Progress Report over...

Tomorrow is officially a "NO THESIS THINKING" Day. For just one day... I want to get all of that thesis out of my system.

I feel so tired. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up really early, 12 noon would be perfect! And then I'll just make my mind turn to mush by playing Sims all day. Heh.

Yesterday was food stuffing night... Since it was Dad's birthday, we all went (my brother was still in the office) to Tramway Garden Restaurant in Timog (my ninang suggested the place). It was an eat-all-you-can buffet and I was crying tears of joy to see a plate full of buchi at the table. T_T

And yes, I ate a little bit of everything and a whole lot of buchi! Wah! Buchi = lurve! XD

All that before trying to finish my presentation for today. I was able to finish my presentation around 4am and I slept up to 8:30am. With a very, very weird (but funny!) dream. O_O

I finally got myself an ice cream today, after weeks of not getting any DQ... today I got Pecan Cluster Blizzard and it was soooooo good! ^_____^ Next time I'll try Caramel Cashew. :D

Oh and I was finally able to go to Red Box last week (October 8). I sang a lot of songs without hogging the mic but still holding the mic.. haha! There is a technique... :p I also sang 'Sobakasu' by Judy and Mary, which is the first opening song of Rurouni Kenshin. They were all like, "Kathy? You can read Japanese?" because only the Japanese lyrics were shown and I kept shaking my head saying that I really don't. Hello? Tons of kanji.. haha.. But I was able to sing the whole song! XD

I hope I get to come back to RedBox and next time I shall sing another Japanese song... Every heart by BOA, anyone? :D

I should stop dreaming right now.

I mean, hello?! Finishing my thesis in 7 days? Am I asking for the impossible?

Haaaah...

I've been doing my best, I really have been.. but it's still not enough. I finished all my experiments last week. I finished the contact angle determination and gave the samples for AFM on Monday. It's just too bad I couldn't get a good SEM sked this week because it was already booked. I got a spot for Saturday afternoon and whole day on Monday next week.

Things missing from my thesis:
1. Finish getting the contact angles and making statistical observations.
2. SEM pictures, which I'll be doing this weekend up to next week.
3. Aluminum deposited on top of Polyimide (Need a Vacuum Evaporator.. huhu...), my adviser hasn't been able to contact the people we need. :(
4. Bend Test
5. Peel Test
6. Analysis... look for trends... @.@

So yeah... I have finally accepted the fact that after two years of having good grades, I'm going to get an INC on my classcard.

*super grade conscious person breaking down*

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Why does it have to happen right now?! Right when everything is falling to place?!!! Why? why? why??? I tried my best! I really did! I have sacrificed a lot of sleep, eat and study time just to finish my experiments... I went home at midnight just to finish everything, I made permits, all those authorization passes and asked a friend to stay really late at the building just to be able to work at the lab (because I'm not allowed to work alone). I mean... I'm killing myself over this...

Why can't I just finish it this semester...?

Why? *cries*

*meltdown complete*

Okay... so it seems... I haven't FULLY accepted the fact that I'll get an INC in my classcard. :(

I feel really down right now.

I want ice cream. ._.
