silent scream
i'm sooo screwed this exam. no kidding. arghhh never have i been so ill prepared before. never. since yr1 at least.
and it doesn't help that my current studying schedule is so screwed, thanks to my stupid lifestyle. my typical day for now:
wake up at 1 or 2pm.
cook lunch, eat and slack till 4 or 5pm.
go lib and study abit till 6pm.
dinner and slack/surf online till 9pm.
lib till bout 10 or 11pm.
bathe.
study till 1am.
supper time!
study a lil from 2am till 4am.
sleep.
and lotsa breaks in between that are not mentioned as well. haha pretty screwed up lifestyle. how can anyone start studying in the evening and end off near dawn? and this coming from someone whose 4 papers are all 9am. last night i slept at 5+am. and woke up at 8am for my paper. felt so woozy during the exam.
how how how. i know nuts bout my modules. seriously. i'm reading alot of things for the first time, and i dun have the time to finish up or even to revise thru again. it wasn't like this in the past... and this time, i really dun understand alot of the material i'm studying.
i'm particularly worried bout this fri's paper, history and systems of psychology, which is sooo tough la. just take a look at some past yr qns:
Qn. If Watson wrote a paper now--called "behaviourism as the psychologist views it"--what do you think he would say? --> compulsory qn
Qn. "It is my conviction that a part of modern living is to face the paradox that, viewed from one perspective, man is a complex machine... on the other hand, in another dimension of his existence, man is subjectively free; his personal choice and responsibility account for his own life." (Carl Rogers, 1963). Discuss the paradox and how it might be resolved. --> compulsory qn
Qn. To what extent would the replacement of individual neurons by functionally equivalent microprocessors, if feasible, result in any change in the way the brain functions or in what its owner experiences?
Qn. "The most important scientific discovery of the present era will come when someone--or some group--discovers the answer to the following question: How exactly do neurobiological processes in the brain cause consciousness?" (John Searle). Discuss this claim.
me and thong looked at these qns, looked at each other, and we can see the fear in the other person's eyes. we have absolutely no clue in the world how to answer these, even as psychology students. and prof said this yr's paper is along those lines. goshhhh. does anyone understand these?? pls decipher if u do. how to go for the exam in 1 day's time?? how is it that i've attended one semester's worth of lessons but nv encountered these stuff??
i must be really desperate to be blogging bout this at this hour.. 4am!! and yes, i'm really desperate.
somebody help. *silent scream*

we've declared panic state. sob.
heyhey.... how was ur paper? I hope it was better than expected?
I was following the same screwed up schedule as you a couple of days ago. Heehee... but I just changed it in time for my morning papers. I cannot stand the feeling of not enough sleep before doing an exam ><
hey! it was kinda screwed up as expected. like stare-at-the-paper-blankly kind. the compulsory qn killed me. i took 1.5 hrs just to crap up 2.5 pages. shite. and left 30 mins to write 2 pg for qn2. arghhhh.
i'll def pass the entire module la. but u know how it is that a pass is just not enough. (cos Cs and Ds are also passes right. hahahaa) pretty bad for me this time... oh well!
hope urs was good? i def can't live my second upp dream. hahaha i can't think of a single A i can try to grab this time round. i hope it's still possible for u to get urs :)
and i still slept at 5+ last night again. woke up so woozy. glad u managed to switch back ur clock. think i can't ever do that. been like this for 4 yrs of schoolterm + exams. :( in fact, i've improved! used to not sleep for morning papers.. :/
*hugz* Dont think about it. just try your best for ur remaining papers.
My last paper was ok. Dont think I can reach 2nd upper either. oh well.... Guess it's fate. I will just do the best I can for my last paper.
hey dear.. good luck for ur last paper still :) it's the last lap, all the best!
