Status update. End of week 2 of school.. and my timetable and modules are still not confirmed! Yes it's bad. I have been attending more lectures than I should be attending over the course of the week. Haha. Yes and I'm prepared to take 7 modules this semester, if I want to avoid the "W" grade in my transcript. So irritating lah. The faculty is still deciding whether or not to allow me to do CN2122 without MA1505 and MA1506. Initially, I asked my mentor and he said he couldn't allow me to do that as there are too many pre-requisites that have not been satisfied. Then Jiashen and I appealed, and the ChBE department said they will go with my mentor's decision. And so I chose to respect the department's decision. Then suddenly this week, Prof Quek told me that he's in the midst of asking the Dean of Engineering to specially exempt us from the pre-requisites and that we read up the necessary Math ourselves to make up for it. I was like "?!" Coz I have already taken up 6 modules this semester and I have never ever embraced the idea of taking up 7 modules. Oh well, Prof Quek said that the Dean gave him a verbal agreement. But since there's no black and white yet, he asked us not to do anything first, just crash the lectures. So there we went, crashing CN2122 lectures and in the process missing my GEK1527 lecture. So if I were to take up CN2122 I would probably drop GEK1527. All still tentative at the moment.
Ok so lectures this week has been decent. Econs is as per normal crappy. But I'm loving Thermodynamics more and more already! So exciting isn't it! Haha. Sounds psychotic but yes I'm beginning to really appreciate the concepts. So far it's a recap of what I've learnt in Physical Chemistry and CN1111. But the beauty of it is I don't see any meaning in those concepts when I was studying for my APC's, but now I see the light (ok, just a bit of it). Haha. Tutorials are tough, but at least I can start and figure something out so it's fine. Haha. Fluid mechanics is also pretty ok. Other than the extensive use of Math, and rather skimpy lecture notes, it's good. =D Ok tutorials start next week so I've gotta use this weekend to rush out all of it. Beware, university's tutorials are so deceiving. They only give like 5 questions per tutorial, but it will probably suck all the free time you have. Haha. Damn irritating. But the satisfaction gained from completing (or rather, attempting them=X) is amazing. Haha. The upcoming week will be not as relaxed, with the all the tutorial sessions. But oh well, embrace university life. =D
Oh just on a side note, it's the first time I have ever ponned classes in my life! LOL! I skipped half of Econs lecture on Tuesday to have dinner (but more importantly, the lecture was too much a turn-off), and I skipped GEK1527 lecture for CN2122 lecture yesterday. And in the midst of typing this, I skipped MA1505 make-up lecture. Awesome. I have never done it before, and now I have done it thrice in a single week! Haha! University teaches you this stuff. Bad influence. Haha.=D
