One more month left! The phrase “time flies” has been used too often and is deemed as cliché. But I really have that feeling now. I still remember how miserable I used to be in the beginning, everyday seemed so dreadful. At that time, I was thinking: I feel like dying today. What about tomorrow? The day after? How am I going to survive the rest of the IA? Boohoohoo. Sad right. But now, I am feeling the lack of time here. I wonder if I can complete my work in time (shouldn’t be a problem). And I still have some more places yet to explore in Brittany.
I arrived at office at 830am. Another record breaking feat. This is because I am really running out of time for my final report. Tomorrow night I have to conduct 2 experiments. Then Laurent said we had to leave on Friday evening to his house at the Coast. Actually I should have enough time if I work at night. But I wanted to watch DVDs so that option is ruled out. I can skip the trip with Laurent and work over the weekend but that was ruled out too. Hence, I have to come to work early. I received an email from Kwan Meng, the Teochew who came to do my exp earlier. He said he is quite busy these days due to the final exam. However, he really hopes I can go to his house someday and asked when I would be leaving France. I would love to pay him a visit of course.
The 2 Americans weren’t around for lunch. I was completely quiet over lunch as working early in the morning has taken its toll on me. After lunch I went on to work again non-stop. By this week I must finish the report so that I still have time to amend before next Wed. The problem is Anatole is not around whole of this week and he will only be back next Tues. Deadline is next Wed. I guess I will have to submit the report without letting him vet through. He had read it once but that was only half of the report; without Exp5 and 6 and the conclusions. I can’t think of a way out of this. How can I let my sup vet through and hand in on time at the same time? By now, most of my IA friends in SG have let their sups read their reports. And I still have 25 ppt slides to do for next week’s presentation. I have done zero slide and am still typing this blog now. I think I would do the slides next week. And another thing is my final report cannot be completed unless I finish exp 6, which would end at projected time of 930pm tomorrow. That leaves me whole of Friday to finish up everything.
At 530pm, I was feeling tired again. I came early to do work but went back earlier. It is still the same. I have decided to wake up late tomorrow partly it is time for my last rental payment but for most part of it I want to rest more. Back in INSA, I wanted to use the kitchen and found a puddle of water flooding out from the gap under the door. I thought the sink must be stuck. When I opened the door, I realised that the water came from the 2 fridges. There was no electricity supply to the fridges and I just bought a packet of meat. Hui had just taught me how to cook the lardon. Worse of all, there was no electricity to the stoves too! I went back and cooked cup noodle. Fucking lousy residence. Lucky my food are unopened and still sealed intact in the packages. Hope there would be electricity tomorrow.
