12:04 AM

Ok.. I think i'm mad over this blogging thing, but never mind.. Its only the first day.. muahah.. soon I predict that I will not even post for like many many days or weeks.

Anyway, these few days were very eventful.

Tues:
Had marketing class until 130, after which I had to do CAT (Computer as an Analysis Tool.. whatever) Saw wini (yes here she appears again) and we decided to go relax for awhile before going home. However she was really feeling unwell and had a slight fever, and she was feeling quite cold even though there wasn't much of a breeze where we were sitting out in the open. I offered her my jacket, even though there is a slight size disparity. So she had to squeeze into my jacket for the next few hours, trying her darnedness to fit into my jacket and keep warm from it.

And you may ask me, what's the point of this entire paragraph? Well, Wini found it funny and kept telling it to people we knew. And I swear my jacket was never the same after this incident.

Wed:
Had CAT project presentation, which wasn't the greatest. But its ok.. at least its over.

The more jing bao thing happened at night..
Charlene told me about an internship opening that was closing at midnight. Hence, I rushed out my cover letter by 11pm and asked various people to vet it. These all take time, right? By the time all was well and settled, it was 1145pm. Let's look at the breakdown of the time.

1145pm: Started to access OnTRAC
1146pm: page loaded successfully; logged on
1150pm: the page was stuck at "I accept", just before the page where all the internship positions were listed.
1152pm: still loading. Gave up and asked Charlene for help
1153pm: CHARLENE'S COM HANG! Asked Paul for help.
1154pm: he logged on using my username; page started to load
1155pm: page still loading AND loading AND loading..........................

12 midnight: error message given on the page

In the end, the application closed before I could submit my resume and cover letter, and I had to resort to sending them out by email. Hope it does not jeopardize my chances of getting the internship :(

Moral of story: never leave things till so last minute. More importantly, NEVER TRUST THE SCHOOL WEBSITE AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS!

Well, that was a long post! Especially since my current state is rather equivalent to being brain dead.. lol.. shall update soon, if time and deadlines permit :)
