~Boo~

It's the last week of school (or maybe second last, given that the last day of the semester is next Monday) and I've been attending the last few lectures, discussions... and feeling kinda yi(1) yi(1) bu(4) she(3). Sorry, I can't remember the english term for it, so I guess the chinese idiom is the best to describe my feelings right now.

Econ 101A was my first lesson for today (cause I refuse to go for Math 53!) and it was byebye to Stefano Dellavigna. He's probably the shuaiest *cough* prof I've had so far, which isn't saying much because this is only my second semester at Cal. I enjoyed his lessons, but I think I'd miss Mariana (my GSI) more because her lessons were so darn good. During her discussions, I could really understand the material and thank goodness for that, if not I don't even know how I'd manage all of my problem sets. I took both Dan and Mariana sections, and Mariana is much much better and I specially took the 5-6pm class just because of her.

After that, I had Jap 7B lecture. It was the most awesome lecture (and the last too) of Jap 7B in the semester. I'm partly biased because we got back our midterm today, and frankly, I am SO DAMN RELIEVED. I flunked my Part A - the MCQ portion - though, Harharhar. But I aced my love essay! MY ESSAY ON TRUE LOVE!!!! Zomg. I read through it and still thought it was crap. But hey, if Wallace loves it, so do I. HAH. Guess all my romance novels paid off. SEE DAD, I SHOULD BE READING MORE STORYBOOKS!

After going through the midterm (with me glaring at Part A), we had some time left! So we played this nomination game with lots of fun categories! Okay, it probably wasn't that fun, but hey, Chen feng wasn't there to keep my company today, and I haven't had much fun for quite some time, so this is FUN! We had categories such as Most Hot Topic Superstar...in which the majority of us voted for Seikichi in The Tattooer by Tanizaki (gape at this Feng feng!). Guess all of us girls... and guys as well go for this sort of hot, dark, sadistic type of guys. Hah.

I think one of the funnier titles was Most suited to be a Hooker, or stuff like, Most likely to Dream About. Oh for this? I voted for CLOUD from FF7 (yes we did Final Fantasy for our Jap class! This is hot damn cool!) while some voted for Tifa. FF7 rules over all the books! W00~

Speaking of Jap 7B, I had my last discussion on Tuesday. Despite not contributing a single point in class, I actually felt sad when I left the room that day. I actually made friends in that class... which is kinda cool given that I haven't really been mixing around outside my comfort zone. Gonna miss all my friends!

Just got back from my very last UGBA 10 discussion... this class really taught me alot and I'm feeling darn proud that I managed to say two words in class today. The two words were "Brand Name". HAHAHA. Pathetic much? But compared to how I behaved during the first few sessions... this is really a breakthrough for me. I dare to speak up now... even without quivering! Lol. But thank you UGBA 10, even though I dont think I'll be able to get into Haas (hence I'll do Econs/Pysch), I really learnt alot and even overcame this barrier that I never thought I would be able to.

I'm starting to enjoy college now. I can even see myself growing and improving! Last semester I kept thinking of home, Singapore, and staying in my comfort zone. But this sem? Although it was tough, especially with the class participation barrier, and what's with all the quizzes and essays (WALLACE!!!!!), I learnt alot. I think I can even manage my time way better now. I can even crap out nonsense essays quickly! Lol. And from the elections, interviews... wow, I learnt about friendship, about staying calm and most importantly, don't ever go to an interview unprepared x_x Guess I learnt it the hard way.

I love college!

But then again... finals start next week. And I have 2 midterms on Monday!

Bummer.
