i'm finding uni definitely more fast-paced and hectic 'cause i've always been a last minute procrastinator. all through pri sch till jc, i've always studied for texts and exams last minute. daily revision isn't my style so most of the term, i'm quite free with the exception of homework and common test and exam periods. now it's a different ball game altogether 'cause uni requires us to read before lessons every week (sth that i've never done. i've never revised after lessons, much less before). the readings aren't really light considering that each chapter is like 20+ pages long and some aren't that easy to comprehend or are quite dry.

the positive thing about this week was that my attention span lasted way longer than during last week's lessons. for most classes, like biz law, it lasted the whole 3 hours! definite improvement from last week which is awesome. hopefully this continues throughout the term! 

anna's farewell was on sat night and i must say, it was easily the most cheerful farewell i've ever seen at changi. her church group was even doing cheers there and hardly anyone was teary. once again, photos are on my com and i haven't uploaded them 'cause i don't have enough to form an album. perhaps when i've more. hope she's having fun touring washington! i wanna go traveling too. i'm not sure if i should join the work&travel usa programme that smu is offering. it's rather tempting that you get to tour and travel around usa after your work. imagine all the great shopping bargains and fascinating places you can visit. in addition, some jobs are at theme parks and i absolutely adore theme parks. i told my mum i wanted to work at a theme park (please not escape though!) in the future and she said i could have started working after crescent, no need for me to continue my jc and tertiary education ): i still think it'll be quite fun and exciting to coordinate events at theme parks, say the new universal studios in s'pore. anyways about the work&travel, what's holding me back is the cost, estimated total is around 3k+, possibly 4k! one guy who went to grandcanyon to work last year managed to cover all his costs except for airfare which was 1.2k. another thing is that the minimum work period is 2 months and taking into account the travelling time, i'll be away for 2 and a half months at the least. i'll definitely be homesick and miss everyone back at home ):
