Like hell on toast.

[feimao_the_evil]

School is starting soon! D:

I still need to go to the NUS co-ops to get my texts and course packs >_> Ah well, Tuesday I end at 12nn so I have the rest of the day to get lost on campus buy my shit. I’m glad I managed to get all the modules I bid for though, bidding was like hell on toast, all the more so because I really had no idea what was going on even after reading the CORS guide. Luckily I had Mren, Mei and Gloria to remedy my noobness, hahaha. Thanks guys! :D Still don’t know my full timetable because tutorial balloting for my modules hasn’t started, but what I DO know is that:

1. I’ll be taking modules in Psychology, Political Science, English Language, Japanese Studies and Social Work. The world can decide for itself if it considers this a good or bad thing.
2. All my lectures fall within the Monday to Thursday range, so if I manage to get the tutorial slots I’m gunning for, my Fridays will be free yay :D
3. Bidding is like hell on toast. I cannot stress this enough.

Oh yeah, and I’m officially 19 already o_o Wah, I think the fact that I’m going to university still hasn’t sunk in because I don’t seem to feel the aging process as keenly as other people. Yesterday I went to NUS to submit my GIRO form and I was surrounded by all these adult-looking people who gave me weird looks and I was like aw hell, this is going to be my school for the next 4 years >_> People there actually look like what university students are expected to look like. I still have relatives asking about my O or A Levels T_T One aunt asked me about my PSLE but thankfully that was in Sec 2. If anyone tries that again, I will use their arterial spray to repaint my room.

Also, I realise with every visit to the library, my list of books I want to read just keeps growing longer and longer. And it doesn’t help that all of them are historical non-fiction books, the brethren of which I have been voraciously devouring for the past several months. I was so impressed with Black Earth by Andrew Meier and Stalingrad by Antony Beevor that those books are on my official hunt list the next time Kinokuniya has a sale >8D The other day I went to Kino with Rach and Viv, and I found an ENTIRE SHELF dedicated to Russian history and politics. OH KINO HOW I LOVE YOU SO, DON’T WORRY MY PRECIOUS BOOKS, MUMMY WILL BE COMING BACK FOR YOU SOON <333 Speaking of Russia, as Singapore celebrates National Day, the 9th of August this year also marks the tenth anniversary of Putin’s ascent to power since Yeltsin appointed him Prime Minister in 1999. ... Putin is scary D: I don’t know what else to think of him, really. (Oh Ivan, why do you always have such scary bosses, come here and get the tender loving care you deserve *hug*)

And there is absolutely nothing weird about the fact that I read the Moscow Times online every day.
