Just a quick one again tonight because it's already 0300 and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to last the entire day tomorrow. Our FYP final report is due at 2pm and its the reason why I'm still up at this hour, combing the report for errors, adjusting borders and correcting formatting issues. I'm feeling a little antsy and rattled at having to work on this at the eleventh hour. My personal working style rejects doing any work outside of administration on the last day. All cognitive work should be completed at least 2 days before the deadline with the buffer time left to make final checks and to ensure ample time for processing in case of any administration error (printing/binding issues). This by no means suggest that I am always on a time crunch and have to work late to adhere to my self-imposed deadlines - No, I simply start early and take a systematic approach so that I do not have the extra chore of having to reorganise my work after "vomiting" out content.
So I don't take kindly to staying up all night to complete an assignment that is due the next day, let alone the biggest assignment of my undergraduate life. Don't get me wrong, I am not placing blame; the reality of working in groups is that you have to adjust to the work-style of your teammates and I am not one to refuse to be a team player. Besides, they are great teammates who are responsible and produce quality work. I'm just saying that this style exhausts me and as a result, I am up here at 0308 rattling on because my mind is now too stimulated to sleep. I look forward to saying goodbye to such a lifestyle ASAP.
Allow me one complaint: I have a full day of work tomorrow followed by evening lessons and I already feel grumpy because I know that I will be fighting fatigue. Does not help that the following day lends no opportunity for rest either. I can't wait for this week to be over!
In more positive news, I received my first acceptance letter this afternoon so that's pretty great. One more hurdle to get pass before I can finally heave a sigh of relief, one step closer to setting the scene for the proceeding years after graduation :3
