the work cycle
yes this is an update of my life.
goodbye to the holiday sleep cycle and hello to the semester sleep cycle. no more going to bed to late. no more snoozing the alarm for hours just for fun for for that extra sleep. the mundane routine begins. i realised there is one thing that i missed out checking prior to bidding some of the modules this semester.. textbooks.
well, you see, i remember back in year 1 when i was slightly more hardworking on my research of modules, i was pretty particular with whether a module requires a textbook or not. if it does need one, roughly how much would it cost. of course, if the module is my core module, i cannot run very far away from the fact that i have to get one or what not. however, for electives i tend to sway away if it requires a textbook, particularly an expensive one. this semester somehow i most likely need textbooks for two of my modules.. two of which being elective modules.
damn.. ohh well. the little plus side is that interest was my first criteria in choosing both modules. so hopefully the cost will not be as painful. lol.. potential lies i plan to tell myself in times when i feel the pain from the amount spent on textbooks. i have to sell them after this semester to ease the pain further.
not quite used to the sleep habit yet. but i guess that is what the first two weeks of lecture weeks provide us with.. haha. on top of giving us time to bid for tutorial slots, i think i can adjust to my semester sleeping pattern.
first week of school, first lectures everywhere. hope these first lectures are more of introductory lectures and i need not use too much of brain juice. until next time then, cheers.

wrapping my head
yes this is an update of my life.
so finally settled down back in my PGP room after a busy and hectic afternoon of moving and cleaning. thank goodness the check-in process was pretty smooth considering the number of people i see who were in front of me in the queue. little changes can be seen from the day i moved out. my weird shaky chair has been fixed.. though i not sure to be happy or not lol. there are stickers around the room to remind residents to save electricity and not overload a socket.
yeah.. so this is it, sadly, the start of another semester. remember a couple of posts back where i listed things i ought to do over these few days? yeah i barely done more than half of them.. lol. procrastinating as always. okay, not such a good way to start. so i am here to prioritise for real. first, finding internships. this of course drafting out my resume and cover letters and submitting applications. second, shop for Chinese New Year. i have to do so as soon as possible if i want my delivery of goods to arrive to my doorstep on time for the 8th of February. third, submitting midterm scholarship applications. i put this the third as i seem a slim chance in getting any. nonetheless, no harm trying again i guess?
wow, okay, school lecture and tutorial materials are streaming in. i can even feel the gradual stress kicking.
no. stop.
haha.. i have to stop worrying about stuff before it even really hit. constant reminder to take one step at a time is really important i guess. prevents over-worrying and unneeded stress and anxiety. i shall slowly wrap my head around these things. give me a minute.
time to get shit done. until next time then, cheers.
