Feeling studious

My timetable for next semester is finally out. Let's see..

Monday 8am - 6pm with one 3-hr lab and one 4-hr lab, with no break in between. And labs have to be on Monday, I feel like fainting already. Together with the Monday blues, I think I'm going to be damn sian every Monday.

Tuesday 8am - 5pm. 5 lectures back to back, I shall not fall asleep in any of them!

Wednesday 8am - 1pm, followed by dance at 4pm. Maybe I can schedule tuition after dance like last sem. I love Wednesdays..short and sweet.

Thursday 8am - 6pm, with a 4-hr break between 12pm to 4pm. Screwed up timetable..but guess this is where I can fit an arts gem in.

Friday 8am - 4pm. Only 3 lectures with 2-hr breaks in between, quite a relaxing day. As usual, we love Fridays.

I wonder if the year 2s from other faculties have such tight timetables like ours. I must mention that university is out to kill us, by not giving us any lunch breaks in between classes. I'm going to get slimmer (yay!), maybe by surviving on energy bars while walking to the next lecture hall or tutorial room. But seriously! It's like 8am-10am, 10am-12pm, 12pm-2pm, 2pm-4pm schedule! No need to eat lunch eh? Look at Monday, Organic Chem lab is from 11am - 2pm, followed immediately by Biochem lab from 2pm - 6pm. Haiz, I shall faint in the lab.

Another problem that comes with such a packed timetable is that I would have very limited choices of GEMs or Breadths that actually fit my schedule. Hopefully I'm lucky and some module that I'm interested in would fit my timetable. I'm going to be a very tired girl, no more dressing up for school (guess the hype is gone after Year 1), no more meeting Tian on weekdays I foresee (sighhh..this is miserable) and I guess I really should not commit to any more tuition assignments. I know peers who have 4 tuition assignments and I was so tempted to take in a 4th student (JC..good pay..and it's Physics and Maths, both I just did last year so I think I should be fine teaching these subjects), thinking that if they can cope, so can I. In the end I doubted my ability and also considered my other commitments to dance, squash, boyfriend and family, I let it go.

I really don't know if I hate school or love school now. Timetable's very dreadful but I can't wait to get down to it, faster finish off this sem with a good CAP and see if I am still young and pretty after going through this painful process haha. And I'm getting bored of work so I can't wait for my last day this Friday, after which I can afford to sleep till 1pm everyday again and perhaps head down to Sentosa a few times.

Semester 3 goals:
1. Wake up punctually for school at 8am EVERYDAY and no cab rides are allowed because they're so expensive now and I'm poor. (wah die..)
2. Try to do 6 modules and pull CAP up to 4.2.
3. Save money
4. Get an internship during the December holidays

That should be it for now, and I should really get started on organic chem revision. Rule No. 1 - stop being lazy!
