tired; drained; exhausted; spent

Well it's not nearly as bad as it sounds, but I'm really astonishingly tired. I covered quite a bit of maths today with a change of approach. I dabbled in a little bit of functions, graphing techniques, AP/GP and mathematical induction. I figure that it makes more sense at this stage to try and salvage a few marks from every topic instead of trying to master one topic at a time- which takes too much time for too little gains. You could say I'm applying the 80/20 principle to good effect, for once.

To be consistent with that spirit, I've decided to take a quick moment to weed out the seemingly minor habits which end up devouring the bulk of my time. With regards to internet usage, I'm not going to allow myself online for more than an hour at a stretch- and all I will do is to check my Facebook, LiveJournal and GMail. I'm going to stay clear from YouTube, Wikipedia and all the awesome RSS feeds on my Google Reader. I will have a lot of fun catching up on all the web comics and blogs I've been following. (As I type this, I just chanced on a 30 minute video from the White House called It's Time To Deliver- I think I can make an exception here.) As you've probably already figured out by now, I am a very flexible person- and that's something where the cons are far more visible than the pros.

I'm heading for my medical check up at NUH tomorrow, I figure I'd bring a book to keep my mind occupied. I'm not sure whether I should bring along Superfreakonomics, which I've been wanting to read, or some History, Economics or Literature material to read up. I think I ought to play this one by ear, and I don't feel traumatized enough to want to take a break. So notes it will be.

Heh. Such discipline is very new to me. I can't help but to snigger at myself. Even I don't believe in me! Hahahaha. We'll see, man.
