Rambling
Couldnt come up with a better title..it's just there to make this entry have a structure of having a title, body and conclusion...ok..maybe no conclusion....
Currently at home marking exam papers, going to uni later in the afternoon to work on my research....taking a break from marking exam papers now...
I've come across some really interesting papers. There was a question that asked whether the number of pre-natal visits (visits by a pregnant woman to the doctor) was reasonable ...some interesting responses i got:
1. "I'm a guy and do not have any idea what a pre-natal visit is"
2. "I've no expectation as to how pre-natal visits can affect the weight of a baby"
3. "I dont know if it's reasonable." (i;m afraid honesty doesnt pay here..)
4. "I'm no pregnancy expert but i think......"
I've also come across really interesting 'dialogues' from some students in the exam paper.
1. "Sorry for the messy handwriting"
My response: "Sorry for not being able to award marks cause i really cant read the words"
2. "OUT OF TIME (and the rest of the paper was blank)"
My response: "Sorry for not being able to award marks because there's nothing on the paper for me to give marks!"
One of my colleagues came across an interesting answer yesterday. The question asked if something was reasonable and why. This student answered:
"It is reasonable as there is no reason for it to be unreasonable."
-_-
Anyway, enough of talking about exam papers...i think lately for me, i'm just had a lot of things right up my neck. I've been sleeping only about 4-5 hours each night for the past 2 nights cause there's just so much for me to do (and of course, not to mention those intermittent times when i just wake up in the middle of the night)....
I'm trying to complete about 3.5 months of research work into slightly less than 2 because of my 1 month hol in singapore/msia in Jan. And if that was not bad enough, my research is not making any progress at all. Nothing that i'm currently working on has been solved. And on Monday, i had a 2.5 hour meeting with my supervisor just to go through the really basic theory that i learnt back in march! But i guess this is wat i call taking 10 steps back in order to advance 100 steps.
I dont know what's the way of responding....but what i do know is that He is in control and i shall continue to abide in His presence.....
Oh help me and make haste to save me!
I shall rejoice =)
