Sooooo, my first semester at university ended about 2 weeks ago. Results will be out on 22 Dec (yay what a nice Christmas present... not >>>>>). My first semester at uni was one which I can't say I enjoyed very much..


But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I think uni started even before the "official" commencement of school. Like any other universities, mine offered a variety of camps which you can attend to find out more about your intended course, and faculty. As I was somewhat interested in History, I attended the History Camp in May. I had a lot of fun in this very lepakcamp :3 (It was a lot of eating and not much cheering and games). This camp focused more on getting us familiar with the school system and my 2 OGLs were quick to share their own experiences with us. (My OGLs were a really quirky pair with good chemistry, who managed to get along well despite not knowing each other before camp). Of course, we were encouraged to sign up for Arts Camp / Orientation Week as these were our main faculty camps, intended to get us to make friends. My OGL was full of praise for the programme, stating that he made good friends through the camps he attended.

With this encouragement, I decided to attend OWeek :3 Mel and Wen decided to attend as "crashers" as they also heard many stories of the faculty camp from their Econs Camp OGLs and seniors.

And sigh...

I kind of wish I hadn't. I think OWeek was a bad start to my uni life, and it drained my motivation to attend school. Long story short, the camp was full of useless "heart-to-heart" talks designed to make you spill the beans on your former BGRs, and other such nonsense (at the expense of sleep), coupled with (albeit well-intentioned) too many interfering "councilors" from Arts camp. All these (plus the duration of 7D6N wtf) contributed to my "not-so-good" experience of camp. (Althougg I absolutely loved camps prior to that). The very fact that I have not "hung out" with my OG (I barely even see them) is testament to how superficial the relations I made during that camp.

Sighhhhhhhh. And of course that isn't the end of my uni problems.

Because I suck at life and have really bad planning skillz, I have no idea what to do for Y1S2. I x1000000000 regret not taking more exposures in Y1S1 because now I have no idea what to major in / even what mods to take next semester.. (At times like these I wish I was a guy so that I'd have the additional 2 years to think of what I'd like to do in the future; I feel like despite the guidance I received from my OGLs I am still very much a lost kid when it comes to uni)

It's about 20 days to bidding so I really gotta buck up and figure out whay I wanna do with my life soon..
