the end of September

yes, this is an update of my life.

so few weeks into the start of uni life and workload will naturally pile up. things get tougher to understand and concepts require more time to digest. weekdays are packed with events after events. nonetheless, still surviving. still looking forward to more me time and family time near the end of September when i need not give any more tuition lessons.

anyway, come to think of it, by then it will be nearing the midterm exams. ohh man, this sucks. thank goodness uni holidays are real holidays with no nonsense like homework relating to academics. just fun and CCAs. so yeah, on one hand i look forward to the end of September while on the other i might not look forward to it that much.

the struggles

i think after too long away from school and away from the life of a student.. i have almost forgotten the struggles and what not faced by a student. experiencing those and some other stress somehow seemed to be something new to me. well, maybe it is due to the fact that there is quite a significant jump in standards and lifestyle between JC and uni. for Singaporean guys like me, NS further broaden the gap or break time between the two education stages.

so yeah. somehow i feel weird no knowing how to do like 25% to 50% of the questions in tutorials and what not. somehow i feel weird to take longer than expected to decipher every key points of each lecture weekly. somehow i feel weird almost constantly working with minimal rest time and what not.

i guess i have to get used to all this.. and fast as well. haha.. may i find the light at the end of the tunnel of every lectures and tutorials. snowballing doubts and what not will be a real killer, i know. they say Science student's timetable is packed. well, true and the content we get is similar and so our 24 hours are pretty precious. really hope i can juggle time well. with that said.. i can't wait to stop giving tuition soon. more time on weekends for me and the people around me.

each Tuesday evening

just going to be a little random and say how precious my Tuesday evenings are these days. one of the core module, CS1010S, that i am taking is super time consuming and tedious. second half of the week and weekends are spent mostly squeezing every ounce of brain juice just for this module. tutorials upon tutorials, assignments upon assignments, deadlines upon deadlines. there seem to be hardly any rest time from the lecture every Wednesday.

each Wednesday morning, they will drown us with information and what not, expecting you to learn quick and start your practices through the week. through the week, most of the times by Monday, i would be done with them. so Tuesdays are more or less CS1010S free. the relief is always so satisfying. i am treasuring every Tuesday evening as i need not do that computing stuff.
