1st week of lessons

Mon:
We only need to attend lectures and communication skills lessons for the 1st week. I met up with some friends before going to campus. There were so many students, seeing as the term had started. The lesson was quite boring and the room was cold. It lasted 2 hours in the afternoon.
Tues:
2 hours of lecture on Micro Economics. We had to take notes about it. It was a bit like social studies and geography mixed. Many people complained about it being boring.
Wed:
1 hour of computer system and applications. Wasted my money by going to and fro just for that 1 hour of lecture. It was alright. Textbooks were expensive.
Thurs:
Another 2 hours of Comm skills in the morning. The teacher just go on and on about writing styles and all that. My classmates were passing notes around saying that he was so boring.
Fri:
After Accounting lecture, there was a 3 hours break. We, as a whole class, went to the IT school to eat lunch. After that, we went SAFRA to play pool. Only 4 girls are playing, including me. I'm not good in it, haha. No strength at all. Speaking of strength, I wanted to join bowling as CCA but they are conducting trials. The point is, I'm really bad in it. I'm sure I will not be accepted...Sighs.
I just want to have fun in a CCA without having to take part in tournaments.
It's Principles of Management next. Everybody were complaining by now, some wanted to skip it.
There's still a long~ way to go...

Business school orientation

Ok, the home computer was finally spoilt... And since my father do not want to send it for repair, I can't go online... I'm using my father's laptop to do this.
I shall only briefly talked about the business school orientation on the 17th and 18th.
All business school freshmen assembled at the convention centre for briefing. Business studies grouping (BSG) has the most number of people in it. Furthermore, business school has the largest quantity of students. We were seated according to our classes. There were 25 students in my class.
People in the BSG were liked 'stoned". They don't reply to cheers or anything. There were some some exceptions though. After that, we learnt more about our classmates and had lunch. We then proceeded to the very warm sports complex to learn mass dance, hand-sign song and school song. Since I already knew the steps quite well during the freshmen orientation, I led my 'dance partner'.
2nd day:
We needed to be early today. We were meeting our care person who is like our form teacher. He seems like a boring person.
In the afternoon, there's the Olympia and regetta to look forward to. To prevent us from running away, our matric cards were collected. Both events were competed between schools. Business school has been winning for 3 years straight. As the SLs were telling us, we must win the 4th time.
Business school has so many people, we must all squeeze into that small area provided for us in the stadium. It was hot. Some people ran away. The Olympia was quite good, even if we didn't win 1st for some events, there were 2nds and 3rds. We cheered so loudly.
After that, we went to Bedok reservoir for the dragon boats races. Business school won quite a few rounds. Business school won the overall championship, for the 4th time.
