new semester!

today was the first day of lectures!

i had only new media and society today, which was pretty cool since we have a total of 4 lecturers who hail from puerto rico, south africa, korea and america. such blatant displays of diversity make me appreciate my education in nus so much more. :) plus i wasn't alone since adilah takes that module too! i missed her a lot during the past half a year since our schedule did not coincide in the slightest. but now i'm gooooood. hehe.

anw i've decided to drop my methods of social research module to take up an additional malay studies one, most probably malay families and households since ayu will be studying that, too, this semester. which means i will have company! ;) methods of social research sounds like way too much work for me to cope this semester, what with me having to take 6 modules and everything. 2 individual research projects where internet, newspaper and magazine resources are not allowed?! no way, jose.

this semester is shaping up to be waaayy better than the first one. for one thing, i've already secured most of my modules without experiencing much distress. i have at least a friend for company in 4 of my modules (so fun right?) my nm final exam is in mcq, and the final exams for the two ms modules i'll be bidding for will be open book! && alfiyan's polytechnic education will be ending in app. 5 weeks after which he says he will crash my lectures! yayy i can't wait. that is, if he still hasn't found a job to keep him occupied before the ns enlistment.

eek speaking of which. i am reeeeaally reeeeeaally dreading alfiyan's ns. i don't know how i am going to cope not being able to see him for a whole week, or even more, seeing how i'm able to meet up with him in the flesh practically everyday right now. sigh. howhow tell me how! the only solution i have come up with at the moment is to keep myself super busy in the following ways:

1. take up extra modules each semester! a minor in gender studies, maybe?
2. take up a job! probably a tuition job or two.
3. join a CCA! i was thinking netball, but i feel icky-ly unfit right now.

well that's all i have so far. i shall go talk to more people to get more ideas!

ok this is a pretty long entry, eh? i'm trying to keep myself entertained while waiting for my darling yan to finish his lecture at 230pm. which is in 7 mins! ok2 i better go now.

later, people.
