CityU.

I’m officially a postgraduate student at City University of Hong Kong!

My student pass – as usual the pictures on my documents are never nice.

For the next 2 years (or one and a half, or two and a half, depending on how quickly/slowly I would want to do my course) I will be able to immerse myself in a study environment again, and hopefully I will get to learn more interesting stuffs, meet more interesting people (as in more of the interesting people, not implying that the people I have met so far are boring), and enjoy the whole studying process. Like I said before, I think I really enjoy studying and learning. Too bad my undergraduate results were crap, otherwise I probably would be studying towards a research degree now. But I’m sure if I do my this coursework degree well enough, there will still be opportunities for me to move into the research field – if I feel that I still am keen for that – in the future.

Yesterday was the first day of the priority intake for the new academic year and it was generally catered for our own students. Not many turned up for my department’s courses – I only saw 2 of my own students. Apparently they want to study something else, which is fine because we should all study whatever we are interested in. Though it would be kinda sad that I might not get to see some of them again in my college (that is if i get to stay after my current contract runs out, and that is not looking optimistic to be absolutely honest). I wish them all their best.

Today might be kind of a boring day because there really isn’t much for me to do. Maybe I’ll do some readings and see what kind of progress there is for the college’s research centre, which apparently partially funds my pay.

Would be heading to Taipei tonight with my sis. I’m definitely looking forward to it, but it’s nothing like my sis, who is absolutely excited about the trip. Probably because it’s her first time ever to Taiwan that’s why she’s finding it so exciting. Let’s hope everything will turn out to be great.
