first day of school

After a very long anxious post of how bad my school could be, it turned out: not that bad! :)

Let me tell you why. Check out my pendrive given by our department.

How can one still feel bad after receiving a personalized (in a small sealed bag with my name on it) pendrive with the above words engraved onto it?

Classy, isn't it???!!!

I'm BAD!! Very bad!! :P But I just can't stop looking at it and be so excited about it! It is glamorous. Some of these are good, to help our way through this lengthy 5-year program. (Remember I said I don't take photos, here you go. My first photo taken is this nice cute little pendrive!) n_n

So yeah! I'm happy with my first day of class. Glad to be back into the academic world after some months of break. Though still found myself dozing a little (just a little) in the class, as usual. I need to greatly improve my extremely short attention spam and energy level.

It was just a 1.15 hr. class!!! But I was checking on my watch if I could get a short break in between. YCT YCT... I seriously wonder how did I survive classes all these years! Very disrespectful, but I just can't help it! And I'm strongly oppose of caffeine in my body, unless extremely necessary.

Please do allow me to brag a little more.... Thanks!

The Prof. in my second class looks/sounds familiar to me until I finally realized that she's the author of our textbooks for the class!! I hope she doesn't fail me for not noticing these earlier - 1) not remembering course instructor's name and 2) not aware what book I'm getting. Also, I think I might have seen her in one of our APA therapy session videos in class back at HELP. By the way, she'll also be my mentor!!

So... Make me even happier to be here in this place, in this program, with these faculty and coursemates!

I really shouldn't be so realistic, should I? Don't kick me!

Anyways, below is the nice view outside of our dorm window. Yes, our. I have a room mate, remember? We get along pretty well. At least that's how I feel it. I'm not sure how you would feel when your room mate sleeps early most of the nights when you were just about to shower or to blow your hair. :) Not sure if I still get to sleep this early when the rock n' roll begins!

It's a small park in the center of my dorm - Wallwork Hall. About 12 minutes walk to my department building and this is really awesome especially when you hear your coursemates discussing about parking issues. *evil grin* Cheaper rent off-campus but with some extra hassles to bother about. I'm still considering between on- and off- campus housing though.

So I can cook R-I-C-E. I had 2 slices of pizza for lunch and I still feel full. I think I'm going to lose weight here.

I gained weight in Bemidji in the very first semester. Mostly thank to YJi for feeding us like a PIG with rice. I'm very grateful of that! The rice part. :)
