ASSIGNMENTS ARE MY BIGGEST ENEMY.
They make me groan and stress and sleep deprived whenever the due date is looming near.
I could even feel a heavy weight on my chest and it was so suffocating I wanted to throw up. Talk about anxiety turned bad.
I've been frantically working over my adult intervention assignment since Monday and the journals are so hell-bent to hide from me that it took me countless sleepless nights just to get all the materials I need!
After that it was taking all my brain power to piece and thread all the information together to produce a quality review. But with the speed I was moving I found myself working like a mad cow in the library until the very last minute of the due date =.="
I wonder if it's us Chinese being kiasu or what, but my coursemate passed up her assignment at 2k words even though the word limit was 3k and there I was trying my best to flush as many words as I can into the essay to make it hit the number "3" at the word count =.="
WHY WE ASIANS SO KIASU HAR?? WHY AH?
I made the 3k words alright. And made a mad dash to throw the assignment in before they closed the door to the department.
A wave of exhilaration just washed over us after housemate and I dropped our assignments into the pigeon hole and we felt so relieved!
Housemate started laughing uncontrollably and I was infected too. I swear everyone who saw us thought we were insane.
All these stress-induced keesiao-ness just for an assignment!?! Yes I also think we have no life, haih.
Both of us laughed all the way to the car and hopped in and drove straight to Mc D.
WE WANT REWARDS!
We bought ice cream and relaxed while we nom-ed on our reward. And after that we flew home to drop our stuffs and zoomed out again to the nearest liquor store before it closed.
Housemate got beer and I got myself a bottle of Vodka.
After that, we treated ourselves to Thai food at a newly opened restaurant in our suburb. Food was so-so but housemate and I were too delirious to notice the food quality because ASSIGNMENT WAS OVER!
The last thing we did was to have a toast back home and sat back on the sofa to watch gossip girl.
It's funny how post-assignment effects can make two absolutely sane person go gaga for a moment. As much as we despise the grief assignments bring, nothing can compare to that exhilarating feeling you get the moment you place your assignment through that pigeon hole.
Assignments. Beer. and Gossip Girl.
This is life for me now. And I'm happy =)
Skyped with boyfie after celebration. + another happy!
