so very stressed now. so many reports due soon. fyp ending on 31 march. 2 reports deadline 31 march. thesis due mid april. 1st report is halfway done only. 2nd one is untouched. fyp progress is super slow. only getting data tomorrow. hopefully the set of results taken tomorrow will be correct. i feel so dead. so many things to do. so little time. why am i spending time here, updating this entry? i dont know. i am brain drained. been struggling with the submarine report. cant think of how to rephrase the information. i am literally drowning. will any submarines be able to save me? skin friction report? all i can say is there is definitely be lots and lots of friction opposing my progress. i am in panic now. i am physically and mentally drained and stressed. add on to other non-academic problems. at the verge of everything now.. help... panic mode alarm has sounded..

after 5 months of hard, banga work (sorry, no offence), the setup is finally done. the spires are mounted, the planks mounted, the roughness fetch done. the roughness fetch, which are done by painstakingly drawing lines and then gluing the cubes on the plywood 1 by 1 looks so beautiful on the wind tunnel floor. after all the delay.. the computer crashing, the manometer not working and being inaccurate. real data can finally be collected.. whoo hoo.. not much time left. hopefully everything runs properly and smoothly this time.. =)
