can't believe wk 10 already passed.

mid sem break was non-existent as expected. worked half the time, since i really need that money. it

before the break began, optm made us sign a sheet which says they will have a prac exam on a day outside the official unsw end date. prac exam times came out and i finish on the normal unsw last day of exams! better than having an exam when exams are technically supposed to be over according to the unsw exam period.

finally got around to getting a new camera, and i did gets my cash back (: something small, not too overly fancy in features. i originally thought about getting an ilc, but the sony a5000 screen resolution is so grainy, it really makes you doubt that it can take high resolution pictures (even though the mp are pretty high), and the a6000 takes 11 photos a sec, and i don't need to spend $1000 for those extra features which i'll never use.

after a whole week of assignmenting, need to catch up on stuff. never finished catching up during the break ): and finally my group responded! with 12 people for group work, it's pretty tricky. i guess they decided to actually say something since the group debate is on monday. what's really stupid is half are marks are from ranking each other, but when you're partnered up with someone in the group (i.e. 6 pairs working on one point, which a lot of the other groups are doing), you end up with everyone contributing equally. initially the first person emailed the lecturer and said it's not fair to rank people and he replied that we have to learn to "evaluate". how do you do that by ranking people? then i think after half the grade emailing him about the unfair system of ranking people for half the allocated marks, he said he gave up and we don't need to mark each other in our group. which probably means another 10% extra weighting for finals...my point is that lecturers do crumble when quite a few people angrily voice their opinions.

my final finals timetable (they altered it 2 times after the draft #optomlyf) is ok, 1/2 days between each exam...but i actually don't know nothing D= that mostly online course, like have i even learnt anything...?

Night Noodle Markets start today! but i know everything will be overpriced...

craving so much food atm, but need to save money...

been overeating these past few weeks, even though i haven't been out a lot D=
