The summary for this week has been quite enlightening. Frustrating..yes but thats not new. It was one of those weeks that I felt took forever yet zoomed by as far as deadlines were involved:
Monday: big assignment due, and again, i cannot overemphasize this one...team work is a biatch. Bogged down by totally mismatched schedules, theres essentially no possible way to win in this scenario ive realisedm with either you or a combination of your teamates bieng the team 'bitch/mbotch'. Theres no two ways about it.
Tuesday: big midterm: end up doing half of a semesters learning in a couple of hours..amazing what the mind will accomplish under pressure. Midterm went ok..but 4 years have taught me atleast wait for the results to come out. I also how much i enjoy project/system design. At work (after like a month of working at this research lab) i finally realise What it is all these researchers do all day! Pretty interesting stuff ..right under my nose too! basically if a pill to counter the effects of aging pops on the market, my feeling is this lab will have set the precedent. Made me think that working for a Biotech company is actually looking like not so bad of an option..constantly being on the forefront of technology give me a bit of a rush..
Wednesday: All pimped out for my grad photo!! which unfortunately wont be here for anaa 3 weeks..so hold ya horses..but take my word for it..i felt good, so i mustve looked better. Plus we are in a age of photoshop so it wont really matter how the pics come out hehe..(there have been some extreme cases though!) More group drama. Turns out from a meeting that half of my team for tommorows presentation have NO clue one (as in have not even done the required readings) so..a lil red alert goes on in my kichwa and anxiety builds despite my feigned collected aura..Im thinking bloody hell..more preparation for me. Ah well a chance to look good infront of the prof...so much for teamwork in the faculty of management! Meanwhile in my other disastrous group(u know,,the one that had me cursing a few blogs back) finally have a sit down with the prof(under my recommendation) and he talks some sense into these jokers..unfortunately he doesnt want to break up the group, so instead he decides meeeh, why not make this a lil fun and 'survivor' -like : we all have the power to vote whichever member we feel is contributing the least. I seel my project proposal to them reluctantly, but efficiently nonetheless..So we meet kesho to build on it. A case of the times/circumstances making the leader(and not vices versa?)
Thursday: presentation day. Havent eaten a THING all day. Have half a KitKat bar right before the presentation to get a lil sugar in the system lest i collapse on stage..it worked great..not the most eloquent guy on earth..but hey..the ideas kept flowing. Turns out that high-sugar-before-an-exam theory might be on to something after all(basically sugar spurt in the system aides enhanced synapse reactions..a sort of high..lakini once the sugar level come back down..crash!..so just make sur eu have enough to last you the exam). My entrepreneurship class afterwords is GReat..our prof pretty much shafted us on our midterm, and in this clas we spent arguing with this enterprising market guru about how WE think porters five forces model should be used. This course is like an MBA compressed into 13 lectures..
Friday: polite. Jionis get all revved up for Chris's and Wanjiru's 70's theme bash. Pull out the Flayers and tight leather jacket and voila..shaft is reborn. Bash is a plot. Bombay saphire is One great bottle of gin.
Sato: nurse the hangis, scuffle to get some work done. Watch 'RAY' (ray Charles boigraphical flick for you those in living on mars) . Which is a moving epic of this great character. Quite ashamed i knew so little about the man considering his effect on soul, and R&B as distinct genre;s of music. Jamie Foxx absolutely Rips this role..if this is not a performance worht an oscar..I dunno what it. He gets right into ray's skin. Pity He's not alive to experience his the unleashing of his clone...Must see.
Time to exploit this bizarre phenomenon they call daylight savings and get me n extra hour of sleep!
one love,
