Don't know why I feel so hopeless and helpless, even though both are not true. Also getting very lonely down here, even though this is not true. Sigh...

Looks like I won't have a chance to get a break after the exams are over... Coming up right after the exam: marking assignments and reviewing research. Yikes...

Forgot to mention the extra 1.5 hours for my office hour on Tuesday. That much time (plus a few more minutes) were spent with one student who simply want to get a couple of more marks on his assignment. He just doesn't know how to write a proper proof, and that was frustrating for me to explain that. Anyway, that was a bad experience, and time wasted for no good reason. I wonder in the future, how to kick away students who try to stay for too long... Normally I'm happy to spend more time with the students, but this guy was hard to deal with, and I have an exam to study. Anyway. End of complaint.
