Week 5 Day 2 in college 17/05

Started the day waking up late for school 15 minutes before the class starts. Had to pull out $21 for the taxi fare and then I was late 30 minutes for the first lesson on communication skills. It was already the second time i got late for this particular module, first time was because i waited to go to school with my new acquaintances and then second was this.
 Lesson was fun, the lecturer was informing us about the skills acquired for engaging people with a good speech presentation while i didn't need those because i had enough of these coaching in high school and previous college, what i am lacking is only the experiences!

Next module was database fundamental, starting the lesson with giving us a deeper glance into foreign keys, reminding us that it a key of a table with a column that is a primary key in some other table and INNER JOIN functions- that selects the rows that satisfies both the table in database while the other one called cross join selects all the rows from the 1st table and all the rows from 2nd table and shows a Cartesian product.

Afterwards there was an important test that weighs 5% of the total module, which i believe i have screwed it. Out of the many questions with each that worth 10 marks, i only got a few right. I was stupid enough to not remember these:
----------------------------------------------
SELECT A.name, B.name, C.name
FROM tablename1 As A
CROSS JOIN
tablename2 As B
CROSS JOIN
tablename As C;
----------------------------------------------
SELECT description, COUNT (*)
AS NUMBER
FROM tablename1
GROUP BY  description
----------------------------------------------
SELECT Name, marks+2
FROM tablename1;
----------------------------------------------
and etc. =_=
 To make the matter worse, i was the last to leave the lecture hall being the slowest and most dumb student, I felt so heavy in heart, that despite i studied for it i could still afford to forget them. I will never ever let this ever happen to me again. I am going to revise database and everything else every single day. Even if is boring and even if i got really sick of it already i will still cling on my notes.

Next lesson was computing math! Totally made my day when my friend Vincent, working under airbase - National Service, suddenly whatsapped me offering  2 of his ticket for riding on the propelling c 130 flight to me inviting me to the airbase open house at Paya Lebar! I was over the moon that he know that i am interested because i asked quite a bit about his work in NS before. To top my mood off with icing, I then received a grade A result for my prev math test on Number system!
My day may had started off bad but afterwards the feeling of gratefulness when something good happens was fantastic!

What I have accomplished that I think i was pretty proud of myself of is the fact that i managed to get the taxi in the morning to come to school before 8:30AM the timing whereby my attendance will be temrinated if i still do not appear for the lesson! And i am proud that i have become one of the people my friend would remember to invite to something so exciting and RARE like riding a c 130! ITS CRAZY! According to him, out of 15k people who register online only about less than 10 get the privilege! I am absolutely blessed. I dare not say im proud of my math result because it'll get harder and i'll most likely not get the same result again, i have to keep working harder.

What i am most disappointed in was the lack of discipline to wake up on time, although i felt a little giddy at first but i could have just at least try t wake up and do something about it! Its my responsibility to make myself move and get ready for school knowing that class is going to start super early! I am also rather upset about the fact that i wasted a lot of time chatting on my phone last night, i coud have revised on database and mathematics on logic which has been thought recently only.

What i hope to look forward on 18/05 is being able to absorb and understand fast in the computer system lesson and excel in the extra math class! I hope to optimize my time properly and so that i'll have enough time to blog.
