First Week Back

Hey people!

Wow been awhile since I posted, but I'll try to update it as soon as I can. Been too busy with too much work... Anyways, the new semester had officially started last week on Monday, and it couldn't have been sooner. I miss hanging out with everyone a lot! I especially miss the "pasar malam" noise that we can always hear in the CAE Office every morning.

I quite like my schedule for this semester since I'm only taking 3 subjects. But 1 of it is quite tough, which is ENL 102 (English Composition II). We already had to start working on our final project in the first week and hand in the idea this Thursday, which I still have no clue what I should choose as a topic.

It's still weird not seeing a lot of familiar faces in the CAE Office anymore, but life goes on as I'm slowly getting used to it.

The first few days were quite fun, and suddenly the sluggish feeling of wishing for an extended holiday came back. But so far it's all good. I really like learning SOC 103 (Sociology) right now as it's a really fun and interesting subject, and Ms. Lim makes it even more fun to learn.

ED Board work seems to be piling up with each day, and there has been so much that's been going on that's making it feel so stressful that I just want to quit (Don't worry, I won't). I still haven't finish editing my own article let alone the other writer's articles. And I still need to plan out the general ED Meet meeting for next week, and keep myself updated with the Bake Sale and Writing competition that we will be hosting next month. Thankfully I have a good bunch of slaves... I mean diligent co-workers to work with.

I'm already starting my application for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. I'm almost done with it I guess, just need to get the bank statement from my parents which they said to wait until next month, and to take my TOEFL test on March. I'm going to apply to only 1 university I think as the deadline for most of the other universities are at the beginning of March, which means I can't even apply because I don't have my TOEFL test results yet. The earliest I got for the TOEFL test in Subang Jaya was on the 13th of March. Thank goodness the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire accepts pending TOEFL results when you apply for the university, or I wouldn't have made it in time for the scholarship application. Hopefully everything goes well and I get accepted or else I'm screwed.

I've been working a lot in the Marketing Office last month, and I'm still helping out during the weekends this month for education fairs and stuff like that. Hopefully I could earn some money in my bank account instead of leaving it empty like any other day before. After paying for the registration cost of my TOEFL exam, my current balance is almost 0. Spent too much before, pay the price I guess.

The past year was full of sweet and bitter memories... Hopefully this year would be better than the last. Time to get back to work I guess... See ya people!
