[ 1247. First Day of School ]
But of course, how can anyone not blog about their first day in school?
Then again, probably there're more people not blogging about it than those who do.
Whatever.
Let me digress from the topic first. Last night was a smashing time of supper with chris, jason, roy and daniel. A short and cozy affair, bitching over chomp chomp's (not that famous anymore) hokkien prawn noodles, satay, oyster omelettes and watered-down sugar cane juice. And I seriously think we did scare away the patrons on the next table with our conversations. If i didn't know better i'd have thought that they freaked out. Haha. It has been a while since i had supper there, and i was pretty surprised that seats could be secured so easily, almost within minutes of arrival. Probably because it was a sunday. And people had to work. But then again, do yuppies care nowadays? They'd only care when they hit the midlife crisis and realized that they are losing their health along with their sleep.
I sent them all back, since it was well after midnight. It's fun to zip down the expressways in the middle of the night, when there are like no cars to compete for lane space and weaving menacingly through the traffic. Although there's still a considerable amount of traffic at CTE (which i didn't understand why at all) but it was all fun and pass too quickly.
Alright, back to day. So you know, definitely i'd have had a sleep deficit. Waking up was already a chore. Waking up at 630 in the morning is just so much more excruciating. All these pain just to hitch a ride from dad to school, and save on that money and torture of sardine-packing in the morning rush to boon lay.
Three lectures, two venues, and with almost no time to zip between the venues. Definitely i was cursing under my breath about the efficiency of the varsity administration. Certainly it didn't made sense for us to run from one end of the school, up one flight of stairs, take the lift up 4 storeys, across the nanyang auditorium, into the north spine and up another 4 storeys for another 1.5 hour lecture before backtracking to school for yet another lecture. It's just... brainless.
102 was by far the most interesting lecture of the three i guess. (Yes, insider's joke.) It's interesting to note that 102 is actually a course about journalism and not a how-to course, and it's also interesting to know that there's just sooooo many things to know about journalism's role in the media. Yeah, it's just interesting. =) Though 108 was more of a personal fav due to the nature of the course, but there's something that's putting me off. But i'll try to like it anyway. Haha. 111 was just like social studies / economics / human geography all rolled into one. With projects, papers and endless readings to do, i figured that i was in for a hard time. Reading was never my forte. Projects were never my forte. And paper-writing is like the pits of all. But it's alright. They all say i'll grow to love it. =x
I'm gonna clean up my bunk tomorrow. I promise. =p |
