1.2 Day 2

Today was a day with some unexpected events. I arrived in school at 7.20am again today. At 8.15am, there was a briefing on the workshops and equipment,followed by a video screening, before we were split into 8 different groups, where everyone was grouped by name in alphabetical order. We were free to go at 10am after touring the facilities. We decided to go to West Mall to watch the House Bunny, before going for lunch at Burger King at 12.45pm.

Went back to school again at 1.20pm. We split up at 1.50pm to go to our respective classes to attend our elective modules. The class was broken into 4 groups; Workplace Safety, Project Management, Advanced Engineering Mathematics and Economics. I'm the only one in the class taking Economics. Anyways, I did not fall asleep during the lesson, but the lesson sure wasn't easy. At 4.30pm, we were dismissed, and I went straight home after that. Back home later this evening, I had a hard time trying to revise the things learnt today for the module. In fact, I had to put in 3 times the usual amount of effort I used for revision during the exam period, just to fully comprehend the introduction chapter alone. It almost seems like an accomplishment, but I have yet to go into the second chapter.

Since there was a lot of time after reaching home, I decided to go for a run later on at 5.20pm. Today I did not train so much on speed, but more on stamina, thus it took me 25 minutes to complete the run itself. Tomorrow, if there's time, I would be going for another run again, this time training a little more on speed.

It took me some time to realise that Deepavali falls on Monday, the 27Th of this month. I thought it was on a Tuesday all the while. The thing is, I'm planning for a celebration together with a few friends, however, there is hardly a day where everyone, or most of us might be able to meet. I'm finding myself walking into dead ends almost every time I make a turn into a corner. There should be a day where most of us can make it right?? It feels as though we're so close to making it, but there's still more things to get done before we're there. I dislike the idea of abandoning plans that have been prepared to thoroughly. Anyway, like always, if we can't settle on a final decision soon enough, the same thing's going to happen again, and it's going to be another wasted effort. Damn. I just hope that December could come soon, so that we can be sure that there would be a gathering.

Preview for tomorrow, I finally get to meet my Adviser for this semester, have the first joint lecture with the other class we were with last semester, and also, Engineering Math 2 and perhaps some Chemistry again, after 8 months.
