You know your university sucks when one of the modules you HAVE to take to advance costs so much. Well this is happening right now, where there's this class I absolutely have to take to advance and there are way too many people going for it. Damn all you people who don't have to take it but take it to piss the rest of us who do off anyway.

I'm going to be stuck with 4 modules instead of 5 this semester because nothing fits. It either has lectures that clash with my compulsory classes or it clashes with the exams of my compulsory classes. Which means I'll probably have to play catch up in future semesters.

I had my first driving lesson today. Didn't do much, well learned the parts of the car I needed to know. Learned to start the car, change the gears, how to operator the direction indicator (lol) and did a teeny bit of U-turning. Apparently, he's going to teach me how to turn in the next lesson, which is kinda fast consider my left and right feet aren't feeling very cooperative.

I stalled the engine twice today. First when I was stopping the car, the car was already at a complete stop when I released the clutch while depressing the brake pedal. Lol. That was kinda lame. The second time, I can't even remember how I stalled the engine. Anyway I'm still having some troubles changing the gear, I somehow end up stepping on the accelerator and clutch at the same time (about 3-4 times). On top of that, it's a little difficult to pull up the hand brake (no troubles releasing it though).

My instructor mentioned I should consider getting contacts to facilitate the checking of blind spots. Strange advice. And he gives me way too much personal information. I know the number of children he is, what they do, where he went on vacation in the last year, the number and age of grandchildren etc etc etc. o.O

Been watching lots of CSI and playing the SIMS 2 lately. I'm almost into my 2nd generation of Sims. First gen is about to transit into elderly-hood and die. Second gen is currently in university (I've already decided on the main 2nd gen Sim). I'm also watching an average of 4 episodes of CSI Season 6 a day (Currently at episode 14).

Name:
Location: Singapore, Singapore, Singapore

I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
