Easily the worst break week by far. By miles...

1) Graphic calculator died on me, one week before my stats quiz.
2) I realised I missed my internship talk.
3) I spent almost the entire week in school.
4) Godfather's dad passed on.

Break? What break? Yup, that would summarise this week. It was either meetings, or there was work to be done that could not be done at home. The whole week felt like a normal school week with the absence of classes. Life's like that.

My faithful TI-84 Plus unceremoniously died. Barely a month after changing both sets of batteries and getting warmed up to using it again, it has gave up on me. My dad said he dropped it recently, but argues that he was still able to switch it on after the drop, thus absolving him of the blame. I still think the drop caused a slow death. Hmph. Trying to do stats with the normal scientific calculator has been a real pain, and for now, all I'm doing is writing out the distribution steps to those sums. Life's like that.

I missed the wretched internship talk. A talk so great and life/internship changing that it would have a startling effect on my internship. Or so it seems. I don't see how important that talk is, so much that missing it rules out an entire summer's worth of recognised internship. If it's that important, they should have incorporated it into my freshmen briefings since they did the same to the community service talk. I do admit it's my fault for missing it, but to be so inflexible, really... disappointing. Life's like that.

My godfather's dad passed on. It was for the better I guess. After his leg amputation at the end of last year, his health had been steadily deteriorating and the loss of his legs had made him pretty upset about life. He was a nice man, always smoking his pipe and riding his motorised wheelchair around and just spending his time around Singapore instead of staying at home. Rest in peace Godgrandfather! Hm! Life's like that.

Life's like that.
