Okay, first day of lectures and lecturers.
Accounting was the first lecture to be given on this morning. Mr. Gooi was the designated lecturer for the two hour session and he wasn't as boring as I thought he'd be. Though I was nodding off in the last half hour or so. It was practically the same things being reiterated today as they've all been, since I was 16 doing Form 4 and then 5 followed by SAM and now this. Hopefully, this third time around I won't have to suffer so much. By now, all that stuff being forced fed into my brain should be enough to churn out a good grade by the end of the year.
Next was a Marketing Principles lecture by Mr. Liew. He's definitely different from any lecturer or teacher that I've ever encountered before. For one, he's frank. That would be the word I'd use to sum him up in a single word. And he has this slightly off American accent thing. Maybe not even American but something very Western-ish about his voice and the way he talks. Marketing seems fairly interesting so I'm quite intrigued about this new subject.
Everything seems to be whizzing by so fast. Text books need to be bought, tutorials to be signed up for, and subjects to take up. I'm already quite steadfast and confirmed on the subjects that I plan to be doing this semester. The three are Accounting, Marketing Principles, and Microeconomics. Business Statistics seems rather bland to me so I'm thinking off skiving that off for next semester only. I might just do four next sem too if I find that the work load is not too bad. Then I can kind of relax a bit in my last and third sem with only two final subjects to complete rounding that off a total of nine subjects. I should enroll quite soon too as well. I have decided pretty much on what I'm doing this sem already. Procrastination is the key to mind sublimination. Right.
I'm having my first Microeconomics lecture tomorrow. I'm just hoping it won't bore me to half death. I love leaving after 9 am for 10 am classes. I get to skip all the hectic and massive jams that come with the morning rush hour. Hopefully most of my classes will be like that in future.
Let's see what else. Oh, I'm thinking of joining a club or editorial board. I just emailed an editorial committee team called A-Voice about five minutes ago. It seems rather, um, "small". I can't quite describe it actually. It seems that with every institute of education that I attend, these editorial boards seem to get smaller. The Nostalgia board that I worked with in Form 5 was the biggest I've been with so far. Not that I'm being all proud or anything. Just stating a fact. I could be wrong about this A-Voice though. I just feel that I need to do something other than studying. I'd go mad if I didn't do anything else. Hoping that I won't need to do so much stuff at the same time too. Maybe writing an article in a few months or so. I'm a lazy writer. Learning a new language is quite out of my plans for the moment because it would mean more tuition money to be laid out and also getting to that centre would be quite a hassle. Though I still want to learn up the Japanese and French languages very much now. Maybe more than ever even. Le sigh.
I need help in reading my timetables. It's crazily set up and lectures are clashing with each other. I don't know what tutorials I'm supposed to attend to and I have yet to get my text books too. I think my lecturers are trying to intimidate us or something by threatening us with tutorials beginning as early as next Monday. I don't want to spend so much money on more books. But I've no clue on where to get second hand books. I hope the book store house cheaper or at least less expensive books for us poor students with shallow pockets.
Anyway, deviating away from the subject on college or uni life for now. I've started on the sixth book of the Chronicles of Narnia called "The Silver Chair". Err. That's it. Damn, my real life sucks.
