We have 25 hours today! Yes, the daylight savings has ended and at 2am this morning, my laptop and handphone clocks automatically turned back to 1am. It is always good to have another hour, though what I got anything much out of the extra hour is questionable. Haha. The end of the daylight savings also means that we are approaching winter. After 2 weeks of telling myself that it still hasn't turned that cold yet, I finally have to admit that the weather is getting really cold, and I have started wearing my scarf and gloves.

Anyway, I got this off someone's facebook wall and I thought it is pretty cool.

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these
questions:

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

I remember last week I was complaining that I was really bored at having nothing to do. Well, I am not complaining anymore. I have so much work to do now! Work to be turned in on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, readings and grading to do and presentations to be done! Oh dear.

I just realized that I don't have any more tests to go for the semester, but I have lots of cases and presentations, which are driving me crazy. I must admit that I have slacked off in my group work because I have so many things to do and I just put it at the bottom of the list. But still, when I actually did something, it really sucks to have the person who consolidated the slides re-did my entire part without telling me why, and I still have no idea why he did it. I really hope my marketing project goes smoothly because I am not really happy with the way things are going now. I am also quite worried about my financial engineering class. We have to do 4 cases, and the 4 cases are only due in the last 3 weeks of class. The cases are not easy either, so it is going to be lots of hard work towards the end of the semester.

We have to register for our classes next semester soon, and horror of horrors, I found out that the two compulsory classes I have to take for my degree clash! I have told my advisor about it and I hope it can be resolved, because I don't want to not to be able to graduate because of a schedule clash! That would really suck. Other than that, I am really spoilt for choices next semester and I really have no idea which classes to take. I still have not made up my mind whether I should TA next semester too. I told myself I wouldn't, but I have changed my mind and now, I'm really not sure. Oh well.

SSA KTV/Games night yesterday made me miss home. Granted, I think I have not been feeling really homesick at all this semester. Maybe it's partly because my parents came here for a visit. But this semester is really passing quickly! I looked at my planner and I realized that there are only 7 weeks left to the end of the semester, and to me going back.
