Week 1: Day 1 of school
Day 1 of school is much like New Year. You try to get everything off on the right foot. Its as thought the moment you open your eyes you gotta get off the right side of the bed and pray that everything goes well so that you don’t cause trouble for yourself too early in the beginning.
Day 1 is when I wake up early to grab some breakfast even though I have no classes in the morning. Met this International student from North Carolina living in Block A while having my half-boiled eggs. He was studying Electrical Engineering and had a cleanshaven head (which looked pretty cool). After we were done, I went back to my room, and took another nap. I blame it on the cold drizzle.
I woke up an hour later to meet a friend for lunch. That afternoon, I managed to print out some lecture outlines, check out CORS for one last module, borrow a book from the library, previewed a lecture, bidded on CORS for that lecture I previewed, and went for a lecture that I paid dearly for on CORS, Contemporary Political Ideology. After that, I went back to hall, had dinner, and tried to get to my reading while chatting up a storm.
Hall is becoming a hive of activity again. Wish I didn’t live in the corner of nowhere because I don’t get to see anything happen. At least my roommate and I can occasionally hear the seniors making a lot of noise on the balcony. Its the same thing, over and over again.
Finally, I checked CORS for the last time. I got my last module - EL1101E: The Nature of Language. And examining bidding statistics on CORS, I found that in Round 1b, Applied Ethics and Major Political Philosophers had little demand. Should have declared a Philosophy Major and snapped these up for one point, instead of taking HY and EL. Crap.
