Mondayitis

For this semester, Monday will be my busiest day as almost 60% of my lectures are cramped within that single day. I'm doing 9 hours on Monday itself, starting 9am to 11pm with gaps in between. I took up 5 subjects this semester and I have all of them on Monday. Among the 5 subjects, principle of finance takes up 3 hours, from 8pm to 11pm, the toughest slot of the day. It is the first time I encounter such level of Mondayitis. Plus, I'm a night owl. So I'm practically a walking zombie the whole day. If you bump into me that very day of any week, forgive me if I do not respond to your greetings from afar because my awareness range will only be within 1 meter radius (just to keep me off from falling).

But no worries, I'll survive the Monday"s"!

Ringtones


Regrettable, I woke up late this morning. Glanced my watch, it was OVERSLEPT hour, written there "You have missed your tutorial". Struggling to keep my eyes wide open, I checked the master timetable for availability of other slots of tutorial. The next tutorial slot would come in one hour so I slept again. Rushing through bath and dressing, I dashed for the tutorial, entered late only to find the only seat in front row. It took some time for me to settle down and enter focus mode. But soon after, the lecturer's "chantings" sent me straight into autopilot mode (as if listening to tutorial but my mind is actually blank).

Out of nowhere, "Twinkle~ Twinkle~ Little Star~~How I~ wonder~ what you are~~...." my twinkle twinkle little star ringtone rang. I quickly took out phone to stop it. It was then I realized that I'd made a bad move. I was laughed by whole class and my lecturer mocked that my ringtone is for sleep enhancing purpose. Just imagine that inside a silent class with serious atmosphere, there you have a bedtime rhymes. OMG, why don't I just act stupid like the phone wasn't mine? Darn it, I shook the feeling of embarrassment off and re-enter focus mode.



Just when I was about to doze off again, my power ranger ringtone (another phone) rang this time around. Although I think it is cool, this time for damn sure I acted stupid! I even waited a while before stealthily taking out my phone to mute it. Then I continue to listen to the lecturer. I was never the attention seeker in class but this time I'm sure everyone knows THE GUY WITH TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR RINGTONE.
