Week 5 Thursday
The number of reports seem to be dying down. I can now breath, despite having spent Monday night and the whole of Tuesday in Canberra. Good sign that I will now have time to study for mid semester exams. Then again, I need to apply for a few research scholarships, which closing dates are fast approaching. Emailed 3 professors about it lately, no news from 2 of them while another said her lab will be understaffed during the summer hence not being able to take me in. She did say I was "a strong student" though, whatever that means.
That's it for now.

All You Need is Love
End of Week 4
Dying. Taking an extra subject is torturous. The prospect of having to do it again next semester send chills down my spine. Essays and reports seem to arrive faster than they depart. That leaves little to no time left for study and, the thought of the fast approaching mid-semester exams creates a terrible urge to pull my hair out. I have never looked forward to the holidays as much as I do now.
However, if others can make it through 80 hours of medical residency training per week, while studying for their post-grad exams(perhaps the toughest exam in their lives), all while working towards a Phd, then I can and I will do this.
Only 8 more teaching weeks to go. Bring it on week 5.

Read
There's so much to read this semester. Stacks and stacks of articles, journals, textbooks, manuals etc. Not that they're boring, not all anyway, and I do enjoy reading them, but there's just way too much to read. Not to mention my own leisure reading.
And yes, it's only week 2 of the semester. Maybe taking an extra subject wasn't such a good idea. But somehow I got through last semester fine, taking an extra subject as well. I guess this semester's subjects just have more to read. However, even though the student centre told me 63 times I should drop the extra subject if workload becomes too heavy, I think I will persist. After all, time passes so quickly when you're busy. 2 weeks have gone already. Only 10 more teaching weeks, then exams. Then holidays, then repeat from step 1.
Anyway, if you like Darwin as much as I do. Here are two fascinating and extremely resourceful websites.
