My only salvation was that giving up wasnt an option. As soon as the words flowed through my head, the idea was as good as gone. Leaving a trail of whispered memories of academic regrets as a reminder to myself.

Anyway, I am looking back at this week with fresh memories of nights and pre dawns spent awake, studying. And it felt great. No, not as in, yay-I rescued-my-grades-from-single-digit-shame kind of great, but a kind of I went-down-trying kind of great. Still, thanks Jas, good luck to your sale too!

Anyway, something fun happened to me on the eve of Physics paper 3.
And apparently my inability to fall asleep at 3am was not due to the cup of coffee I downed at 11pm, but due to some herbal soup my mum brewed me. You know those designed to inprove blood circulation, concentration kind of thing. Yeah, you shouldnt mix those things with coffee, because, well, coffee works something like a blood accelerant. Cox the net effects are accelerated heartbeat rate, and insommnia. T_T

So well, I went to bed at 3am and set my alarm at 5.45am, and till the bloody second when the clock sounded, I still couldnt fall asleep. It wasnt as if I didnt try to sleep okay. In the end, to prevent myself from falling asleep during my physics paper (8am to 10.30am) and math paper(2pm to 5pm), I subsequently drank 2 more cups of coffee. Oh, and I secured a promise from Jamie to kick my chair if she thought I am falling asleep, which (she didnt, and I am kind of disappointed actually)

Haha, actually, at the end of this whole thing, I sort of find it fun. Since it ties in with my motto to try everything at least once, with minimum damage to my life and I guess I finished my papers. of course I can laugh it off, but I dunno, I guess it is pretty cool to live through things like that, and wear it as a badge of honour.

But I am not gonna pull this stunt off for my prelims and As of course, I dont need this kind of thrill. =)

Dinnertime now, I am off to eat, and hell yeah, I am gonna study for chem paper 1 and 2 this time.
