Feeling Small

Not literally.. but after today, it feels like I've just been slapped awake and someone's just told me that all of this is real and I am in University right now. And it's definitely a lot tougher to deal with this because I'm away from home.

Well, what made me react this way all of a sudden is most probably the result of my first lectures for Finance and Quantitative Methods. I stepped into both of those lectures full of optimism and excited to see what's in stored for me this year. Instead, what laid in stored for me was a mind-numbing two hours of information just thrown at me non-stop. It's not like any of those lectures during my SAM days, where the lecturer will stop every now and then to ask if there are any questions and whether everyone understands or can keep up with what they're saying, but the lecturer will just go on and on. I guess this is what they mean when they say you're on your own in Uni.


Well, in my self-studying efforts, I actually picked up the brand new original copies of the textbooks that I'll be needing this year, and WOW, as if carrying these books from campus to my room wasn't difficult enough, I'm actually supposed to finish studying everything that's in these textbooks by this semester! Which is pretty frightening thought for me. Hahaha.

Right now, I'm just a little nervous and skeptical about what's in stored this year. Hopefully the coming lectures will be a little easier on me. Yeah, I think all of this will take some time getting used to. Pray for me =D

Well, Mine is the killer as the lecture does not provide even 70% OF the info. I have to read the text book for hidden key words. Wtf like 30% she din teach us. Worse than urs, somemore no textbook 1.
