spring 2005 starts

my first class was rather enjoyable, the professor seems really competent and he cracks in a couple of jokes here and there, so it will seem i can continue like last semester, liking the class. i found out chris is in the same lecture as me, so that's a plus. james is in my computer science class, rich is in my english class and josh is in my econs class. so im pretty set! first day's great so far.

it feels a little weird, its not like im new, but its as if im new here, because im taking completely new courses. its not like how it used to be in singapore, where you come back to school after a break, but continue with the same syllabus, same teacher and same people.

i went to deposit the money my mom gave me by cheque, to buy texts for the semester, but seems like theres gonna be a hold for a while, since its a considerably large sum for a new account. that might be a problem, i might not get some of the books coz i might not have the money by my side, but i guess i will work that out.

james got a couch for our room for only 10 bucks from an auction, and not only that, he got a brand new poster with these two really hot chicks and their 'peaches' and at the bottom, it says 'lend a hand.' some guys has already seen it and we're all marvelling at it and vowing to lend anything we have to help them out. haha.

so im basically back to listening to my ipod and walking everywhere around campus. somehow it feels really nice.

as for the courseload, i dont think i will continue with my environmental sustainability class since i cant attend half of it, and i also found out that john, the person who conducts the class, is still teaching the class in the future despite having already graduated. i thought that this might be the last semester that the class is being offered, so i took my chances, but i guess its not going to be like that, so i might as well take it at a time where i can participate fully. and i guess i might drop my japanese later on, i'll see, but its not something that is urgently needed at this time. plus, theres only like 6 people in the class, so participation and work is going to be under heavy surveillance. i guess 16 hours is good in a sense, that i can concentrate on those subjects more intensely, then i might end up with really good grades.

its only the first week, so i'll see how it goes.
