Wednesday.

As usual I enjoyed my Understanding Careers class tremendously. The problem was that Jerry and co had such a great presentation today and that was definitely going to be very pressurising for the rest of the class, and possibly more because my group is the last group that’s doing the presentation! I think everybody had fun today and I must applaud Jerry and co for such a wonderfully done job, though I probably still am going to murder them for spoiling the market so big time! The great thing about this Understanding Careers class is that, in my opinion, quite a few of us are the rather crappy type of people who would rather have fun in class than to sit around and be obedient. I mean at least I am one of the “troublemakers” in class, and I would like to believe that I’m not alone there. But shouldn’t classes be conducted in such an interesting manner? That makes the class more fun and I think a fun learning environment is one that we can learn better.

Had a mid-day coffee date at the Spinelli at the spanking new university hall with Sarah and as usual I’m complaining a lot of things to her. Being the elder sister that she is to me, she always is someone who’s very willing to listen to me moan. It’s like nothing about me can escape her. She knows what I’m having on my mind, and she gives very good advice and opinions to me. Of course if I need a kick up my butt she certainly won’t stand on ceremony! I’m grateful that no matter what happens, I have someone like her who will listen to me moan. Things have not been the easiest for me since coming back from Shanghai, and there are a lot of things that are on my mind. But whenever I talk to Sarah I always get a peace of mind.

Had lunch with Yung Shin before going back to Computing for a project discussion. The discussion was rather interesting, and I suddenly find that after one year in China, I can communicate much better with my Chinese friends in school! Some of them even affectionately call me 学长 and while I definitely enjoyed that, I take it with a pinch of sadness because I just feel so old!

Subsequently went to sit around in the Computing Club office and did a lot of 思想工作 on the few of my juniors who are very reluctant to go for the SOC Bash. In the end I think I must have talked for almost 2 hours trying to sell 3 tickets. Definitely not the most successful marketing job that I’ve ever done before. But whatever it is, if anyone of you who is still having uncertainties about going for the SOC bash, I would like to have coffee with you, especially if you are from SOC!

Have been waking up too early for the past few days, and I need sleep desperately. But with such a nice day today, I think I definitely can sleep well today. See you guys tomorrow.
