Easter Hols coming to an end…
My Easter holidays were neither great nor boring but I enjoyed it. Last Saturday, I went out to the city with some uni friends to celebrate Helen’s birthday and indulged ourselves on hot chocolates, waffles, korean food and Asian herbal tea. On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I dug myself into sedimentology and volcanology books since I was quite disappointed with my marks for the first half of this semester.
Besides the geology stuff I had to do, I spent most of my time on Wednesday at the GIS lab, mapping and trying to solve the problems that I’ve had with my datasets. The datasets I had to analyse were a problem - I’ve received two files of the same dataset that were meant to be exactly the same, yet they appear to be different. Either formatting went wrong, the file was corrupted or there is a compatibility problem between the Windows and the Mac version of Excel. Whatever the problem was, I would need to analyse the data again and start writing up my lit review. I had to take a long break away from study over the weekend and limit my computer use to an hour as my eyes were getting sore and I was starting to feel tired. I was shocked to find an email that said I need to give a mini presentation about my project on Wednesday. I tried to get out of it and sent in an email that I have a prac that afternoon, but he postponed it so that it suited my time. Damn! It looks like I need pull out something from Steve’s bag of presentation tricks.
