day 1 and 2 at sch

right. school has finally started. and i'm being exposed to this really new kind of environment. gosh.

day 1 was atrocious. being the first day at school, everything was so unfamiliar and apparently superbly huge. it was a disaster trying to find my way around this enormous campus. the worst thing of all was that there wasn't enough time for me (as in us) to visit the cca fiesta! so what if the fiesta was held consecutively for the whole of 2 days? the unlucky us had lessons on both days, with no extra time to even visit the booths -.- terribly disappointing.

lessons were a pleasure on day 1, for that everything was new, and there was an urge to keep awake the whole day to know more about each module and what else i would be learning. but the worst thing of all was the promise of bizca, that was broken within minutes after it was made. the lecturer kinda promised that there would be no additional assignments (a.k.a homework) for the first week. great! (the class heaved a sigh of relief.) who knows, just as this was made, lecturer had us to stand in a circle (in the order of our birthdays). that was done in minutes. later, the class was to get into groups of 4s (with a mixture of guys and girls), so stephanny and i joined larry and junwei (if i didn't get his name wrong, if i did, i'm really really sorry.) then the climax was: to get into our groups and discuss on the topic on learners. no big deal about that. afterwards, lecturer told the class to be a bit more serious about this discussion thing, because we were supposed to do a video (using moivemaker) to present the answer to our discussion. gosh! look! groupwork! yikes!

ITL also had projects assigned. haha. so had math. it's some project on graphs. haha. spare me the agony man. gosh. tons of project flowing in all at once.

day 2 was relatively tiring. it was crazy. i was marked late for the first lesson, because i arrived at 8:06am. 6 minutes was all it took for a "L".
yes, to mention, the hardest thing to juggle with is actually the time to arrive for lesson. for instance, ITL is right after BIZCA, which means that there is logically no time at all for me to move from one block to the other. if that's the case, shouldn't something be done? like say give an allowance of 5 - 10mins? or let lessons be allocated at the same block on a certain day? things like such should be reasonable. i mean, yea, i'm used to "following rules" and i've been instilled with the sense of responsibility, sense of shame, sense of integrity and most importantly the sense of righteousness. i really dun enjoy the idea of being so "inflexible" with rules. even things like "stomachache" cannot be used as an excuse for being late for class, isn't this a little not fair? what about ladies' problems? can they be used as an excuse? shouldn't each individual student or each individual case be dealt with differently? uhh.. maybe some improvements can be made. the school perhaps should always remember that the campus is huge and time is needed to travel from one block to the other.

anyways, during ITL prac, was appointed the assitant class rep. (thanks to stephanny -.-) haha. class advisor was pretty nice. (btw, she looked like a mixture between gu ma and cass' mum! omg. the upper portion of the face was like a photocopy of cass' mum's! but the rest was a photocopy of gu ma - except for the hair and specs.!) omg. i'm still in shock man. haha. maybe i shouldn't have said anything about steph being the class rep lo. oops. apologies to ting li, really really didnt mean what i said when we were at blk 18. i was just joking and playing around la, shall not say that to her again. hai. so sorries.

collected ez-link card and soe shirt. the shirt is not too nice, cos the material used to make the shirt is a little "translucent". a near-see-through thing. i prefer last year's black and orange shirt. haha.
signed up for tennis, badminton and fencing with steph. we are considering strings too, but have yet to contact the cca yet. guitar would be fun to learn (:

had web publishing lesson. nearly fell asleep. maybe because i'm not too interested in designing my own web page and i totally feel that i won't ever be creating my own website (in the near future, maybe except for the need to change my blog or something.) but the best part was that almost the entire class was on msn. i didn't go on msn, for my tablet was lagging. duh.

last lesson was math again. spent an hour on tutorial (with the failed attempt of question 3. sad. sad. sad.) then the other hour was to try install scientific notebook 5.5. it was hard to do, cos had to change the settings and blah. blehhs. wasted my one hour. could have used that time to get home -.-

i still feel uncomfortable with spending such long hours in school. i'm still very used to staying at home with mummy. feel a little lost without her by my side 24/7. daddy said i kinda like a big baby piggy, who clings onto my mummy piggy. duhhs. thanks alot daddy. i think daddy said what was in my mind. on this note, i love wednesdays and thurdays and fridays! i only spend like 3 - 4 hours (daily) in school on these days! yippeee!

haha.
tomorrow morning reporting for work at 6.00a.m.
gosh.
i better go to bed.
school, love it. hate it.
zzz..
