mmm...if you could see me now, you'd see a small smile on my face...coz i realized that as i look back at my week, it's been great! haha i know i sound like i'm totally contradicting myself since the last few posts have been about how things have been pretty rough. but as horrible sounding as the past week has been, when i look back at it, i realize that it's exactly all that has happened in school this week that's gonna make me miss it. it's had all the right components!let me explain...i've had 3 classes this week (yes, one more than usual coz my lecturer is due to deliver in april so she's crammed her last 2 classes into these 2 weeks) and i've enjoyed them all. they've been mentally stimulating and i've been engaged and i've come out feeling like those 3 hours weren't 3 hours long at all. so that's been great. i've long complained about being understimulated in class but i'm finally being pushed to learn in areas somewhat outside my comfort zone but that still interest me, unlike ridiculousclasses which have absolutely no relevance to life like "Why calculus?" which leave me at the end of the semester bitter and much pained and still going, so why calculus?! and then of course what's school without the bazaar rite? haha so i got yet another fabulous deal on a bag which i'm mighty pleased about! that's probably the highlight of the week. : ) i think i shall add to my list "ample shopping and good deals within walking distance of my office" when i start job-searching. haha but really, walking into school and seeing no bazaar saddens me. it means there's nothing to look forward to after class! or after a looong project meeting! or after the lib! but walking into school and seeing the stalls being set up places a little hope and healthy expectation in me. hahahaoh, and i've the absolute best project groups! my poverty group is amazingly efficient and high calibre and for once, i feel entirely comfortable leaving the editing and finishing touches to my groupmates. and my welfare group of course, needless to say, are God's gifts to me. they're my spiritual support, social support, emotional support and hiyah...too much u can ask for in a group. hahaand the lecturers....they make all the difference to my academic life. honours yr is so different coz you're on such a different level with them...you walk in anytime and they're there willing to put aside what they're doing to talk to you, ask you how you are, and offer you what you went to them for and more. they're brilliant at what they do yet they're so entirely approachable about everything and anything.oh! and the thinking corner, this new cafe at LKY, is now open! haha ok random point but it made me day today! got a greeeaat cuppa coffee during my break. the vanilla latte was wonderful. haha when i brought it back to class and took my first sip of it, i instinctively smiled to myself and let out a sigh of contentment and said to myself "ah...life." haha and dhoby happened to hear me so he turned and looked at me and said in semi-shock "wow...that was a profound statement!" hahaha and i said "huh...? or a deeply superficial one" haha that was one of those ad-worthy moments i tell you. it was hilarious. but man the powers of a good cup of coffee. haha i'm so easy to please it's crazy.yeah...so snippets of my week...haha which yes, exclude the work and all...but which capture the essence of what's been the best of it. and finally, in my final sem, i can say i love school. it's finally got all the right components - i love the mental challenge, i love being pushed, i love the flexbility of time, i love the people i have around me, and i love the facilities in school (ok, just the shopping and the good coffee). but i hate the fact that it's almost over. haha oh well...guess i'll just have to savour the last two weeks of this. i hope they're as good!
and eunice ends here :
