A marathon month ahead
I’ll be running a marathon of the academic kind over the next month…Sighs. Deadlines and tests are looming large before me, like a shadow threatening to engulf my entire existence. I guess i still have it easy compared to others so maybe I shouldn’t complain too much and just grit my teeth and go on..wading through the forest of assessments and/or commitments below:

So…it promises to be a tough month ahead; particularly the next two weeks. Still, listing out everything I’ve gotta do here was kinda therapeutic. I’ve outlined what I need to do and now there’s just a ’small’ matter of trying to achieve them…
So guys, if I ever snap at you especially in the next two weeks, please bear in mind that it’s probably a combination of my hormones and the workload above.
Cheers everyone, all the best with your assignments too 
p/s : International Dinner last night was FUN!! As expected they didn’t serve caviar after all but the Russian and Cuban fare on offer was excellent. Some people came in the weirdest costumes e.g a guy dressed as Anna Kournikova. Could have pulled it off but for his chest hair…..=p
