First Day Of School
I'll have my first lecture for the year in few hour's time. After days of lepak-king, I'm actually looking forward to attending classes! I just hope the Econometrics lecturer doesn't kill my interest in this subject! Apprently, there'll be a new lecturer for this module. Hmm.. hopefully he's cute! =P If he's foreign, I pray that I understand his accent!
I went to bed early last night. Knocked off around 12.30am. I feel like a little girl who goes to bed early a night before the first day of school. When I tucked in bed, I was thinking about the stationery I'm suppose to bring for class, what clothes to wear, and maybe, a chance to meet new friends!
On the first day of school when I was still in secondary school, bringing loads of tissue papers to class is a must- to wipe off the dusty tables and chairs. My mom normally sent us off early to school in order to avoid the horrendous traffic jam. Another benefit of going to school early was to chop or book seats. If you're early, you get the better seat. I liked and still like the first day of school. There's always so much to look forward to. It was nice to catch up with friends, listening to their holiday escapades or how boring their holidays were. The class teacher would come to class after singing the national anthem and school anthem. S/he would then take out attendence, followed by announcing who would be the class monitor, assistant class monitor and treasurer. There wasn't anything much to do on the first day of school. Teachers came into class to get to know students and vice versa.
Text books! Ah... they are expensive, aren't they? I used to get them from my cousins because the syllabus was pretty much the same. That saved me loads of money. Now that I'm in university, I have to buy new text books if they are not available in the library or there are only a few copies in the library. The average price of a text book is £30. Ouch! I'll be grinning if it costs around £15-20!
Final semester in the university. Can't believe how time flies. It seems like yesterday when I first set my feet on this foreign land, and now.. I'm leaving in a few months time. As much as I'm starting to feel bored with this place, I know I'll miss this place dearly. After all, it's the place which taught me to be independent, to grow up as a lady.
