So there's been this person across the hall...

...who doesn't like me to sing. She'd come knocking at my door even when I was singing at about the volume of regular talking. The girls studying chemistry in the room next to mine, however, are always talking and giggling late into the night and I don't see her complaining about them. I swear she just didn't like my singing.

Not that it matters now. Six weeks later (the length of spring session), she's finally moved out (the chemistry girls are moving out next week, I believe).

I'm free to sing as loudly as I want again! (There's a two week break before the summer session starts. I'll probably have to shut up again then.)

I opened up my mouth to sing and my voice sounded a bit funny, like it wasn't myself. In a good way.

So I recorded it.

Within Temptation - Memories (Revival version) Edit: In my opinion, this isn't as good as the 'I should be doing homework' version.

I spent most of the last two weeks being rather dejected, having had to go through the mess that was the 'drama' going on at the NW board (see post I linked to in the comments of the previous LJ post - that was my little conclusion to it) which led me to refuse free pizza a couple of Fridays ago; then compounded with the horrible weather (overcast, daily rain, wind) which finally cleared up today (yes, two weeks of it).

All of this added up to some *very* late nights and LOTS of sleep (compare to the latter part of my previous Fall term...). I'd go to bed at whenever (2 or 3AM), and I'd wake up the next day at 5PM. As a result I missed two lectures and handing in 3 homework assignments for my class. Oh, it also added up to me seriously vegging in front of the computer whenever I wasn't in class (or if I missed it).

The midterm exam on Wednesday wasn't too bad. I was a little rushed, having walked into the room about 5 minutes late with a calculator I discovered was spazzy only when I turned it on (that's what I get for not having done my homework that week - if I had done it, I probably would have known and had replaced my calculator). The LCD didn't 'light up' properly anymore, so although I could guess what numbers they could be, I couldn't really do math with it. Fortunately my exam only requires arithmetic, so I did it by hand. I got 78% on the exam, which is pretty good, considering how rushed and confused I was (huh? Depreciation? Working capital? Is this company doing well? What policy changes would you suggest? huh?).

Anyway, so the weather cleared up today, and though I didn't wake up until 1PM, I decided to do my homework before switching on my computer, so I managed to do that. But by the time I was finished my assignment, it was just past 5PM, and there's not much use getting out there at that time of evening when shops on Whyte are closed (not to mention Whyte is probably still a disaster area from hockey fan destruction).

So, you're the only one staying in the whole time? Planning to study the summer instead of working?

Oh, and good work in the midterm :)

My course works differently from most other people's courses - rather than having lecture daily for 6 weeks, I have lecture every other day for 12 weeks. That takes me through the entire summer. :)
