First day of sch!

Woke up at 10 plus today and realised tat today was the first day of sch!! Quite relaxed in a way cos my one and onli lecture for the day starts at 3.30pm... Anyway I left my hse at 11 plus cos I intended to reach early to get my Hall keys and do abit of exploring :)

While on the train, I reli thank God tat I printed out my Econs notes as I was able to not waste the 1-hr train journey by reading thru and trying very hard to understand Chapter 1... It was a total of 66 slides and to cover it in a 2-hr lecture would mean tat we can onli allow less than 2 mins for each slide =/ It seemed as if we would have to go at a scarily fast pace... Nonetheless, I juz scanned thru every single slide and tried to make sense of Supply and Demand Curves and the ways tat they can shift, be it onli either one of them shifted or both shifted... Tat took me all the way till Jurong East, so at least much of the journey wasnt wasted in that sense...

I took 199, alighted at my Hall, got the keys and headed to my rm... I realised tat there was quite abit of cleaning up to do for my side of the rm, but I wasnt reli in the appropriate attire so I decided to do it tml after my lecture ended at 12.30pm... So anyway I left it at tat and went on the South Spine of NTU by taking the shuttle bus, and I set out to find the location of my first lecture at LT 23... Thank God it wasnt tat hard and didnt take tat long... After tat I went to Canteen B and had my lunch at 2 plus b4 hanging ard reading the latest issue of the Nanyang Chronicle till it was almost time to go in...

I went into LT 23 and scanned the many faces, trying to look for a seat at the same time... Luckily I spotted this guy from SPMS camp (Nicholas) but was from another grp... He recognised me immediately and I was quite surprised! N I was so glad to softof find someone tat I 'know' tat I juz sat down beside him... It was cool la, and wad an amazing thing to happen, when juz minutes b4 I thought I would hav to sit alone at some corner... We exchanged phone numbers and agreed to sit together during our common lectures :)

Now on to the lecture... My professor's name is Bernhard Schmidt (dont ask me how to pronounce tat cos I reli dunno) and he had this German accent due to his background but thank God tat I understood wad he was saying most of the time! The course was entitled "Introduction to Scientific Programming" and we would be focusing mainly on the C++ programming language and how we can use it for Mathematical applications... Anyway I found the lecture quite interesting even though I didnt understand everything, maybe cos I had the interest in computer languages b4 last time during my Sec sch yrs :D In the end, he ended early at 5pm and I went off to meet Kaiqi for dinner at Funan... We didnt reli do much oso, juz eat then walk ard Funan... I didnt noe the shops there close so early la, lolx... Left the place at abt 9 plus then went back home... Not too bad for my first day of lesson in NTU! :)
