nm1101e midterm tomorrow, and i am going in quite unprepared. i've basically just read through the readings, looked at the lecture slides and uh... okay that's it. maybe it's because i haven't studied properly for so long, or maybe it's because the readings are too different from the textbooks/lecture notes we're used to so i can't pick out the important bits at all. or maybe they're all important bits and i'm just too lazy to try and remember them all so i kid myself and tell myself that they're not all important. in any case i'm just going to cross my fingers and hope to smoke my way through.

haven't really done much during this week even though i had lofty plans of doing loads of stuff.

basically i only finished:

1) se fieldtrip report which was a totally rushed affair and is quite a bad piece of work. which reminds me i need to go submit it to turn it in.

2) typed out the second draft for writing 1 for japanese. must print it though.

3) did reading 2 for japanese.

4) read through nm.

5) read through el and finally got the hang of phonetics. i think. at least i'm marginally better now than at the start of the week when i really had no idea how to go about it at all.

things i haven't done but should get around to doing soon:

1) el affinity group project oh no oh no. must do this by thursday.

2) study for japanese i left this out because i thought the el midterm was right after recess week, when it's really the week after. must do this by friday.

3) se reflection for a random reading.

4) se group project. thankfully this isn't due so soon.

5) read up on js project topic. i borrowed like 8 books but didn't have the time to read them. going to have to either renew them or borrow them again.

6) get up-to-date on my readings! i haven't done my week 6 readings for js and se. and i need to do week 7 readings for js and se too.

i get the feeling the second list is much longer and i have forgotten some important stuff.

okay. i will sleep early and hope the extra sleep makes me cleverer for nm tomorrow.

oh, and on a totally random note, google chrome is much nicer than firefox!
