TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST, TOUGH MEN DO:
See this picture? That was like my nose all through Tuesday night and Wednesday... Just visualize it with a loose tap, a lot more flow, and a whole lot less gracefulness. Well, maybe also a lot more mess, judging from the mountain of tissue papers piling up in the rubbish bin and a whole lot of disturbing noises (like when you blow into a tissue).
~.~.~
My whole point is that it was hell going through all these AGAIN (yeah, it happened once before, crap~), while studying for another major 4AU quiz on Thursday. Going through all the online lectures (I counted - 15 of them)... It's like a movie marathon or something, minus the 'fun' part. And it's harder to concentrate on them especially when you're not feeling well. I got only in-between naps, & not 7-8 hours sleep during these tough times. I think it's getting far too damaging for me (at this age). =P Late nights, insufficient rest, pushing your body to its limit...
~.~.~
The quiz is finally over, I can't say I fared well for it, I dunno. I just dunno... But at least now, it's over and I can really get some good rest now. I'm feeling all exhausted & drained now, from the stomach flu, to the cold & sore throat all in a short span of 5 days (Sunday till Thursday). My friends analyzed it for me, they say it's due to my late nights that my stomach produces more acid - which led to the stomach flu & cramps, after extended period of times. And that lowered my immune system. Coupled with the stress of one more quiz, lack of healthy food when you're staying in hall & even more lack of rest/sleep, the cold & sore throat decided to kick in & join in the fun.

I used to do this all the time. But now, my body doesn't seem to be coping quite well with my usual way of doing things. So now, I've decided to lead a Healthy Lifestyle~! Well, at least try to... Sufficient rest, exercise, essential nutrition from my diet, more studies & less crap. Haha...
~.~.~
Oh yeah, regarding the driving after my quiz on Thursday, it went pretty well. The lesson whereby I made the least mistakes, & had my smoothest drive. Initially I thought I'll be too darn tired to concentrate on the wheels, but that was totally opposite to my case. The footwork was fine. The changing of gears was fine. The control of the steering was fine. The picking up & slowing down of speed was fine too. Of course, there are still some minor hiccups... but that's all fine. It went well. Guess when you're not so tensed over something, you might even perform better. =]
