i'm starting to get used to the early mornings. it's actually quite pleasant to be in school so early, if only for the relative quiet and calm. the only downside is it really tiring, especially when i've not gotten use to this new cycle.

this sem i'm actually quite positive about my modules and the lecturers. the two psych lecturers are adequate - one who's german so, as shi wen pointed out, sounds a bit like heidi klum but is really quite a good lecturer; the other has this accent i absolutely love listening to, oddly enough. i don't particularly like either modules but they are bearable.

my maths of games lecturer is well - tacky. haha he comes from hongkong and i can't stand his accent or his fashion sense or his tendency to harp on unimportant matters e.g. making us watch the entire movie 21 (tho i didn't particularly mind it, it was a bit retarded to wake up at unearthly hours to travel all the way to school TWICE for something i could have just watched at home) or discussing in depth the plot of the movie when the main related point was the part about counting cards. i do like the module though, because it's quite facinating, so i am tolerant to him and the fact tha this module has seriously screwed up my timetable.

new media writing is another module that i really like. the lecturer is quite annoying but the good news is it wont be her anymore and the upcoming lecturers seem much better. and finally, the mental health module is possibly my favourite module so far. only because i love the lecturer. this is only the second time i've felt that psychology was more than just stupid experiments or ridiculous theories. i really like it when a lecturer brings to the table experience and real-life applications for what we learn. ironically enough, this is not a psychology module.

that said, i hope this sem turns out to be a good one. still cannot decide with absolute certainty if i should continue studying after this semester. i know it's good for me and blahblahblah but the interest is really not there and i'm really getting sick of studying and worrying about the oh so NOT important thing called grades.
