Hi! I can confirm that MAF is on 7 Oct. I just checked my sis's student handbook:)
I agree with jy and py. Being in university really makes me miss hwa chong and the class immensely. In Arts too, the people often tend to stay in cliques and there is NO incentive at all to talk to people that you don't know in your lecture or tutorial group. this is especially for huge faculties like Arts. After all, you might not see the same people in the next semester.
So it is kind of sad because I often go for lessons alone. Everyone you know is taking different modules. Even if they take some similar modules, the timetables just don't coordinate. Thus, it is impossible to take the same tutorial or lecture timeslots with your friends. The good thing is that it trains me to be more independent; the bad thing is that you will probably graduate from university without making many new good friends.
Contrastingly, because USP is such a small group of people, I know more people in USP and have made more friends in USP than in Arts. Mainly it is because there is higher probability that you will see familiar faces in the next and following semesters.
Today, for the first time in weeks, excluding the day when we surprised xx, I finally met xx in school! I met her in the canteen, where I was having lunch with alexis and eugenia.
And regarding the academic paper for japanese studies, I really think my group members are from pluto, not mars anymore. They say that they are going to do research by searching the Internet. But the rules given by the department clearly states that Internet stuff are generally not accepted because they are not academic sources. Are they insane or do they have selective memore??? I'd rather do project work with Sherman and William!!! Make it 10 projects with Sherman and William.
eugene - why are you dreading the training in taiwan?? See it as a different experience. Some guys in my USP classes say that when they were in NS, they wished they were in university. Now that they are in university, they hope that they were back in NS. One said that it was as if
he is now going to hell in a fruit basket:)
