Hostel Stay!
Whee!!! I am back fr my hostel! finally! after staying for 2 days:) Made new friends, have adapted very well to the hostel life n yups, love the lectures too! especially educational psychology!!!^^ It is really a fresh module i have never learnt n studied before. Hence, it was just so interesting n engaging listening to the lecture n giving my 2cents worth of opinion regarding the student's way of thinking:))
Frankly speaking, i was feeling quite apprehensive going into teaching. Not because i do not like teaching as a career, but because i m afraid that i would grow weary of facing naughty children on a daily basis. BUT..after two days of studying at NIE, i m encouraged, uplifted n believe that i can make a difference in the lives of these young kids!
Yups yups:) went to the FOC too!!! quite a pathetic...ahem..no..actually a very pathetic attendance though. BUT! i made great friends there. friends whom i can talk n connect really well with..We went to Sentosa to build....SANDCASTLES!! Yes! sandcastles!=.='' Played icebreaker games using sandcastles, but it was made fun by the great company of new friends i made!^^
Aniwae, i realised that i have become much more sociable and confident then before after going to NIE n staying in a hostel, even though it is just the beginning. Yups! i m looking forward to more of hostel life even though it is quite inconvenient travelling in n out of hostel to teach tuition. I have a lack of private space too as i m bunking with a friend. Haha, therefore, some things i do secretly at home cant be done at the hostel anymore=p BUT!! i m not going to regret it as i paid for a semester fee already..haha, no lah...tats not the main point...the main point is, i can take this opportunity to be more independent n adaptable=))
Yups! took a few pics too of my hostel and with my FOC friend. didnt get to take much though as i had to go off early. would try to post more pics in the next entry:)
Time for pics!!!
Aisha n i on the bus to Sentosa!^^
Me at the study table in my room at the hostel:)
This is how my hostel room looks like- hall 9:)
Intend to doll the room up even more cos it looks kind of empty.
Yups! only have these few pics at the moment. will try n upload more soon!
Ciao!
School
School is starting tomorrow...Finally back to studying ater 8 mths of slacking, stoning, working etc.
New school, new hostel, new faces...a totally new environment i will face tomorrow. Would have to admit that there is a tinge of fear in me of not knowing what is going to come in my course of studying in NIE n stay at NTU. Having many mixed feelings right now. Feelings of apprehension and fear coupled with excitement n of course expectation!
Wonder how it is like living away from my family...out of my comfort zone. I will definitely miss them! on the bright side, i will learn how to b more independent- washing n ironing the clothes myself:)
One thing i m feeling more worried about though is me lacking a laptop, as almost everything in my course is computer based. Have to make do with my school's computer lab first till i buy one with my savings:)
Okiex! tats about it! will try updating abt school perhaps in a few days time if i m not busy:)
Meanwhile, i m crossing my fingers that i will not get lost in ntu, as the last time i went there, i spent 4hrs trying to find my way from the hostel to nie back n forth and to my friend's hostel! Almost died!
Tats all folks!
Ciao!!!^^
