Right at 0630 in the morning... "To boldly go where no man has gone before" - Captain Jonathan Archer of the starship Enterprise, 2151
This is wrong. This is so wrong. Nobody ever gets up so early if they can help it, especially me. Those who do achieve it by fluke or by getting lucky.
However, "To boldly go where no man has gone before" has inspired me. I'll remember that for life.
1430
My first day in school's over, and somewhere in between I met my buddy of all people! At her supposedly favourite snoozing bench some more. I was kinda napping when I caught the back of someone looking very familiar. However I closed my eyes as she turned around, and didn't think too much of it until my buddy called moments later.
"Are you in school now?"
"Yeah," I answered sleepily.
"Within the faculty?"
"Um hmm."
"Are you wearing blue?"
"Yeah!"
"Okies I'm walking back now."
What a way to start the day. Heh. We had a nice talk and then went for our separate lectures, which, as it turned out, were in LTs just facing each other within the same building (LTs 24 & 25). She had a lunch date with her boyfriend and another mutual friend of ours, but I was already on the bus home when she asked. Oh well, there's always next week I guess.
Also saw Kian Wei and Muslim during the physics lecture, but might I add that i am rather determined to be a loner. It may not be right and I might decide otherwise, but for now that's my MO unless someone can convince me otherwise.
And on the last leg of the journey home, ie the last 5 mins to my doorstep I met none other than dear mum. Life is just full of surprises. Well I was thoroughly tired when I got back home, but still saw no harm in trying for a 6th mod...
...And I got it. A math module. Not the 1505 one, but a linear algebra one. Which conveniently eats into my rest day, and all thoughts of having relaxing wednesdays off have just evaporated into thin air.
Well at least now I can plan my tutorials on wednesday afternoon without any qualms. And without any squirming and being squeamish in general.
And after hearing what buddy had to say about having more people equates to better grades, I realised I am better off doing it now than in semester 2.
Which brings me back to my point that one module done now is one less to worry about next time.
Well, life IS a trade-off after all. You can't have everything, no matter how much you try.
