Slow and Painful

Today is such a long day I spent 12 hours in school. I arrived at 9am, doing PracTech projection financial reports till 1pm, then had my lunch, went to PracTech revision lecture, attended another PracTech meeting, watched Kung-Fu Hustle (ok, I need a break. Everyone does, rite?), studied ERM, and finally travelled home.

During PracTech lecture, Justin seriously had nothing better to do he drew on my hand using his black thick pen. And let me tell you the saddest story. All the things he drew were nothing but nonsense. He even drew Bing Go!! I didn't know he loves Bing Go. Lol.

Anyway, today I studied ERM to prepare for my Mid-Semester Test. And guess what? It's all about SAP BP-ERP!! As what Mr. Jackson says, SAP does not stand for Systems Applications and Products, but Slow And Painful. Lol. Anyway, seeing Justin studied was scary. He built mindmaps for every chapter and his paper was full of blue-inks. He said ERM is not hard coz it only needs logic and common sense and all you need to do is just write down all the things you have in mind, with some seasonings of related technical key words you have learnt. I kinda agree but that applies only when you understand completely how ERP works, and how this connects to all business processes.

But anyway, I am not gonna copy his way of studying, coz I am not a mind map kinda person. I am not the type of person who can remember everything just by seeing key words, colours, and images. I need something more than that. I need to link all points together, see how one connects to the other, and how the topic I am learning interlinks with the one I revised previously. I need the complete story. When I study, I need to understand the macro picture, and this requires more than just key words.

Too bad I was not really prepared with my own notes just now, coz if I do, I will surely write so many stuff on it. Just now I was using Shana's notes and Justin's textbook, so I couldn't scribble on it. And when I study, I need lots of highlighters and coloured pens, coz this what makes things more attractive and fun.

And I studied in the school library until it closed, until I was being chased out by the staff. Lol. And damn Justin he kept on reminding me that he needs only 15 minutes to reach home, unlike me who took an extra 20 minutes, excluding walking from the bus stop to my block, waiting for the lift, search for house keys, opening the door, and finally get in the house.

But anyway. Im glad that today I finally did study. I was so worried but I think I wud manage to score in my term test. Wish me all the best.
