First week of university is unofficially over [since I've 2 tutorials on Fridays and tutorials won't start until next week]. Glad to say, I've survived! Not that I expected myself not to survive...
Being away from home for almost a week...didn't make me miss it more. Perhaps cuz I did go back for awhile on Wednesday to fetch my Mac, I wasn't away from home for that long.

I do miss home food, as well as the close proximity to a wide variety of food available back in Toa Payoh Lor 7.
Did I mention I've been eating the same breakfast set from the same canteen for 4 days straight? Decided to just get an iced milo this morning, which makes me really hungry now.

At least our room isn't as warm as it felt when we first moved in. Either the temperature did go down, or we've basically gotten used to it. Glad that I no longer feel the need to lug a fan back to hostel.

Academic-wise, there's only been lectures. Other than my core courses, I've attended lectures for Chinese Migration and Cross-Taiwan Straits Relations. The course contents for both HC4xx electives are really interesting and I believe knowledge from both courses will benefit me greatly in the future. For practical reasons, such as safeguarding my grades by diversifying the risk, I am highly likely to drop Cross-Straits Taiwan Relations once I find another elective for substitution, but I swear I'll be back. I seriously need to build up my intellect and develop better critical thinking and analyzing skills. I never had much confidence in my Chinese other than the 莫名其妙的潜在自信 which I always have, but A Levels was truly a great hit. Which explains my fear of Economics now. Urgh, move on!

Chinese Migration lecture next wednesday clashes with Chron Welcome Tea! Hope I can make it for half the session. Still wondering if I should join CAC or anything else in addition to Chron. I want to learn Guitar someday before my prediction comes true and my guitar really rots in my room! Or maybe I should attempt a personal breakthrough by joining some sports?

Self-reminder:
`Financial planning -.-
`Mail-in rebate
`Payback time
