Was just fine.
Not awesome but just fine.
and I guess "fine" is good enough.
Really glad I had my friends to keep me company on my first day of school - met Hazey and Daphne for breakfast+lunch before our first lecture. Kelz joined us halfway because she ended hers but we were about to leave for ours. Math lecture was... nothing much, just the introduction to the topic and some admin stuff. The girl who sat in front of me copied EVERY. SINGLE. THING. the lecturer said when it was already printed on the paper. She copied the random examples he put on his slides - "something for us to think about" before we start our lesson officially. She copied just everything he said and her paper was filled with math-related scribbling and already quite crumpled when the lecturer haven't even start teaching. (I didn't even take out my pen)
then after math lecture, I had 4 hours of break. Went out of school to chill at Starbucks because I really didn't know where I should go, with 4 hours in NUS........................? nah. Spent maybe 1 hour ++ at Clementi then went back to NUS to meet Karine for her "tea-time break" before heading to Psych. lecture.
The school's really huge and I got lost a few times. I didn't know which bus to take, where I should take from, where the LT was, how to get to a particular fac etc. I approached this girl when I was on the bus (From Clementi back to NUS) and asked her how to get to Utown. I knew there was a bus but I just don't know how their shuttle bus system works and the shuttle buses are always full, which is annoying because it makes the bus ride pretty uncomfortable. The girl (a year 2 senior) was really nice and she waited for me to board the bus before leaving for her lecture. I remember asking her this really dumb question though "Do you have to press the bell before you alight (when you're on a shuttle bus)?"
Anyway, just in case anyone wonders - Yes, you have to press the bell HAHA
I didn't know because I thought the bus stops at every single bus stop.
Well, so I learnt something.
Karine and I were late for Psych. lecture because we thought the bus service was a loop one, until the bus driver told us we had to get off. Actually I don't quite understand, it was a loop service what.. We waited at the terminal for awhile then boarded that same bus (I think the bus driver was also that same uncle) and it took the route from the terminal to the first stop. So since it travels from the first stop to the terminal then on to the first stop again, isn't it a loop? What's with that few minutes break at the terminal ?
I learnt quite a lot of stuff today - like where LT32 (Math lecture) is, where YIH is, how to get to school, how to travel to FASS, where to take the bus if I want to go back to NUS from Clementi (from the Clementi interchange. I thought it was the opposite side of Clementi mall..)
Perhaps the stuff I learnt seem "duh~" to most people HAHAHA But, for someone who barely spent time in NUS.. I think its not too bad already. I need to look for LT25(?) for Calculus lecture tomorrow. Shouldn't be too much of a problem. Then I'll probably go for PRE-UNI check up after my lecture (because my menses really screwed up this two months).
Looking forward to learning something cool at Calculus lecture ^^ I think we're going to learn about Functions (actually, I dislike that chapter).
