End of 1st semester!

April 12, 2007 hschin Leave a comment

The last day of classes was today…Can’t believe time passes so fast…it’s already the end of my first semester in university already! 6 papers to go before i completely finish my semester! But my schedule is quite crazy and its not helped by the fact that McGill doesn’t have the practice of having 1 wk of study break.

So basically, my exams start in 2 days time (Friday)! By this time next wk, I would have finished 5 of my 6 papers…1 paper on mon, 2 on tues and 1 on wed. Then the next paper is MORE than a wk after…haha…oh well…i can’t decide if time shld pass faster or slower. On one hand, i really want the exams to be over and done with but on the other hand, i would have liked more time to prepare for my papers…

That’s all i have time for now…just a short update. Time to go back to work!

Spring forward, fall back

That’s the easiest way to remember how to adjust your clocks for Daylight Saving Time (DST). It just means that in Spring, changeover from standard time to DST is to adjust your clock FORWARD by an hour, while in Fall, you turn it BACK by an hour. It’s my first time experiencing the changeover from standard time to DST. It happens tonight at 2am, when clocks will be adjusted forward to 3am, so technically, the day will have 23 hours and i’ll be 1 hour short of sleep =( (Nvm, i’ll gain it back in Fall!)

So now, the time difference between Singapore and Montreal is cut from 13 hours to 12 hours. Not like it makes much of a difference if the time difference is already so large…haha…
