This is probably the least blogged month ever since this space came about but nothing much is happening in life actually, apart from studies.
Reading week was normal except now I am a tutor even as I mugged for my own papers. And I realize helping student becomes a little frustrating after awhile, but when I realize they are crunching for time as much as I do, I calmed myself down and replied that 9-question long email, and that 1 hour face to face consultation near midnight, and the staying back after my consultation ended. It really takes much more effort than I thought it would, and I really respect teachers around the world more by being a pseudo one this sem.
Took some time off studies on Friday to attend a LGBTQ discussion in a nice cozy bar, first time facing this problem so up close and it's really eye opening. Also, the community is so small they realize we're newbies the first moment we entered.
Saturday was spent camping in library, and as I was scrolling through insta and everyone's overseas, including Ms blur, I'm like meh, not enticing. Then I saw a friend who I used to hang out pretty often getting married. Not my first friend to do so but wow... And I'm here in the library? Haha
And Monday: start of papers, end of tutorship. The original story of studying smart goes like this: this is a new mod so there's no past year paper and everyone just randomly mug, but this prof has been teaching another mod that's taught in similar format, so I went to find that mod's past year paper, and turns out, it's really almost exactly the same format. So I was damn prepared compared to the rest who I overheard got owned.
And so I was so hopeful that I can pull up the lousy midterms with this finals but after some thoughts, I realize I made a few mistakes here and there as well. So I guess in honours year, working smart or working hard individually is never enough...
3 more papers to freedom!
