It's already beginning to feel as if we were halfway through the term, although really, it's just the second week of school...lessons, have started. In full swing, for some modules. That's why it feels this way.

the people I hang out with, just like in secondary school, jump around all over the place. There's no one in particular, but actually, I realize that i'm happy this way. Maybe this is what my social life is destined to be afterall. Nothing has changed, and maybe that's the way I am. Random here and there, it's plain light-spirited-harmless.

Still, it would be nice to have someone special. OKAY MOVING ON

My class advisor was on course for the past week or so, and as such, we didn't get to meet and know him during the orientation. I thought it was kinda sad, that even after the class has gotten used to each other, our class advisor was still a mystery. In the meantime, he was replaced by lovely Ms. Mahani, our lecturer for OFA. Ms Mahani is really a lovely lecturer, and most certainly a person who people from our school can lookup to and inspire, because Ms. Mahani studied in the very same campus we are at right now, and is going to pursure her Degree soon. Need I say more?

Well, this week, the mystery that was our Class Advisor was unraveled. The entire class has been hearing stories about him here and there (ie from our class orientation usherers, other teachers, and Ms Mahani) and even I went around to ask. The general impression of what we had of Mr Sunny Chow, our class advisor, was that, he was going to be strict.

Oh boy, he IS strict.

He came into the class, and spent the entire lesson introducing himself, and trying to get to know us. Thing is, it was our quietest lesson yet. Our class is chatty, but this lesson we had was uncomfortably pindrop silent. He settled some admin matters (hey, he's our class advisor), and rolled out a set of rules. Blah blah blah. He said that anyone can engange him during the lesson to talk about what we're learning, but at this rate, no one is going to do so. No one. It's just a lesson -way too quiet.

As the lesson ended, we left the computer lab, all of us, half dead in the mind.

Every other lecturer who are teaching us right now, have been generally open and basically, less stringent. Mr. Chin, who is our lecturer for COB, is fantastic. There were even 2 instances I passed by Mr. Chin, and he stopped by for a chat. I mean, wow. Get this: we've already done our first presentation. That's how good Mr. Chin is.

Ms Cynthia is our POA lecturer. She isn't bad at all either, but the nature of her lessons are dry. Unbelievably, I dozed off in some of her lessons (OSHIT). Thankfully, I didn't miss much. That aside, Ms Cynthia is a good lecturer also. 2 weeks into POA, and we have covered 6 pages of assignments, and have started on the next topic already. I've actually learnt quite some! Along with that, 4 whole pages of notes which i've copied down, complete with my illegible handwriting. But heck, they're dead useful.

So, what's up with Mr. Sunny Chow? He's our BSE lecturer, and not to be negative, but I didn't really know what he wanted to do on his first lesson. At the end of the lesson, all I had is the definition of "Business" and a puny concept map.

Here's my worry: if he isn't going to teach us everything, then this is one module i'm going to have to actually venture out on my own to see for myself. I've understood what POA, COB, and OFA is, but as of now, I still don't know what heck BSE is. If Mr Sunny Chow isn't going to help, we're going to help ourselves. That, sucks. And it's worrying. If there's one thing I want a teacher help me to do, it's to understand what i'm taking. Once that is settled, the textbook and notes can do the rest.

This course, to me, is literally a 2 year race. Over and over, again and again the point has re-emphasized in my school: set goals for yourself. Now, I do. I'm aiming to keep things simple and clutter-free. Socially and Academically, I don't wish to fail. Not this time. Sorting of my priorities will help me know which is what in my life, and indirectly, I will know what shouldn't distract me. Nothing should, because i've set standards for myself this time round -and these standards, are high. I promised to myself to live up to my own hype, and I will. Sorry if i'm scaring you guys, but I just want to take every single steop possible to make sure I don't fail.

I have been given a second chance. This is how it begins, it picks up slowly, and before you know it, whoosh.

Socially, I don't wish to fail either. The people i've met in my class....are wonderful. They really are. And Jojo, if you're reading this, this one's for you! :D

Another side note: some of the people in my class have already gone for thier CCA's "training sessions". I should go find out more about what the Entreprenuer's Club I signed up for have in store for me, or even if or not i've managed to secure a place in the club in the first place(!?)

OHNO

before I leave,

I love you guys from SC. And you too, if you're reading this. <3
