Start of the semester

So, the semester starts, whether I wanted it or not. 

My timetable is pretty good yet bad at the same time. I have a three-day week on odd weeks and four-day week on even weeks so that's great. On the other hand, I have to endure the morning rush-hour for my 10am classes and evening rush-hour after my 6pm lectures. Each trip home is horrible and sometimes, suffocating. Of course, when people are pushing and shoving, tempers are bound to rise.

I especially like the fact that weekends come early because I'm free on Fridays. Last Friday, it was shopping with my mother at Orchard in preparation for the upcoming Lunar New Year. It was a fun day which I haven't had in ages. Shopping on weekdays has its peaks, two of which are the staff being more attentive to one needs and the fitting rooms being relatively free. 

Speaking of Lunar New Year, it is less than a month away! I'm already in the festive mood or should I say, I've never got over the "festive hangover" from Christmas last year. I am feeling rather positive and as always, a hint of nostalgia as we all aged one year.
