So sorry that this might turn out to be a whinny or long winded post but....

What a week it has been. I swore it started out fantastic. I had my studying groove going, bought 2 fantastic CD's- Damien Rice's O and Coldplay's X&Y album and well things seemed to be going ok. As the week stretched on however, things just started to well, fall like a cannonball.

Study progress slowed down, and just yesterday, I had to go back on my word. Usually when someone gives me something and tells me not to pass it to anything else, I keep my word. The same goes for keeping secrets; or can I anymore?

A friend of mine was having real big problems with preparations for exams and called me around 1.30am to ask for help and also model answers (which I had promised tj not to pass anyone-it was a lot hard work which people shouldn't free-ride on). I was reluctant to give the model answers firstly, because I told tj that I wouldn't pass it around and secondly, because it was raining and I had to go all the way down to the trinity resource centre to print out copies when I could be spending my time studying. And well, the damn rain (which has been going on all week) and puddles of waters along the way weren't too pleasant.

Then again, I know that I cant just shut out someone in need of help, even if it is because of his/her ignorance which led to such a situation. Pretty sure TJ wasn't very approving of my carebear behaviour and he has every reason to think so. In the end though, I feel it was the right thing to do. But *sigh* I just hate going back on my word.

Moral issues aside, the International Finance paper today was a disaster. Somehow proving my hypothesis of Chenghuan's Effort Reflection Theory to be true.
R=1/kE+C
where R=results
E=effort put in
k=positive constant (exogenous)
C=Effective copying or plagarizing (without getting caught)

For some reason, I've been effort into things I do this semester. I had cut my warcraft to zero, spent more time studying and yet, my grades are at their all time worst. In previous semesters I was sooooooo slack and my grades were fine. PPPFFTTtt. Of course, I wont let this hypothesis (it is just a hypothesis afterall and I still have a chance to prove it wrong) get in my way because I cant imagine how I would have fared had I not put in any effort at all.

So there. So much for this week! Good luck to those who have exams the upcoming weeks!
