going home

I'm going home tomorrow! Alor Star here I come. ^^

I really dread packing. I think it must have something to do with the desire of perfectionism in me. Forget one thing and I'll beat myself up mercilessly (mentally la of course).

I have so much work yet to be done. And I still want to go home. A practical exam to prepare for, a physical pharmacy test to study for and a lab report carrying 40% weightage to write. Some more the practical exam was suddenly transformed from an open-book test to a no-books-allowed one, much to my incredulity and disbelief. I couldn't hold my laughter when I thought of the lecturer being so 'berkuasa'. So funny.

There's a conflict of instructions here. We were told by one lecturer that the test was and open-book one, and that we are given 10 minutes for each station. Imagine our incredulity when another lecturer said that no books would be allowed. That means we will have to memorise all the methods and procedures for the different tests.

I want to believe in the first lecturer. But then the second lecturer is the one who has POWER.
I'm a very opinionated person. And I just KNOW that it's only standard and correct procedure that practical exams are open-booked.

I have this feeling that when we go there on Wednesday we'll be told that we can bring in our books after all. Then I'll have all the satisfaction of going
'Hmmph. See? I told you so.'

But until then I think I should stick to memorising the procedures.
Consequences are too dire should I be wrong. I am too opinionated for my own good.
The little man in a red suit with a big moustache who has the superpower of shooting fireballs is to be respected. During my childhood I was always the tall, gawky, green sidekick though. Elder brothers always get to be first. >_<
