Meeting-of-the-Day

In the evening, we had our NUSIS Committee meeting. Quite productive! After that, Jimmy, LK, Desmond, JY, Adrienne and I went for dinner/supper at AMK S11.

Today, I received my test results for 3 subjects. I did well for 2 of them but the Analytical Chemistry test result was a disappointment. By my brother's standards, that would be a fail (because it ain't A).

I think my expectations of myself have been too low. Just can't seem to be as hardworking as I used to be. I've been too lazy and slacking/playing too much. Time to pull up my C.A.P. to a safe zone. pQ: Remember that contract we drew up about studying? We've got to put that in action (for both you and me.. we got to edit that contract).

Some ground rules:

• If it ain't an A or fullmarks, it's a fail.
  

• There should be only 2 areas of concern in my life: shooting and academia.
  

Strive harder.
