In which I update.
Hello my dear darling LJ, I have not posted since um. April. Yes. It's not because I've forgotten about you! More like it's because I don't think I have anything really worth writing about.
Uni has been...uneventful? A huge bunch of my batchmates are graduating this semester (though I'm not due to being held back by a year- I have Ping Yeen for company, yes, but she's only staying on for an extra sem...I think) and as much as I think Monash Sunway's better for me studies-wise, the irritation of having to rely on public transport (or close to public transport) to get me to uni irks me a little. I'm at uni from 8-5 every day even if my class finished at 12 but I suppose that's where all those extra study hours come in. I miss being able to nose my way into chem eng club functions (since there isn't one here) and the weekly career talks (and pizza, can't forget the pizza). The fun lecturers who go out of their way to make tutorials fun (like Karen who basically made the first hour of Control tutorials some kind of amazing gameshow thing, I loved that and I'm glad she was voted best lecturer in the faculty that year) and well-- basically, Melbourne's atmosphere. Back here it's all really studystudystudy and I'm quite obviously not contributing to helping out that statistic by being a faceless MUST STUDY GET DEGREE student. But, like I said, it's better studies-wise.
I hope, at least! I'm really really nervous for Transport Phenomena this sem and if I fail one more subject, ahaha. End of the road. Time to look for a job?
But either way, who knows? I might be going back there for a short holiday this year since one of my cousins have recently gotten engaged and I uh, still have money in the bank. Oops.
For now, it's mostly just FOCUS ON GETTING PAST THOSE EXAMS, getting that degree- oh, and that orchestra performance I'm watching this Friday. Is anyone going for the Philharmonic one that day? Yes? No? There's also news of VGL coming to Malaysia again but that's in....October, I think, so that's far away. Yeah.
So, what's up in your life, flist?
