20080111a new semester again
courses i am taking this semester
AA102-Accounting II
AB103-Statistics and Quantitative Methods
AB105-Organisational Behaviour
AB106-Principles of Economics
CS802-Social Issue in Science and Technology
4 core modules and 1 elective
i hope it will be alright since stats and econs have been taught before in jc and the lectures i had so far are quite okay except for the fact that the lecturers are not in the least entertaining
i am abit afraid for the social sci elective because there is project work and the project seems difficult and i don't really know anybody in the class. i feel like a freshman all over again just that i seem to dislike socializing as the days go by
but i am quite interested in the topics that will be taught and since its like a prescribed elective i have to clear somehow, may as well just study
the most i SU that stupid elective loh. haha
alright. first week of school was just boring
but there are like 3 tutorials to complete all by monday
me and lou were kinda tortured by the new topics and tutorials on wednesday night when we tried to attempt them
i was doing stats. reading the book was just weird because florence nightingale appeared in my textbook and tons other rubbish which i just skip becuase there are not relevat at all
lou was doing accounting. and this week topic was on ethics. haha. reading the book was quite bizarre also because when she opened the book there was this shakespear quote
"This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man"
AHEM, somebody pls tell me what that quote means
and then there was this even weirder quote
"From here that looks like a bucket of water, but from an ant's point of view, it's a vast ocean; from an elephant's point of view, it's just a cool drink; and to a fish, of course, it's home."
- Norton Juster, The Phantom Toll Booth
GOSH, what is this doing in an accounting textbook on ethics?!
but that quote got us laughing like forever. like super funny
then the stupid tutorial has questions like "should james call his friend". totally -_-
econs lect was not so bad
things were learnt back in jc. so relax
just that the lecturer is a MCP and he carnt really pronounce ceteris paribus and the fact that he has taught for over 10 years makes it even more -_-
but i do pity the people who didnt take econs before because they are going to use 3 months to learn the things that was taught over 2 years. first lecture only we were taught up all the way to elasticity. i think i will die if i didnt take econs before
organisational behavouir (OB) looks digusting because there is so many things to read and there is this creative thinking/writing segment where you have to looks at bizarre pictures and write an assignment, sth like that
which is BAD because i am nowhere near creative or artsy
alright. enough of schoolwork
met up with rena at jp this week and visited her hall.
haha, definitely eye opener for me, esp the things she and her roommate studies
makes me thankful for what i am studying. lol
going to meet jingting tmr for lunch and pass her dbsk 2nd asia tour concert
yup
and hopefully i can hit the gym on sunday morning since my timetable is 3 day work week
allows me more time on the weekend
yup, have been sick this week but i am getting well soon so hopefully can go
i need to exercise and stop snacking so much when i am doing work
its mind over matter. haha
exploring the human body episoide with dbsk part 1 was hilarious
my changmin was so cute with his bowtie and cute voice :D
eunhyuk got me laughing like mad
cannot wait for the upcoming episoide this sunday. haha
and changmin is such a good boy because he secretly went to clean up the oil spill in korea
what can i say, he has a kind heart. muahaha
oh, and i have wireless at home now. YAY
internet and youtube loads faster
but i haf to control the amount of videos i watch. ahha
alright, i guess thats all
i am happy that i have longer weekends from now on. HOHO!
