Revision Starts!

Mood:Hungry Health:Good Weather:Cool

Finally, I am able to sit down for revision! One week ago, I planned to start my late revision for my coming exam but it didn't happen because of a group report. We targeted to finish all our bits on Tuesday and compile them into a group report but it didn't happen.

I finished my part before that day and I was very relieved thinking that I could concentrate on my revision. Who knew. One of my group member told me that what I have done, was not what they wanted. Apparently, I was being allocated to the control system of the pacemaker to the total artificial heart. I was absolutely clear about this!

With less than three days from the submission date, I was told that they wanted the control system within the artificial heart! Infact, I only have a day to do a 12 weeks work because we needed at least a day to put all the messes together properly. Can you imagine the look on my face? Yet, I felt thankful that this happened now rather than later. So I didn't sleep that night, working on the research and report.

The next day...

I shown my draft to some of my group members. Imagine if someone told me "this is not what I want" again... I feel like slapping that person! Thanks goodness, it didn't happen. I felt really appreciated when I was told "Yes! This is what we want! Good work! This is great!"

Just when I thought we could compile them already...

Sighs... that the problems of working in a group... Wasted so much time waiting for people to come, waiting for one another to finalise their report. It would be acceptable if it was me since I was doing a last minute job :P Sighs... my people, do you know that you are jeopardising everyone time for revision?

This time round, my exam is much harder than before. We don't have lecture notes to depend on and have to do abundant of reading on ourselves in order to prepare for our exam. Also, you never know what the examiners have in mind about the questions. These examiners... sighs...
