Uni Life Begins here

Alive!!! Day one at mq main- being always in only E3A & 3B, this day was a total shock and uncertainty. I guess i was expecting it a little prior to it but still it was one that did to a certain extend took me a back.

Started my 1st lecture at 9am. It is a much better timing than my time at SIBT. It was dry itself for the actual text of the session (CHN232)but the lecturer was rather interesting she kept side tracking into her personal life & experience. I must say that she does have quite a bit of sense of humour at her age. haha.. she is pretty old; probably around her fifties. For this morning class, i manage to drag joey along. So the two of us were us entertaining ourselves most of the time other than the times where we are laughing at the lecturer's jokes of her life.

Well, very quickly 2 hours past (wonder how quick is quick; i was looking at my watch half the time and thinking when the lesson will be over) so joey and I decided that it being the 1st week of class for the year, we will be sociable and go over to add to the atmosphere of O- week. Honestly, our aim was to collect free- goodies. I must say, we did quite a good job in our collections of "goods" haha.. it was funny cos we are always trying to get away from not signing up for the events and just grabbing all the freebies. Spend an hours or so there then headed back to college for lunch.

Noon i was out in the uni once again for yet another class; this time now it is my core unit so had to really focus. I guess it being a 200 level subject- oh i mean STAT 270; it was pretty ok. It would probably be better if i had done stat 170 last semester but i have done 170 like abut 1.5 years ago so memory of it was rather shallow but i suppose i will cope- we shall see.

That lecture when for an hour and i was in the line to queue for mine books for the semesters. Both the course notes & text sections. It took me about 1 hour to get both done. Not too bad for the fact that i was expecting it to be 2 hours wait each heee... so yep. Oh, by the way books in uni is not cheap at all. Each one like about 100 dollars-------- that's like RM 300 after i convert to Malaysian Ringgit. lol....

Had an evening class ACCG200- it is the most most most boring of all my 3 lecturers for the day. Seriously, it is crazy- the lecture had about 4oo people in the theatre and there at the stage is an old lady mumbling her words. I have no idea what she was talking about and my 3 other friends literally slept through the hour lecture. I did not want to be rule so i tried to be awake but had to kept drinking water to make sure i am not going into my lala land. As i look around the lecture theatre, everyone was either playing with their mobile or having "dinner". It is super boring!!!!!!!! I had since mad up my decision to drop that subject for this semester and take it up next semester and hope that the lecturer for this unit will change. I was thinking about it for the last few week if i will want to take it up so now after the 1st class i have made up my mind.

All in all it was lecture all the way through as there is no tutorials for week 1. That's such a good thing. Here is one more positive thing off uni as compared to sibt.

I am tired out by the classes not mentally cos i don't think i actually did take in any knowledge it being the 1st class but physically as the classes are located so far apart. But, it is good exercise for me so i shall not complain about it.

P/s: Thanks phoebe, for trying to assist me in my search for my lecture room this day. haha... you are my personal SOS.
