My room:
Damn stressed pls. Exam week but haven’t studied for anything (and I have 2 out of 6 papers down already) cause dont need to study. I already pass. I could have skipped the whole exams and left for my tour around US 2 freaking weeks ago. But no. I can’t. Cause there’re 2 mods that are 30% so I only have 59.1 marks. Which is a fail, cause passing here is 60. So what do I do? Go for the paper and try to score 3 marks, out of the 100, so that would be 0.09% and I can pass so It will map back to NTU. But no. Singaporean in me didn’t allow that. Had to complete the paper and I guarantee I have 70 marks. AT LEAST. It’s so weird that all I need to do is pass here, but I keep trying to score As effortlessly (cause I NEVER score As and I need to boost my poor beat up battered ego). And I didn’t even study for that guaranteed-70-marks paper k. another 2 more papers tomorrow, and I’m not intending to study either. Busy packing. LOOK AT MY ROOM. Look at that picture. How to study and risk not bring able to leave by the 7th.
So today I had another paper, and my prof talked to us individually after the paper. (note. Paper started at 3. First person finished at 3.20. I finished at 3.30) for once in my freaking life I get to be “the ah tiong”. The first few to finish the paper and leave early. So my prof asked if I was gonna be here for summer school and if I would be here in fall cause he wants me to take his classes. He absolutely adores me, I tell you. How to not. Im one of his best student. And it’s a writing class. Meaning not much studying, but more practical news writing. It’s a news writing class. Comms. So he says I have a better writing style and better grammar than the other students and wonders if it’s because of the way they teach in SG. “you write better than any of the students in there (points).” I felt so so so sorry telling him I was an exchange student and am only gonna be there that sem. He’s my fav teacher from now on man. I haven’t been teacher’s pet since.. Forever. (I tried to think if I was in kindergarten but apparently not) so yes. Let his praises get in my head people. It’s rare.
On the other hand, I’m sure my Irish lit prof could not be any happier to get rid of me. I uphold the goals and values of an exchange student man. Skip all classes (and I was about to auto fail the class due to lack of attendance). I’m only allowed to continue the class cause my written work convinces the dean or whoever that I could continue. :/
Hmm. So 4 more papers. 2 each day tomorrow and the day after, and I’m done. For once not exclaiming that I’m done cause I’m gonna freaking miss TCU. I could have graduated w first class honors here effortlessly. If only I were a perm student. Sigh. But 3 more days and I’m off to Seattle! Then Portland, Oregon, then San Francisco, california (the one I’m most hyped up about), then meeting my cousin and bf in grand canyon, then las Vegas, and lastly LA (only excited about the theme parks, but San Fran still wins on the excitement scale), then flying off to Washington DC, and then New York (the only reason why my sis is here). And then home sweet home. Mixed feelings here. No comments. Wanna go back and really dont wanna go back. But then I’ll be back in sg for about 3 weeks and then I’m flying off to Korea (!!!) for summer school! So. I’m gonna get as much radiation flying around as the Japan people.
And I’m stressed. Very. A lot of things not booked yet, a lot of hostel stuff to settle, and still gotta pack my luggage and pack the stuff I wanna ship back and wah lau. Do you know how taxing/vexing it is to plan a trip, let alone plan so many trips to so many freaking places?! Oh and on a side note, it’s exam week. Yah not like it matters to me but wah. If I were an international permanent student here I wouldn’t like my life now. All these nonsense to settle and yet need to study for exams. Unlike Ntu, when exams end, you have 24 hours to move out. A bit fast ah.
Yah. Still cannot fit inside one box and that big box still cannot close. Should I throw my boots away or ship back. Or bring around. Kinda din deh and it has heels all. So take up weight nevermind, take up space also. A lot. Of space.
Don’t you just wish that you could move to TCU?? It’s so damn hard to score in NTU and it seems easy to score in every other university outside Singapore…. :/
Anyway,, where did u go in NY??
