Busy busy busy

School is getting more and more intense lately, as many deadlines draw near. There're 9 assignments/projects/presentations due in the coming 2 weeks. And I have been attending meeting after meeting for the past two days. Which is utterly crazy. In fact I'm in the way home now with another online meeting waiting for me. :(

It's pretty sad that we students (or maybe it's just me) get so caught up with school work and meeting deadlines that we've forgotten some of the little fun things that we used to enjoy as kids/teenagers. My prof uploaded an assignment this afternoon and it is due next Monday. Part of the instruction of the assignment is this:

"To improve your chances of getting a high score on this homework, please attach an envelope containing $100 SGD."

This is a really weird request! My first instinct was to check the assignment questions, thinking that the $100 might be something that is needed to do the questions. But nope! That wasn't the case.

I was so bewildered by this strange request that I sent my prof an enquiry. And here's his reply:

"Hi WenYi

Yes, you're right. $100 doesn't go very far these days but I thought I shouldn't ask for too much. And I'm not very fussy about whether it's in 10's or 20's :)

You know I'm only joking right? Monday next week is a special day .. :)"

That's when it finally dawned upon me that April Fools' Day is just around the corner!! To think that it used to be one of my favorite days of the year and now, it has completely slipped out of my mind because so many deadlines are breathing down my neck. Sighhhh.

But oh wells, once I pull through this two weeks things will be much more manageable. I'll only have to worry about my FYP and after that, it's gonna be 4 full months of pure bliss, happiness and laziness. :D

More updates about my vacation plans when I'm more free! :3
