Alright alright, it's been 3 days of school so far and 2 nights of sleeping in hall.

I had a tough time adjusting on Tuesday night. Couldn't fall asleep. Last night as well. This morning I woke up so early at 5:30am and couldn't fall back to sleep. Ate an apple and some almonds before I fell back to bed at 7:30am.

I'm already done with a week of lessons. And I'm pretty much set on my timetable already!

Tuesday - Interpersonal Communication Lecture & FYP Seminar
Wednesday - Working in 21st Century
Thursday - Interpersonal Communication Tutorial + Faith And Art

The reason why I highlighted Faith And Art in red is because... I'm "auditing" that class. Thanks to a random passerby who tagged here and suggested I try auditing. He/she explained that auditing would mean that I get to sit in class without doing any assignments or sit for exams. It is purely for the lessons. What an awesome thing, and I'm doing it for this class purely for the sake of learning.

I'm really interested in Faith And Art. It's about interpreting Religion in Art forms, how bloody fascinating. I went for today's lesson to consider taking it up, but after realising that there would be a ton of work to do and the fact that I'm taking this mod and eventually S/Uing it (which means to void the module), I don't wanna give half-hearted work. I don't want to just take it and then try to pass it by giving sloppy work. I know such a topic requires effort, yet I can't afford to juggle FYP with this so I really don't want to stress myself over it when all I want to do is have fun learning this! So... Audit it shall be. Essentially, it's just me spending time listening in on these lectures.

I went to the Professor, introduced myself, explained my situation and asked if I could sit in her lessons and learn for the next 13 weeks. She said, "Sure!!". Maybe she's angmoh and thus, very pro-learning. She was so chirpy about it. I already feel excited about attending lessons. It's my first time taking an ADM module and I don't wanna leave Uni not having tried something different.


So, as you can see, I only have 3 days of school. The rest, I'm freeing up for FYP.

And my stay in hall won't be wasted because I foresee myself spending quite a lot of days mugging and editing FYP and writing reports. Whew.


I decided to take a stroll around my hall. Ok, actually I just took a lift going up and down my block coz apparently there's a sky terrace!! Wow! Decided to checkkit out.


Chyyyehhh, mehh, neh wasn't even the slightest bit impressed by the "sky terrace"

A little more pictures of the opposite block (a total of 4 blocks I believe) and basketball court:





I was more impressed by the other side though,


Pretty impressive huh?
It's the soccer pitch at the sports & recreation centre.

And the wind is massive up there, check the wind blowing my hair out:

boomz.


Wanna check out the best view, which is none other than the one from my room?

The view that I'm looking at RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT?



THE VIEW THAT I SEE EVERY SINGLE DAY WHEN I WAKE UP?




WAIT FOR IT......



ANTICIPATE........


HOLD YOUR BREATH.....


LO&BEHOLD, THE ONE AND ONLY,



Le'sigh. It's prison break I tell you. My room is actually quite stuffy. Believe me, when I open the door, the wind outside is cooler than it is inside with the fan. So I guess I gotta get out when I need a breather and some fresh air.

The building is structured in a circular, semi-circle way such that you can't see or peep at the resident opposite you. Like, you can only see either the shelves or well, just something else.

Darn it.


I had dinner with Rebecca yesterday, catching up like there was no tomorrow. Glad to have a friend who stays in hall too, which means at least one dinner of the week won't be lonely :') I hope to see her every now and then if I can!

All right, I'm off to shower and then I'mma start reading up on some notes. Play some music, meditate and sleep.

(btw speaking of shower, I was really irked by the toilets - poor toilets in a new hall. already damaged by humans' inconsideration. why can't people live more cleanly, hygienically and graciously? especially when we all have to share common spaces D; )
