not that bad.

i've went to my college for the orientation and class since last week. i like going to school early in the morning, well not that early, class starts at 8:30am and sometimes 9am. it just feel so good because of the weather, it's so cool and it's autumn now. not much difference compared to summer only a little more cooler. and walking around the school with myself wrap around with clothes. it's just like winter.

they had a 2nd hand book sale just now and i went to look for my books. unfortunately, i only get to purchase one. the reduced price are still so expensive. omg, thank god i found one that's at a much more reasonable price. original price:$90+ and i get to purchase it for $35. there's a lot more books that i have to buy, im gonna wait until thursday (last day of 2nd hand book sale) and go have a look some more, they might sell it at a cheaper price.

if you want to ask me about my school, all i can say is.. it's big, i get lost sometimes, and i like it. i havent love it yet. my classes are in different building, and i have to get to different places everyday. i'm taking 1 subject each day and most of my classes starts in the afternoon because i hate waking up early in the morning and it's so cold in the morning and i just love wasting my time taking long showers. it feels so good.

btw, the course im taking is construction management and economics, i think it sounds much more profesisional like this. for sem1, im taking business maths, communication skills 1, management and introductions to computing. i'm taking english too actually but i think i'm gonna drop it IF i pass the test the other day. i'm still waiting for my results, hopefully i pass. the course is free and i just take it but now that i'm starting to feel so lazy i think i'll drop it. i might attend the class first and see how it goes.

i want to get a part time job after sometimes of studying because im afraid that i cant have time to study and i might be to tired to concentrate in class and etc. but the pay here is so tempting. $9 per hour but we(international students) cannot work more than 20hours per week. i dont have class during weekends and im planning to get a job. so that i can cover the money i use to purchase my books, they're just so expensive. i almost drop my jaw when i heard about the price.

some of the books that im using are the latest edition and they do not have it in the 2nd hand book sell. boo hoo. im gonna go look for the books again tomorrow. sigh. and i'm using them for sem1, which is only 3months and after that i'll need to get a new batch of books. -__- everywhere i go needs money. urg.. i'm gonna sell all my books when i go to sem2, hopefully i pass everything so that i wont have to retake the subject again. pray pray pray. 阿密陀佛~

and i met some new friends too, suprisingly there's some from chms. and i enjoy going to school by bus too, that's something that i don't do when i was back in brunei. it wasnt that bad after all. all i need is my smart rider, and i got my student ID too. i look like a kaling there, it's so dark. what to do? it's a uni not a studio. i'll be going to college (CIC) for 2 years doing taking certificate IV and diploma then only i can go to uni.

i feel all grown up doing everything myself and i'm happy about that. that's all about it. wish me luck yea. i do like my college a lot, although there's spider webs sticking from walls to walls but other than that it's okay. hehe. bye bye.
