labellementeuseI am camping out in the maths department today to do my 251 assignment. It's worth a measley five percent of my final mark, and in the last two and a half hours I've spent SIGNIFICANTLY more time on just the first question than I did revising for a test I had in another class yesterday worth 20%. I fucking hate this lame piecemeal assessment.
I aim to be here until I finish and then hand it in whole hours early, it being not due 'til 9 am tomorrow. Probably it'll take me another six hours, tops, so I should even get to sleep tonight! I plan on keeping myself awake and, um, intense through the simple expedient of buying three boxes of muesli bars - not the healthy kind - a box of those fruit string things, three peaches, four nectarines and two large bags of M&Ms. Possibly overkill, but hey, I'll be haaappy. I also picked up a couple of bottles of TAB, which turns out to taste mostly like creaming soda, except fizzier. It also reminds me intermittently of L&P. This may be the first energy drink I can consume! But I haven't cracked it open yet and I'm going to leave it until I really, really need it, because I don't want to turn into my crazy mother who just about injects caffeine into her veins every morning.
Anyway, I took a short break about quarter of an hour ago and in the atrium I saw a flyer advertising tutoring for a COSC paper. The last sentence? "If you are having a lot of trouble with this course, it is good to get help now then fail the whole course at the end!"
And they say science students are smarter.
