Hey it’s year end already. There’re lots of things to complete before this year end.

• My assignments. But I’m in a state of denial right now.
• Renew my PDL which is just a learning driving license.
• Add some additional money to pay for Christmas presents. Yes, it’s the time to giving again. Always feel great to see people happy.
• Get those people who return from Australia out. It’s been delayed again and again, it’s time to meet them again.
• Finish up all the books I bought this year. Ahh, I bought too many books and I read too slowly.
• Go for at least one run this year. The only time I ran was chasing a bus. It was good exercise for 12 seconds.

But now it’s time to sleep.

Almost a month has passed since school reopen. I’ve been spending time on things that probably didn’t matter to me that much. It saddens me a little when I look back on how I allocated my time.

To claim that school is busy, work is busy, is perhaps just a lie. I’m obsessed with reading US election news lately and it got the better of my time. I spend about 1.5 hours a day reading on something that would affect me little. This sucked.

Also I have a stack of books I can’t complete. Books that were purchased, perhaps, 2 years ago even. I aim to complete it last year, half a year ago and a month ago. I’m still bookmarking (pretty much the same) the third quarter of the book.

I read four books at the same time. I just realized how horrible an idea that was.

Time seems to pass faster these days.

This irks me a little, my computer sometimes show p.m. instead of a.m. and a.m. instead of p.m. It’s just strange. The time and everything is correct. I use the 12-hour clock instead of the 24-hour. (You are an army freak if you use the 24-hour clock.)

So two in the afternoons would be 2 p.m. instead of 14:00. Anyway, my computer would switch to 2 a.m. when it’s 2 p.m. sometimes. It might be something to do with Ubuntu settings. It didn’t seem to occur until I use Ubuntu and revert to Windows Vista. Something just messed up my clock somehow.

Anyway, did you know that a.m. and p.m. stands for ante meridiem (a.m., Latin “before noon”) and post meridiem (p.m., “after noon”) respectively? I remember asking my primary school teacher before and he couldn’t answer. We didn’t have Wikipedia that time, hahaa…

Ahh… My math test is tomorrow and I don’t think I can finish studying it. I am picking questions to study already, even then I am not able to do the workings fast enough.

I guess I probably won’t do well in math. Probably a pass since it’s actually pretty hard to fail. You have to try really really hard to fail an exam at my university. The passing grade is 35 I think. Someone lecturer even told me it’s 30. I think they set the standards too low already. I guess they want everyone to pass.
