day one

10 10 2008

day one.

8.00 am – woke up to get ready, in attempts to be early for my very first lecture as a part Ib student

8.20 am – realises that my plan to wake up at 8 failed, when i was still lying in bed at 8.20

8.30 am – grabs smth that resembles food and rushes out the door.

8.35 am – gets bike.

8.40 am – discover that bike is broken. or at least screwed up. starts to scream (in my head of course, don’t want to seem like a lunatic!) and freak out. no way i’ll get to dept in 20 mins.

8.55 am – pleasedon’tletmebelatepleasedon’tletmebelate

9.05 am – reaches dept, can’t find the room i’m supposed to be in.

9.06 am – finds room. no more chairs in room. nearly contemplated sitting on the floor, until i saw yanhong and peng yang, and then shares their chairs.

ah. yes. eventful morning. my last few days here have been like murphy’s law. anything that can go wrong. does.

i’m sick (this is probly payback for me nt ‘believing’ in the existance of fresher’s flu) my stomach keeps churning, i was late for my first lecture, i’ve gt this massive blister on my foot thanks to my stupid flats, i can’t find my cutlery box, internet port in my room is nt working, and i still can’t finalize my options for this yr!

oh, and my room is still in a mess.

it doesn’t really look messy cos its big and the mess just spreads itself arnd.

anyways, yes. to more positive things. i got a free ft today. woo. how exciting. i read the first page and then decided that it was time to go to sleep.

although i have to admit i really enjoyed my finance class (at least thus far). its like we are studying real things that are happening, and not random, theoratical economics theories that you never really see in the real world.

but yeah, it could just be first lecture excitement. lets hope its not. i really want to enjoy all my papers this year. as nerdy as that sounds.

ooh, and *drumroll* i found wireless in my room! so exciting right? its from the jcr which is just sort of below me. so now i can wonder arnd my room with my laptop. yay. saves me the trouble of having to get a splitter so i can connect myself upstairs as well.

yes, and now its back to the ft. the great british bail-out beckons.
