Ah, the second last day of the holidays... It was quite an insane rush up until this point to complete at least my speech for the English oral coming up soon. Despite how I was "supposed" to have spent the last three days on it, I have only written 2000 words, a terribly small speech to show for such a long time spent on it. Oh well, it will have to do. I am quite proud of the amount of reading up I ended up doing as a result the nature of this topic though :P. Not really.

Today, I discovered how effective a study technique simply "Pulling the Plug" (pp) can be. It is a very tricky technique to execute, and is definitely not for the faint of heart. It entails the skillful use of your hand, which must be made to manoeuvre behind your computer, locate the socket into which the network cable is connected, and, while squeezing down on the clip, forcefully withdrawing the cable head from inside your computer. No matter how many study tips I try to apply, I have not experienced the rate of success I was afforded the moment I pped at 12.30am. My concentration level heightened to a peak I had not experienced in an incredibly long time, and for the first time since... I have lost track of the last time... I was able to study relatively free of distraction. No MSN. No Google. Almost starvation, in that sense. Yet, the amount of work that I got done in that time amounted to the sum of what I would have achieved in a day. Thank God for wired connections.

Tomorrow will be University Biology study day. I will try not to focus on the entirety of my undone holiday homework from school as I study for this relatively crucial test which will fall on this coming Wednesday Tuesday, after school. Hooray for the University of Melbourne Extension Program. Zzz. Combined with the fact that I missed three key lectures for this test for my trip to Singapore, not to mention having the lecturer blatantly forget to email me the notes (which she promised she would) due to the fact that I would have been absent for those particular lectures, even after more than one subtle reminder to before I left. I forgive her. In her shoes, I would have forgotten that the student existed at all.

Current situation: I have no means to contact my lecturer, and have to resort to emailing another contact at the University to obtain hers, and hopefully I will be able to contact my lecturer, and have her reply with the attached email by Tuesday, so I have at least one night hour to frantically cram the information into my already exploding brain. Yup, shit is the word.

Excuse me while I make the last day of the holidays count.
