New term, New goals, New problems
SMU is becoming very very crowded due to the new intake of 1300 freshmen. This is crazy and totally overwhelming. Keep bumping into people at every corner of the school. This is bad. Even the classes are packed. It is a sign that I am gonna have a hard time this Semester. It was buzzing with noise almost everywhere. It is just like a fish market. It is a good sign tht people are flicking to SMU. But it is definitely gonna decrease the comfort level of current student. Have to wait longer for lift, food, toilet, gym, etc. Irritating.
More people also means more foreign student. Arrgghh. This is bad. I could see all types of people from different nationalities during lunch today. The good thing is that there are 60 Indonesian Freshmen. The bad thing is when these foreigners are in a world of their own and refused to socialize.
Started the term on the wrong foot. How the hell did I bid for Political Philosophy. It is the most crap subject ever for me. I could not understand a single thing the Professor is talking about. He is a damn good Prof, but when started talking about Alexander the great, Ptah and old Testament, he started to sound Greek to me. I thought Political Philosophy class will be talking about current politics situation, but in the end it becomes like history. I wonder why people become philosopher. The main reason that I could think of is that they are born to be one. There is no way that they could develop interest in it. Imagine having to listen to the “does god exist argument” non-stop. But there is a good quote that I got from the class.
“Since everyone say God is Omni-potent or almighty, Can god build a stone so heavy that he can’t carry? If he can’t create it then he is not almighty. But if he can create it but he can’t carry it, then he is also not almighty. Both ways point to god not being almighty” Anyway guys
don’t be offended by this. This was brought up during philosophy. Imagine having to endure this kind of philosophical argument. Tough life. I’d rather be in Business. =p
This Semester I must really prioritize and of course school is number 1. I need to pick up my lousy grades and kick my own ass up. No more crazy and whacky CCAs. I just need my As. Trying to get As for all subject. So at least can pick up my mark to a decent level. Anyway Vegustian is on local exchange to SMU. Haven’t got the chance to ask him how he found SMU, especially after attending his first 2 lessons. So my plan for this sem is to mug, mug, and mug. Fullstop.
And everything is damn slow nowadays. Even the school network is becoming very laggy. Twice as slow compared to usual speed. Slowpoke.
