"Name-changers" I know

My life is a whole big mess of STRESS and people who treat others like shit(you know who you are). I looked at all my notes and unread chapters piling up like a mountain and I'm scared. One of my modules requires us to read up to chapter seven according to the lesson plan. Dear mother of god, I'm only in the middle of chapter one. That's not the only module I'm lagging behind in. There is none I'm ahead in, or well prepared for. For one of my modules, I missed the first two tutorials in 2 weeks. I'm praying the tutor wont ask me what happened or I'll have to make up some crap excuse. I'm making a mental note to myself that I will attend all the rest of the tutorials for that module no matter what. What to do, class participation is a heavy frigging 15%! Yes, one of the heaviest weightage I've seen placed on class participation. And I've just reduced like 3% for myself, argh... I even started to chant, "I will attend all tutorials" to myself for a full 3 minutes just to knock some sense into me haha! Pretty lame?

Anyway, on to lighter things. I received an email from a fellow classmate who's interested in joining my project group. When you send an email from the school account to another student, there is an auto name check to ensure that such a student exists. Therefore, the name of the recipient will appear in the "to" section. I dont get why some people can spell my name with an extra "g" when they just saw my name like a few seconds ago. There are instances when a certain project mate whom I have worked with for 2 months spells my name with a "g" in all emails with my name. It can get frustrating, but I cant really be bothered to correct them. Though I can get insulted when I'm in a bad mood. Hee hee..

Next time when you send an email to someone whose name ends with something like "lin", try to make an effort to check if it has a "g" at the end. In case she is the kind that gets offended easily. :p
