spiderpigSo the first day of school was probably a good start to the new academic year. I say probably because anything can go wrong - or go extremely in my favour - anytime, so I'll be all "perhap perhaps perhaps" right now. Still, what an exhausting start. 5 hours of lessons straight, straddling across the lunch hour. Shakespeare makes you hungry, I've discovered, even if you're reading King Lear and getting slightly depressed over the state of the play. You get hungry.
I'm hungry now. D:
But oh maaaaaan, I think Prof Ernest Chew is all kinds of awesome. He has rekindled the love for SEAsian history that I had in JC - all in 2 hours - and I'm itching to drag out my files and notes (HAHAHAHAHA THANK GOD I KEPT THEM) to just read through and reminisence. Alas I can't, because I'm going to be bogged down in 7 hours of Japanese prep and homework each week. Then again, it's 7 hours of what I've actually done before (I got chucked to Japanese 2 but wtf, I'll just rebuild on my foundation) so I'm aiming for hmm, no less than spectacular? Kids, never take more than a few months of hiatus when learning a language, you'll just keel over and lose whatever awesomeness you had last time. Really, I was awesome in the peak of my learning. I feel depressed now. D:
I totally exercised the OH I AM SO HUMBLE LOL Japanese syndrome yesterday when I met Chiba-sensei. She was like "Oh no, you're being humble" when I was disparaging myself and I was like "nooooooooo". XDXDXD
Shakespeare was, well I think I'm in for some S&M fun with Shakespeare. I'm rusty from reading Shakespearean English (I nearly put Middle English but I'm jsut making it up) but the course syllabus looks fun (minus group work. I hate group work. MOANS!) and I'm getting a few ideas for a term paper. If I get Prof Williams' approval, I'll like go all out for it.
Other than those two lessons, well... Monday was generally uneventful. I'm like, trying to get started on my SMUN research snippet (actually, a long snippet =A=;; ) but I'm procrastinating. Having 6 books beside you and a whole chunk of PDF files is definitely intimidating. I want to live my leisurely lifestyle!!
AGH! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE APPLE KEYNOTE WHICH WILL INCUR IN LESS THAN A DAY. Will the rumored Macbook Air (silly name, I say) become a reality? For one, I'm really quite looking forward to the keynote which means new technologic orgasms. Or maybe a lack thereof.
Oh well. Better get down to filling in the pre-lecture worksheet for Jap2. I've got a History lecture and that lecture later (4-8pm. WHAT THE FCK TIMING IS THAT I HATE TUESDAYS!) sooooooooooooooooo I'm going to melt off the face of the earth now.
