Fear~
Last time I love to check my sch email.... i checked it very often, everyday. And I like to be well-informed with the latest news since the dept has alot of impt emails for us...... yes, including cock ups one as well. but at least alot of things going on and so good to know asap....
However now.... I am scared to check...... I dun want to but I have to..... cos of the dissertation and sch restarting soon. Everytime I check now I pray that there are no new incoming emails. If there are, I hope they are juz crappy ones..... cos right now we are doing dissertation, and I am completely messing it up, I am so scared that my supervisior would suddenly appear and email us to see us and what we have done so far. I dun have the courage. And all the more I am unwilling to go to sch or go here and there for the matriculation or etc etc. The feeling of going back to school is ...... haiz..... since I have work to do, I dun wish to go sch unnecessarily.
darn I havent do my check-up for the matriculation entries.
and since I always woke up in afternoons, i feel the day pass by very fast. I feel more and more bek cek (frustrated). I feel like clawing and biting people liao. *roars*
