college life

On Friday, I had a very frustrating encounter with biasness against us Asians here. I attended this lecture for my X220 class and it was 8am when it started. Din get any sleep, I found it hard to concentrate to listen to the nonsense from the alumni panel which I have absolutely no interest in. Thus, I gave in to sleep and started nodding away. I've got this Korean fren who sat beside me. Instead of being discreet about his sleeping, he basically curled up and slept throughout the lecture. Ok... very noticeable action that got me caught as well (I was trained to sleep discreetly btw.) However, I noticed that along the aisle there are MANY who are nodding away or doing other stuff i.e. figuring out crossword puzzles and stuff. Thus when we were due to leave, the instructor standing by the door was stopping me and my fren to take away the credit for attending the lecture (cards were given out for attendance of the lecture for credits) for sleeping in lecture. I mean, I acknowledged that I'm at fault for sleeping. But what about the others? So its right to pull out your homework to do during the lecture? Anyway I was pretty pissed about it; it was pretty obvious that they are selective in catching those who did not pay attention to the lecture. Screw the IU system!

Fortunately, I got a fren whose got TWO cards. Heh... another administrative bludder by IU. Well, in any case I think I should ask someone to get the cards for me during lectures to save my bloody time attending something thats irrelevant to me.

Went to the apartment center to apply for an apartment for spring '06. I went there at ard 1140pm and the time stated on the door was 12pm - 1pm lunch break; well apparently the ppl inside were ready for some Friday pinic before I rudely intruded into their preparation. Well excuse me, lunch starts at 12pm! I walked in to see this black woman holding ham and some ice cubes. Din bother about her lunch prep, I asked her abt the apartment availability and just got a curt "No space." Feeling abit frustrated by their lousy service, I asked for a place in the waitlist. She just retorted, "Oh, the application period for spring is not ready... So theres no point putting down your name." Ok, screw you bitch! I just turned and walked out the door without closing behind me. And I could still hear them saying, "He din even close the door." Hello? Its on purpose cos I'm pissed!

To celebrate the end of the first chain of exams, I went to Domo at 3rd Street with Fandy and Weiyi fer some Jap food. Its pretty nice, but very pricy (Ok I'm comparing to Spore standards, which means I can have my fav sashimi buffet and have change fer taxi back home.) Oh well, I din bother much about the price cos I just wanna eat some nice stuff after my gym wif weiyi which we ran 3 miles again. Anyway, saw my fren whose throwing a Korean bday party downstairs with lots of cute korean chicks. Shit man, shld have gone in with him! haha...

Yesterday was insane. I did area-cleaning for my dorm and feeling damn satisfied now its clean and liveable. After which, I went collegemall with Fandy to shop for some Fall clothes that I feel I lacked of. I shouldnt even have started. 3 and a half hr later, I ended with 2 big bags of clothes and burnt a total of USD 241.66 into my pocket. Ouch. Eugene joined us later and added that next week his dad wanna bring him to Edinburgh to buy winter stuff. Shit. Another shopping trip. This is really bad man... gotta stop this or I can't go to NY during winter break (stuck in B-town during Xmas is pretty sad.)

Talkin about shopping, I need a pair of decent shoes. Ok, I know I spent alot liao but I just want a pair of shoes. And a pair of boots. And a nice, warm winter jacket. And a..... ok enuff already! Just these.... which means anor USD 300 gone.... Shit. Anyway tink I will decide by today so I can get them when the next weekend comes ard.

I feel the effect of a shrinking weekend. Instead of having 48 hr of rest and relax, I am laden with work and unable to take a stroll down the lovely school to snap some photos of the coming Fall. Trees are turning a different shade and its getting rather cold now; really wish to stay this way the entire way. Wishful thinking on my part. Wassup with exams during the weekends? On Oct 15 and 16 (Sat and Sun) I got my Mid term exams for Maths and Accounts. Shit man, issit necessary?? After I burnt my weekends, its back to the same monotonous routine of studying. Spare me pls! Thx giving breaks, pls arrive earlier so that I do not have X220 and A100 anymore! 3 more weeks for A100 and 5 more for X220 before I can fully concentrate on the rest. Sweet~

Anyway enough of complaining. I got like a ton to read and hmwk to complete. Later still got run with Eugene... Oh no... dunno if my kneecap can support a 7-mile run. Yeah laterz~
