Last week was insane. I stayed back everyday till late evening in school. I had programmes in school and events in hostel at night. And even my saturday was not spared. Let’s see this week. Less hectic but still quite busy. Got to stay back for 4 out of 5 days. Geez. Still quite bad. And I’m now coming into a patch where there are lots and lots of mock tests, assessments to gauge our preparation for our prelims exam. GAAAH.

I’m not prepared for any. Got it. NOT PREPARED AT ALL. I dun even have time to study, how can i ever go and take a test? Nutcase. I guess it’s not the same for the others since they have had the last 5 weeks to study.

Nevermind. Still got time. Just gotta work hard. Pumping up on those coffee. For the first time I’m gonna start relying on coffee and making a slight tweak to the study style. Hopefully this works. (correction: this better work, else i’m screwed)

Anyway, yesterday I was at NUS the whole day for the National Economics and Finance Management Quiz 2008. Was part of the 21 from our college that was selected for the competition. Had some preparations from school. But it’s complicated. Thought we did not stand a chance to win nor do we stand a chance to win any special certificate.

We were surprised when we were awarded the certificate of merit. It means we were the top 25 ranking teams out of the 100+ teams who participated. I had to double check my team name on my name tag when the team name was flashed on the screen. haha. really din expect to win consolation prize since we made some rather silly mistakes and had many questions on cpf and insurance answered wrongly.

Oh btw, zhi wei’s team also won certificate of merit. haha, both the guys from 23/07 in diff teams won something. we were the only 2 teams fr AJC that won something.

It’s a whole day event from 10am till 5pm. Being good economics students, we were constantly arguing whether the opportunity cost of taking part in the competition will be worthwhile. Some professor said our opportunity cost was the time wasted in not being able to watch the new Batman movie. But seriously, that’s not our opportunity cost? Our opportunity cost now when time is really in scarce supply is that of not being able to revise and complete our homework. Luckily we won something, at least it reduces the opportunity cost. But it might still be costly……lol….

what am i doing now? time is limited. i should get back to my work….haha
