Three cheers for five years

hi guys! back again for a short update before i have to start on my 1200-word singapore history essay which is due at 1pm on monday. and i haven't written a single word....... lel

everything shall be in point form, cos i'm too lazy to try to link up all my random thoughts.

1. kinda realized that every other person in fass is an econs major. dunno how i feel about my degree being so generic? hahaha

2. german 4 / GAP has been actually surprisingly interesting so far, and i kind of regret (a little bit) not putting in enough effort in the first few weeks of GAP. i was wondering if i should take german 5 next sem (LOL i know it's super early to be planning mods for next sem) but... prolly not cos i'm too lazy to keep studying so much for german.

3. the past week:

week 9 has been pretty eventful. had a tutorial presentation for german on wednesday and there was no given topic at all. so basically i could have talked about anything i wanted. and i chose... coffee. of course. it was pretty interesting doing research for the presentation cos i learnt so much more about coffee.

anyway, that has no link to monday. HAHA. had one tutorial on monday and that was it. i can't remember what i did on monday after class. i think i went to YIH to work on my script.

on tuesday i met lianne as usual for our 3101 lecture, and after that i had nothing on while she was going to meet her friend for dinner, so we both had time to kill. was standing there with our awkward blank faces wondering what to do, cos we weren't hungry and we didn't feel like studying (LOL life of a uni student, you only have two choices, eat or study) when:

me: "wanna go to museum?"
lianne: "eh idm leh."

so off we went. it was our first time at nus museum! (is it called natural history museum? i keep forgetting the name) and we were both so wow-ed by the exhibits. but we kept debating over whether the animals in the exhibits were real or not. hahahahaha.

we thought that the museum was small, but i later learned from my friend that the museum has two floors.... : |

wednesday was a pretty good day. tutorial presentation went rather smoothly (i hope), and i did well for my 3101 midterm. (but i flunked my two other econs midterms so...)

travelled back to the east after classes to visit my grandma, who had a fall the other day. was glad to see she looks well. hope she has a speedy recovery.

then i went home and slept 9 hours on my bed. i am quite a loser, still can't sleep well in hostel LOL and i always miss my home terribly until i come home on fridays. go germany how?

thursday morning, woke up and was all ready to head to school. was on my way to grab some breakfast first at simei when one of the straps on my old tattered backpack suddenly gave way :(

i guess it was about time. been using the same $25 backpack from bugis street for about four years now. though i wasn't planning to buy a new one till the holidays.

but bo bian. soo i went to clementi mall after class on thursday and got myself a new backpack! yayyyy. i like it very much. love when backpacks are well-designed to suit students' needs, yknow with sufficient compartments for different things and enough room to store books, a laptop, stationery and other misc. school stuff.

friday was a busy day. had 8am german lecture as usual, then i did my laundry, and then headed to utown to help out with vox gig. there were quite a few technical difficulties :( but the concert turned out great.

had an interview for an internship today, and it was so stressful. really don't like interviews. felt damn shagged on the way home, in my somewhat office-y interview wear and equally office-y jaded face, and wondered if this was what being an adult working full-time felt like.

it really doesn't feel nice. and i think i realized how older people feel whenever they say 'better cherish your uni days cos they will be the best times of your life.'

i guess they really are. and i do feel like i am in my prime now. like, life can't get any better, unless it's the uni holidays.

i enjoy what i'm studying, i have tons of freedom, unlike in jc and secondary school, and i think i have made lifelong friends in uni. perhaps we will not always be in contact, and life will separate us, one way or another, but i feel like my friends in uni are the kind of people i can ask out anytime in the future for a beer, and it won't be awkward. or maybe it's too early to say? hahaha. idk. life is unpredictable.

ah well, it's time to stop procrastinating. need to start on my essay like now. (wow a short update turned into a short essay, hope i can write as much in as short a time for my history essay too)

oh yes, three cheers for five years, acoustic version by mayday parade is... feels. so much feelssss
