{Exam Stress! - Friday, November 10, 2006}


Haven't been blogging much because I've been mugging for the coming exams (two on the 13th, one on the 15th, 16th). I come home really really tired and the last thing I really wanted to do was pen my thoughts. However, I have to complain about one of the units I do... Accounting Infomation Systems. To me all it ever seem to have is AYMUAYGs(accronyms you make up as you go) and I dont know if its the text book or the subject but sometimes its really damn duh.

I was reading through this chapter about preventive controls and physical protection of assets. At a glance anyone would have thought it's about sex, but its not. So it goes on and on (for like a whole damn page) about how to keep inventory in a storage area accessible only to employees to prevent unauthorised people from stealing it. DUHHHHHH. Where else you going to put it? Out on the sample tray so every passer-by can take a piece?

And check this!!! Couple pages later I read something like 'put passwords on your microcomputer (personal computer) to limit unauthorized access to your data'. I mean SERIOUSLY...the term microcomputer is soooooo nooooob! And better still put passwords to protect you data. SHITTT! I WISH I THOUGHT OF THAT! MAYBE PEOPLE WONT FIND NUDE PICTURES OF MYSELF ON MY DESKTOP! (I dont, so dont bother trying).

Anyway, I'm not complainig about the workload and I know I can speed read through this crap but that's not the point. The point is, this is simply stuff which writers should be paid to publish. It's really painful to know that part of my $70 bucks is going into fluff. Heck I'd rather give that money to the people vandalizing the toilet walls.

You know exams are near when you start seeing an influx of writings on the library toilet cubicles. Sometimes they are really quite interesting. So being a typical kaypo Singaporean I read to the last line, then I got curious and wondered if the girls' toilets were vandalized too! No, I didn't help myself by walking into one, but I did ask Shups what was it like in the girls's ones. It was only then I realised that the stuff they write and the stuff guys write is SOOOOO different! Guys toilets are full of racist and sexist jokes while girls toilets are filled with Aunt Aggie emotional Q&A stuff. Eg. I really like this guy, he danced with me but I realised he has a girlfriend, what should I do???

I say kick him in the sack and he'll be crawling at your feet. Literally, of course.


Speaking of sacks...its time for me to hit mine. As in...hit the sack...go to sleep. Heh, check it out, I'm getting myself into more trouble trying to explain myself. Silly me...NIGHT! ;)
