry, especially since I've already gone and photocopied a couple of books on cults and they're bound to cause me quite a bit.

ZOMG CHEST HAIR..?!?!11?!?
( Halloween! )
Anyway, horror of horrors - I logged on to MapleStory today using my sister's unwanted account, and actually enjoyed playing the game after a hiatus of about 2 years. This does not bode well for my undone essays.
