eventful weekend
in about 9 hours' time, i'll be back in school for another long week (fine, four days) of school. i've to say i'm dreading it pretty badly, but hopefully i start managing it all well. unfortunately for me, history doesn't bode well. i tend to take a while to adapt and understand what's required of me in a course. i took 2 years in ri to start getting my As, while i distinctly remember taking half a year in rj trying to figure out what i needed to study and how to study it.
sadly, i don't have 2 years, or even 6 months to start getting used to everything. i need to start getting used to it asap, and that's why i'm so stressed and afraid i'll flunk out. i sincerely hope i don't have to repeat modules or something, but subconsciously i'm pressuring myself. i guess i just have to do the necessary readings and squeeze some revision in.
melancholic thoughts aside, i actually did manage to enjoy my weekend. i thought it might end up a work-filled, highly-strung period, but i was wrong. i managed to complete my case summary on time, and ended up having a good time. saturday was san mei's party, where we (i.e. mainly glenn, joshua, dedrick, audrey and myself) had fun kboxing on a huge projector screen with 50 strangers, after which the twins and i adjourned to (where else) al azhar where i bumped into shihui of all people =) nice to meet friends you haven't seen in ages, because they were all smart enough to get into LSE haha.
church was good (when is it ever bad?) albeit a little different because we ended up sitting almost right at the back, but the view wasn't bad or anything so that was great. and of course the guys insisted on lanning, so i went along, and we ended up playing games for hours and hours! and even though my day ended with eating pizza for dinner and as a result i feel like i've a terribly dry throat and heaty system, i'm glad my weekend wasn't as stressful and nerve-wracking as the rest of the week was, or as terrible as i thought it might turn out to be. so thank God for that.
hope the week goes well for all the new SMU students, and for me too!
