What's bad...

Ok its been a long time again, so I will play it "heaven and hell" style.. Im gonna bitch in this entry and be nice in the next,

First and foremost I failed driving, with an I.F. and 38points. Much as it sucked initially, I was laughing over it hours after I failed. I really shld watch out for oncoming cars before I do my right turns (not doing so will result in I.F.) and someone shld really drill me on the safety measures to take while in circuit, parking etc. Cos nearly half my points were deducted due to safety measure. And for once I can safely say that its not just my fault that I was not safe (read btw the lines). Ensure that yr instr (especially if u are under priv) teaches AND DRILLS you all the safety measures REALLY REALLY hard. Cos the testers are real ANAL over it.

Uni life is taking its toll on me. All the term papers and important assessments are happening at the same time.. Well actually there's little homework, since I dun have tuts yet, but seriously I rather have hw than have to probe in the dark on what I shld do. I havent really the slightest idea what I can do besides hw. JC and sec edu only stressed on hw and thats abt all that Im expecting now. Things like external readings and research etc dun really ring a bell. I think reading the textbook first is the safest way out. And I must say I really suck at research. If not for Google, I think Im screwed. And I have yet to learn how to use the RBR yet. Gotta learn it soon. And the RP for PL modules are breaking my momentum, having to participate in experiments and all.

Anyway I think school just needs a little getting used to. Then there's CCA. Its rather irritating that there are still welcome teas and everything, which I hardly attend. I havent firmed up on a CCA to join but even so, that will have to wait till I get more settled. I think Im gonna have to rethink my resolution on not having a CCA in first yr. I mean, its now or never.

And I must say IVLE and NUSmail is really stressful sometimes. The amount of posts and post (that was a deliberate spoof of words) on both channels can really piss ppl off. I spent one whole afternoon commenting on my tutor's qns, which actually are similar. If not for participation points, I will probably not bother typing them out.

I havent really made friends yet since there are no tutorials till next wk. Missed a few gatherings here and there due to schedule glitches and all. Made a few hi-bye friends but despite everything, Im more glad that my old ones are still around.
