I'm slowly settling down, yea, however so slowly, I have to thank God for everything thats occurred in school thus far.

Today was a totally mentally draining day. I had to sit through 3 X 2hr lectures, all on communications, and some of which was repeated by different lecturers. So it's become a point that i found it to be torturous. You know, throughout my 1st lecture from 9-11am, I think I yawned like 20 times, fidgeted non stop and was on the verge of feeling claustrophobic. I felt kinda bad for the girls that were sitting on both sides, so I apologised to them when the lecture ended, as an act of courtesy in any case they thought that I was totally unaware that my constipated movements were distracting them.

But I couldnt complain. Because I would think of the footages which have been replayed over many times on the news. I felt so fortunate that I still have the opportunity to study, when schools have toppled over in Taiwan, and many more have been swept away by typhoons :( So I can't complain.

I can't complain coz I'm thankful that God has given me a place in this course, and my parents paid so much for university fees. So I can't complain.

In other fratty matters, I realise that Singaporeans (or at least those in my course) are really trendy people. There are a shocking number of students who are using macbook. A quick glance down the lecture room and you might think that apple actually sponsor notebooks. So many students either own a mac, or an equally sleek sony...The situation is so bad that my laptop appears to be a dinosaur beside them, which forms a small part of the reason why I'm still not bringing my laptop to school yet.

The people in my course are really smart... I was scanning through the lively discussion boards, and their posts are detailed, machiam like writing essays. hahaa, which again forms a part of the reason why I haven't contributed anything yet, coz I can't come up with that intelligent/ lengthy/multi faceted angled points.

I was so tired when the day ended, that I slept through my journey back home! hahaa... yea. I hereby dread Tuesdays : /

Thank God for guiding me through this week so far, will continue to rely on Him for strength and everything in the days to come :)
Cheers!

oh ya, forgot to mention abt my electives.
So I am suffering from the flashbacks of the horrors of economics. The warm smiles of my econs tutor didn't help to change my thoughts of economics as an evil monster. I think its a suicidal move to take Econs this sem. But now, even though I can still choose to drop, it will be difficult coz I'm very happy with my timetable now.

Thankfully, after Econs tutorial, I found redemption of my senses in a refreshing and entertaining French class. yea, I guess learning a language is a welcome break from all that academically heavy Econs graphs, or even my favourite Maths formulas.

Bonne Nuit (Good night)
