Week 3: Hectic & tiring

I'm so glad that tomorrow's Friday.  That means weekend is coming.  And since next week is Chinese New Year, it's going to be a long weekend.  After this week, I could really use a break!  Week 3 was a week full of deadlines.  I had my psychology assignment and my essay draft for my advanced composition that was due on the same day which was last Wednesday.  So on Tuesday night, I slept at around 4am just to finish my assignment.  God I was so relieved to have made it through that night in one piece.  But on the next day, I was so tired that it was hard for me to stay awake in class!

Owh and then when it was time to turn in my draft for my essay, it turned out that I got the format wrong.  Me and some of my other classmates.  My lecturer just tore my paper in half when he saw any essay that didn't meet his requirement.  Then he told us to reprint it but since I forgot to save it on my pendrive I had to go back to my hostel to print it.  Thank God I had a friend who was having the same luck as I was.  So we took a cab together since the bus won't get us back and forth with the amount of time that was given to us.  I felt so tired that day that I can't remember ever sleeping so well like I did that night.

my work was torn in half:-( taught me a great lesson....FOCUS!!

Then there's today, which is Thursday.  I did some heavy lifting today that I can't believe it myself.  I carried four gigantic books that weighs like an elephant!  To top it all off, I had to walk under the blazing sun with that load because the bus decided not to stop in front of the hostel but like a kilometer away from it.  Man I'm so wiped out.  And I got to deliver my introductory speech for my speech communication class tomorrow.  I'm so nervous because it would be my first time speaking in front of the class for this semester in front of a new and different crowd.  But there was one good thing that happened this week.  I actually got my book voucher that's worth RM200.  That actually made my day!  However, I'm just glad that the week is finally coming to its end.  Can't wait for the Chinese New Year break!!!.....

my heavy lifting items...

happy to get the vouchers^_^

Gosh!!

So there's this girl.  I barely even know her but I have a feeling that I'm not going to like her.  She's sooooooooooooo loud and it really hurts my ears.  I mean she's practically screaming even when she's talking to someone in the same room! Thank god I'm not her classmate because I don't know how I'm gonna survive if I am.  I also find her kind of rude at times even though some people think she's kind of fun....

But why does she have to be my housemate's classmate?  Because now, she's gonna make frequent visit to my house and I don't think I'm gonna like it!!  Can this semester get any 'better'??!!!

Spring Semester at INTEC

The spring semester had just started and I'm expecting it to be a lot tougher than fall semester.  For one thing, there's more courses.  Did I ever mention what the courses are?  Well if you're curious, then let me list them down for you:

USEL 21       Fundamentals of Critical Thinking Skills

USEL 22       Advanced Composition

USEL 23       Fundamentals of Speech Communication

USEC 21      Introduction to Microeconomics

USMT 22      Calculus for Business

CTIS 20        Syariah Islam                                               

USSP 11       Introduction to Psychology

.....there you go.  Told ya it's gonna be tough this semester.  Well, may Allah help me get through this semester.   Amin....

I'm pissed.

I don't know if I'm actually allowed to be pissed, since in a way I am at fault, but yes, I am pissed.  Here's how the story goes.  I got a call from my mom and she said that she and my dad are almost at Akasia (my hostel) so I'm supposed to be down. This is like a routine for me everyday, having my dinner with my parents I mean.  So I was in a total rush because I don't want my mom to start complaining on how I'm late at getting ready and all that until I forgot to wear my student ID.  I have it in my bag but it's just that I didn't put it on me.  As I was walking at my fastest pace out of the hostel compound, the guard call on me.  Just great.  At this point I knew what was coming.  Obediently, I went over to the guard.  As expected, he asked me about my student ID that we students were supposed to wear where ever we go.

It was really obvious that he was trying real hard to make me feel guilty that I had broken a rule.  But apparently, I was too busy checking out whether my dad's car is outside or nor.  He was going to start the lecture on how I'm supposed to wear my student ID at all time and it's a huge 'crime' that I don't.  He even showed me the tickets making sure that I get what he's trying to say.  Sure pak cik I get it, now spare me the lecture!  And what a great timing does my friend have because then and there she called me to ask about something.  As distracted as I was with the pak cik and my constant peek to check out whether my parents had arrived, I clearly didn't pay attention to what the pak cik is saying and so I singed off the ticket.  He just smiled at me saying that he wasn't gonna penalize me but since I already signed it, it simply can't be helped.  So,  yes.  I was given a ticket for not wearing my student ID to dinner.

I was so pissed off that I can't even enjoy my dinner.  After that, it seems like everything seems so wrong and triggers my anger to switch on.  That my friend is something that I really don't like to happen.  And that is how I got pissed off.  I can't even get why I was pissed off.  Basically, I kind of caused the problem but it makes me so mad for no reason.  That's what my dad always complain about.  He said I have little patience and tolerance.  Judging from what happened, I guess it's true....

I'm back....

Finally, after surviving a week without internet connection, my housemates and I decided subscribe on our own rather than depending and sharing with other houses.  So yeah, I'm back online.  At the moment, I'm meeting with a dead end to a calculus question and it's driving me nuts!!!  I used to love maths when I was in high school but college maths really makes me feel like I never learned a thing.  Maybe that's just me.  I really shouldn't put aside maths during that 6 months of holidays because I think it made me lose almost 40% of the maths data that I had stored up in my brain!  Enough with calculus.

Today, I had a psychology class along with two others.  Even if it makes me kind of sleepy, I really think that it's an interesting class.  I get to learn a little bit about observable behavior in human which usually differs according to the environment.  I never had this kind of class before so to me, it really opens up a whole new world of endless knowledge.  I'm looking forward to my psychology class, for the lectures I mean but the assignment, well not so much..... in which I might add is due next week!  Really need to get started on that one.  Oh well....

Week 1: Awkward!!!!

As the title goes, yes my first week at INTEC for the spring semester seems pretty awkward....It's the whole new classmate thingy.  Last year I was in a different class than this year.  Only three of my friends from last year are with me this year.  It really is weird feeling to see new faces that you're still not comfortable to be around with...

Owh and class, well, I guess it's ok.  But I'm still struggling with calculus.  Calculus for Business was supposed to be a bit easier compared to Calculus 1 but since I'm quite week with my Precalculus, it felt really hard for me to understand class.  I really am trying to do my best this semester because last semester exam result was a total disappointment.  I believe I did good enough to deserve an A for my classes but I guess I still didn't meet my lectures' expectation since I didn't get one freakin' A!

So I guess I'm supposed to make that a lesson and turn over a new leaf this year.  I'll get back to you readers when awkwardness goes away....TTFN^_^

Back to INTEC

Today is the registration day... can't believe that the holidays are over!  I wasn't even in the mood to pack my bags so I procrastinate.  I only managed to pack everything this morning so we arrive at INTEC at around 11 am.  Thank god there's still not many people there or else it'll be hard to get a parking spot.  But it's just the hostel registration so after I got all my stuff in my room, I went back home... LOL^_^  That's the advantage of going to school somewhere near your house!  So anyway, still can't believe class will be starting very soon.  I've got some major studying to do once class started since I need to get a GPA above 3.5.  That's my target for this semester.  Hope I'll succeed...

 

A bag and a pale... that's all I need
