First week of school is over. I can forsee a stressful and challenging semester ahead. Wonder how many people will drop approx theory after attending the lecture yesterday. Seems that the lecturer assumes knowledge on Lebesgue integration and Hilbert spaces. This isn't too bad for me, since I'm in constant contact with dearest lebesgue and hilbert. But it was really shocking that he made the module 49% CA, and there's no mid-term test!

I've decided to take PDE instead of numerical PDE. Hope it's a right choice. With no night lesson this semester, I'll be around if anything happens at home. Even if I'm not able to do much, at least I'm around. If circumstances allow, I'll take numerical PDE during masters year.

Looking forward to the end of the semester. :)

It's kind of getting on my nerve that I still haven't gotten to book my mid-term talk timeslot. I thought the department should at least send us an email to explain the delay, and if the date for first draft submission is affected or not. Not leave us in a confused state. There's this rumour that a panel of examiners will be assigned. All analysis projects will be marked by one person, all algebra projects will be marked by someone and so on. Hmm. As long as no panel sit in for my interview, I'm fine with this arrangement.

Oh yes, I saw quekie on thursday. I was taking the stairs to the 6th floor. While I was almost out of breathe on the 5th floor, quekie appeared (his room is on the 5th floor). And somewhat, somehow, I found this energy to go "prof quek!!" and give an enthusiastic wave. My energy was like replenished after that. Next time I go for a run, I'll carry his photo with me. Haha. okok, the point is, I'm always happy to see him. Most of the people who took lebesgue integration with me last time would agree that he's a nice lecturer. As for this waving business, I do it to almost everybody I know. Of course if the other party flash me this blank look, I'll try to be more subtle the next time round.

On the same day, I sat in for algebra one lecture. I was trying to compare and contrast the lecturer with my algebra lecturer last time. Luckily we were distracted by the flood outside prof goh's office, because prof tan suddenly appeared. Haha. Though I wasn't saying anything bad behind his back, but still, I think it's not good for him to know that I'm comparing his teaching style against that of his colleague. :)
