dropped two classes yest, so am only left with 20 units. if i get into my econ 182..... sadly it's an eight am class and it has the last exam group... but i think i had better take more units this sem if i want to double major....it's pretty scary; there are singaporeans in all my econs classes! esp econ 119, econ and psychology... think there are like 5 other singaporeans... =P classes are pretty ok so far, just that i havn'et encountered any REALLY interesting lecturer yet sadly. and i have a terrible timetable.... a 5 hour break on wed and fris and i can't go home cos i will then spend like at least 1.5 hours travelling to and fro. sometimes it's times like these that i wish i had a car. or that i lived in the dorms =P i quite look forward to learning new stuff in some of my classes, like PEIS 101.... but i havne't gotten into the mood of studying yet. been slacking a lot though i already have readings to do... and yay there's a long weekend this weekend!! =)
it so happened that there was a electricity cutoff yesterday evening.... cos of a terrible accident in the area.... was quite shocked when shiyun called me to tell me the bad news... i was still in sch and was kinda devastated that i prob wun be able to do anything at night... and all the food in the fridge would turn bad... and i wouldn't be able to bathe... but thank goodness everything was restored by late evening... =)

first day of class today... quite sad cos i think my schedule this sem will be pretty screwed up, with huge breaks in between and i also suspect i will end up with too few classes cos everything that i want to take simply clash.. =( or i discovered them too late and thus am like really way behind on the waitlists. oh well. and my comp lit class that i was waitlisted for was really rather boring... maybe it was cos the instructor was so soft i was straining my ears to listen to him and i guess i couldn't identify with his love for poetry, esp when he told every single person enrolled in the class to recite this poem he distributed and the whole class had to sit through 17 recitals of the same poem.... sigh. though i should take R and C i think i shall just drop it and take it next sem. sat in an ART 8 lecture too and that was pretty interesting. lecturer showed slides of art pieces done by previous students and explained how each tried to bring out what they wanted to say. too bad the class is so full i cant possibly add it either. sigh. bad thing about berkeley.... there are so many ppl and everyone'ns just scrambling to get into classes.... was also somewhat disappointed that my jap 1a tutor wasn't as hyper as i thought she would be... and it seems like there will be a lots of hw.. =P but i think it shoudl be fun.....

am supposed to post pictures of my boston/canada trip but then hav been lazing around and doing too many other things... watched more mei li jia ting yest night till 630 am! two more episodes to go..... sch starts tmr! sigh. it will be another 16weeks of sch... before a real break comes... hope my classes this sem would be interesting enough.. =)
just spent so long cooking the first dinner since i came back..... but gladly it turned out fine. it was kinda a strange idnner... requested by ppl esp at my place. turns out that there was a plot behind everything... and we found out a newly attached couple... it took some time though and the main intended audience somehow didnt display the predicted reaction, to the disappointment of the director and actors and actresses... haha. quite an interesting start to a new semester.
and i met 3 of the freshmen yesterday... drove them to ikea and target and some other places to get stuff... and last night i actually drove to the SF airport!! quite a scary incident because right before i started on my trip i think i backed out somewhat badly and somehow the car stalled! and i was really freaked out but fortunately my neighbors came back from groceryshopping or something and managed to get the car started again. but thank goodness i did not cause any major injuries to ziyang's car yesterday...
