Another relaxing weekend

USP O-week was one of the most laidback camps that I've ever attended. There were only about 40-50 freshmen attending the overnight program as the majority chose to attend their faculty / hall orientation week(If SOW wasn't fully subscribed I would've hopped over as well). The majority of the freshies who attended the O-week did not attend the FOC held in July. This means that I've got to know even more peers in the USP!

We stayed overnight from Friday to Saturday. The major programmes included a night walk around Kent Ridge Road and Prince George's Park, as well as a "Food Hunt" where everyone got to discover the various food outlets in the campus including the prata and nasi lemak shop behind Eusoff Hall. In addition, all of us spent our free time touching up our Rag Float. (Rag is less than six days away!) Yes, this camp was an extremely slackly one cos' no one bothered to cheer as loud or walk that quickly as compared to the previous FOC held at Pasir Ris. Yes, all of these happened while our other peers in the faculties and halls were bringing the house down and scurrying like ants all over Kent Ridge. This made us looked like snails taking a stroll.

I also got to secure my modules for the upcoming semester through the CORS bidding system. Yes, CORS looks like a chore and bore for me, making me wish that every single module can be preallocated by my faculty so as to save our time and (perhaps, blood) to outbid one another at the screen. Having seen the bidding results for the various modules up for grabs, one cannot deny that a bumper intake of freshmen means more blood spilled during the close bidding session. Several freshmen threw in everything they have from 400 to 600, symbolising that the paranoid and "kiasu" Singaporean trait continues to define and dominate our national work ethic, hence being a significant denominator of our national identity.

In case you guys were wondering, my workplan for the first semester of Academic Year(AY)2007/08 are as follows:

CM1101 Principles of Modern Chemistry (maj)
CM1111 Basic Inorganic Chemistry (maj)
MA1100 Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics (2nd maj / minor)
MA1102R Calculus (2nd maj / min)
PC1327 Science of Music (faculty elective)
UWC2101J Writing and Critical Thinking: Sites of Tourism (USP)

I'm certainly looking forward to MA1102R, PC1327 and UWC2101J. Calculus is one of my strongest and most favourite branches of Mathematics. In addition my interest in Music and Human Geography will be resurrected through PC1327 and UWC2101J respectively. The former is an extremely popular module in NUS and I spent alot in my Programme Account to secure it. Once again, it's now time to grab the books and refresh whatever little precious memories of our A level knowledge to get a great start to Semester 1.

This week is going to be another busy week, where tomorrow will be the USP Director's Welcome Tea as well as the Freshmen Inauguration Ceremony where we'll be formally inducted into the University. It's going to be a hectic week ahead, where University starts in a big bang for all. Good luck to us!
