Week 1 of school...

Its 3.26am now, on a sunday night, or rather monday morning, and i should be sleeping. Yet, I decided that no matter what, i should get this post up before going to bed. And so, here i am, trying to write down my thoughts and experiences for the past one week plus.

BOSS bidding session:

How and where do i start? Its not something I look forward to, neither is it something which i hate. I think perhaps its just that I haven gotten the tricks with bidding. Nevertheless, after one big round of "drama", I've finally gotta the ideal 4.5CUs for this sem, without having to take a particular mod with a slightly demanding prof. Really glad that things turned out well for me in the second window. I've got a friend who is still bidding for her mods when it has been 1 week into school. Thats one of the few faults that i find in the whole bidding system. Apart from that, i think bidding is all about beating the system and working smart to get your mods, yet remain "wealthy".

School:

My experience with school thus far has been good. Have been busy searching for textbooks (which i ended up buying first-hand), going for meet-ups for camp friends, attending lessons and making new friends in class out of just a simple conversation. I cant say that there will not be any changes to my current views, but i think i like the way SMU "forces" students to volunteer to step out of their comfort zone and talk to others and make friends. Somehow, i like the way it works.

School work hasn't been too demanding to be honest, but i kept having the feeling that there wasn't enough time to complete whatever that has to be done for class, on top of having a "life/lifestyle" and handling CCAs. Adjustments take time perhaps.

Random thoughts:

I've always view entering uni as a totally new chapter in life, and its a time when you take bold steps to achieve whatever you set out to achieve. There are so many things that I hope to achieve by the end of the 4 years. Its really a time for one to do as much things as possible within these 4 years, because once you enter workforce, you'll seldom get the time and/or freedom to do certain crazy stuff. And so far, there are certain things which I've set out to do.

1. Obtain my double degree in 4 years.

2. Go for OCSP

3. Be part of the organising committee for a OCSP

4. Overseas exchange

5. Overseas internship (Haven really considered the possibility)

6. NYAA Gold (something which i thought of today, which i thought would be one of the great ways to sum up my uni non-academic experiences.

7. Committing myself to a long-term CIP. (Have an idea in mind, but have yet to take any actions. Afraid of not being able to commit fully too.)

The list is definitely long, but if I get to accomplish all, I can say that i have not wasted 4 years and that my uni experience was indeed all-rounded! =)

Random thoughts 2:

With new people being added as friends on fb, I feel that somehow, fb has no longer been as "private" as it used to be. And so, I'm kind of reluctant to post much things of fb nowadays.
