So It Begins…

   Well, finally made my peace with Finance Department, and duly registered for my subjects this evening – three core subjects (security, data mining and something about design) plus an elective – theater. Why theater? Because I’m vaguely interested in acting, and all the other alternatives (chess, volleyball, etc.) suck. Plus, there’s a higher percentage of chicas there (which is correct, yay!)

   Still, this semester got “long day” written all over it. I’m supposed to go for an interrupted 4-hour block on Fridays, and on Thursdays I’ll be having classes from 2 to 8! The long, idyllic breaks from yesteryear, how I miss thee!

   But again, theater. There’s this girl who looks Chinese, but has a Malay name, and her nickname is Japanese. Sort of cute, I do hope she’s in my faculty, once a week is not enough for the sort of “meaningful interaction” that I have in mind.

   Totally exhausted, gonna sign off, play a little game, then hit the sack. Tomorrow’s gonna be a long, probably boring, sleepy day.

Semesterial Update – the Good, Bad and Ugly

   (lol made-up word, I wonder if I can copyright it)

   So, the good news; in what can only be described as miraculous, I actually managed to score a 3.30 on my last semester’s exam, thus bringing my CGPA back to the “+3.0″ region. This is unexpected because I never dreamed that I can actually managed to pull an “A” out of my Operating Systems subject. WHOO!! GO ME!!

   Bad news is, I got a frickin’ B- on my Object Oriented Programming. A “B” on a programming subject… that’s unheard of! I knew that stupid project is going to come back and haunt me… I just never expected how much! If only things are different… granted, it’s not really that bad, but still my ego is hurt and bruised.

   Finally, the ugly – I got barred from continuing on into the second semester – unless if I cough up another 2k in fees (on top of the 4k that I already paid!). I really don’t see how I can get around this, the lady in charge seems really determined to get her… uh, I mean the university’s dough. Negotiations are under way, but it seems that I might have to sit out this semester… not really devastating by itself, but it will most likely delay my graduation for a year.

   But on the plus side, at least this is one of those rare things that I can say that “it’s not my fault”. Well, whatever happens will happen, on the bright side I’ll get an extra 2 month’s holiday, so it’s not really the end of the world.

Iä! Shub Niggurath! Black goat of the woods with a thousand young!
