Someone commented that my blog is dead. Haha. Sorry lar, I'm busy.

Although I can churn out many many pages for my theses, it is a different story when it comes to essays. Oh well, I guess the things I'm doing now are just not my cup of tea. I just hope the bit of extrinsic motivation is enough to last me through the next 10 months. For the first time in my life, I had Monday blues yesterday. Well well, this is certainly not a good sign.

Some people are encouraging me to do phd after my bond. The thought of becoming the only female prof in nus math department really brightens me. Haha, especially when this idea was being proposed by my favourite lecturers in nus. However, reality sets in. I think my brain will be rusty by the time I step out of this place in 10 months time. And whether I can gather up enough courage to pick up research again in a few years time is another story altogether. :)

A short update about the past two weeks. Hmm. The timetable is still pretty slack, with a few e-learning sessions here and there. Some courses have yet to start, so the full timetable will only kick in at the end of the month. I have no content upgrading, haha, thanks to the physics modules I took last time. I kept comforting myself that most of the modules will end by end of October. I'll have holidays soon. Haha. And if I minus away the ten weeks of practicum, December holidays and public holidays, my days in nie are limited. Then I don't ever need to travel all the way to Boon Lay again. Haha.

Btw, in our canteen and library, there're several spots with no network. Meaning, I can't receive calls or smses there. Last week, someone tried to sms several of us to meet at a particular spot at 10am. I received the sms at 11.20am. Some didn't even receive it at 1pm.

It is going to be a long day tomorrow. My lesson starts at 8.30am. The last lesson ends at 7.30pm. Fantastic right. Luckily friday is going to be a free day, but that's until end of August only. Sigh. I'm missing NUS for all sorts of reasons now. Haha. But I know it is no use indulging in the past. What matters more is how I can survive the present and plan for the future.

I hope I can gain something from my year in NIE. Haha, I have decided to not waste time, but rather make use of it somehow.
