*459 - summary of my school life!

School life is definitely not as bad as I made it out to be initially. I think it was just the first week or so haha. It's going to get worse, I know (MY PRELIMS START NEXT WEEK OMG OMG) but for now I'm slowly easing myself into academic life again. It's not awesome but it's not all bad either.

Managerial communication has been great actually, despite the "OMG YOU HAVE PROF SNOW I'M SO SORRY FOR YOU" scare, and although I'm not a good writer I'm doing decently well. That is, relative to the scores he normally gives for the first few assignments (typically D's and C's I hear). Hahaha.

Plus, he brings us donuts and apples for breakfast on Monday mornings ;)



Business computing has been alright I guess, I don't like learning about bits and bytes and CPUs and the nitty gritties in using Word or Excel (there's so much more to it than you can imagine) but heck, I'll survive. Spent the entire day yesterday sulking over the B that I got on my first assignment though, I GOT B OMG EW, but that was good in a way because I was so disgusted with myself that I zoomed back to the library after dinner and studied (well, about half the time maybe) until about midnight haha.



The above picture sums up what Raina and I think of Organisational Behaviour. I mean, the fact that we were taking photos smack in the MIDDLE of class shows something hahaha. Well it's not too bad though cos it's a lot of common sense and group projects, rather than plain mugging.



This next picture also sums up the extent of my boredom during Human Development lectures (my distributive elective). Doodle doodle. The subject itself is intriguing and I must confess that I actually do enjoy all the video clips she shows us of cute babies doing a variety of things, but the prof is just ... b o r i n g.

Microeconomics in the Service Industry is fun because the prof is hilarious. (And I think I kinda like economics.) The prof brings beer (Guinness is his downfall) into every single example, and all his little jokes that he embeds into his speech so discretely that if you aren't listening carefully you probably won't realize exist crack me up so bad just that no one really laughs out loud so I have to snigger silently to myself every time and this sentence needs a few commas,,,,.


(Inshita, Chae, Raina)

And then there's the Dean's Lecture every Friday, for which we have to dress up in business wear and listen to industry leaders talk about their experiences. It's usually pretty fascinating and it makes me wonder if I'll ever work my way up there like all these Hotelie graduates (who were once sitting in my seat) did. And they serve coffee and cake after that ;)



And lastly there's Raina and I'm so glad that I have a friend like her (: I also think that Statler's really pretty, and has good food, which is fortunate because I'm going to be spending the next few years in it heh.

Ok THE WEEKEND IS HERE AT LAST and I should not be sitting in front of my computer any longer :D
