[Part 2] 029. 30 August 2010 Monday

So today was the first day of school, after a 4 months break during which my brain rotted.
If I can successfully get all 6 modules, Mondays and Wednesdays are the worst for me:
Mondays & Wednesdays: 12.30-6.15pm (12.30-1.45pm International Financial Management, 2-3.15pm Korean, 3.30-4.45pm Management Strategy, 5-6.15pm Corporate Finance)
Tuesdays & Thursdays: 10.30-3.15pm (10.30-11.45am Investments, 12.30-1.45pm Consumer Behaviour, 2-3.15pm Korean)
Jeannie wanted to cook omelette for the both of us this morning but the big pot in the kitchen mysteriously disappeared so we ended up having lunch at a Chinese eatery nearby with Yuhong before class started. One of the waiters/chefs can speak Chinese and he even correctly guessed where we're from! Smart guy.

Group work is required for our International Financial Management class for which Alex is also attending so we've already formed our group of 5: me, Jeannie, Yuhong, Alex and a new friend, JungHyun (who has just returned from serving the army).

I think Korean classes will be fun because of a really nice Korean teacher who isn't intimidating! There are quite a few angmohs and Japanese in our class too.

On our way to Korean class

Today's weather was fantastic! Blue sky (I like) and cooling :) Autumn is coming!!!
Management strategy class was a little scary and we're going to split up for the group component because it's a level 4 module so it'll be good if we work with some Korean students and not amongst ourselves. Group work isn't required for Corporate Finance unless we want to do the optional presentation. What a pity when we're actually in a class together with Korean friends (Junho oppa and Junghyun unni)! I made a new friend too...Alejandro from Chile. My first friend from Chile! I think he has Korean blood though.

After our classes finally ended at 6.15pm, we went to the bookstore to get our books before heading for dinner at an eatery near our place...Ginseng chicken soup.

Right after I dumped my stuff in my room, we took bus 1212 to Sungsin Womans University area to shop for JeeHyun unni's birthday present but we didn't find anything for her there. Instead, we shopped for ourselves! I bought a white blouse for 22,000KRW and a black skirt for 14,000KRW. Things there are quite cheap and it's near to Anam as well so I believe we'll be frequenting that area quite a bit.
Back in my room, I skyped with my parents and I stupidly told them that I wanted to go out of my room to switch on the central air-conditioner because some person had to switch it off when I'm burning in my room. But no, my parents told me not to go out of my room because it's dangerous outside. But it's like the corridor and the air-conditioner is right outside of my room, a few seconds away from me. And now I have to burn in my room because I decided to listen to them and not defy their wishes.

Mummy trying to make me miss Singapore by showing me her loot from Takashimaya yesterday...snowskin mooncakes!!! She looked funny in this picture so I blurred her out.

showing me another mooncake

I've no idea why my parents decided to do this!

Alright, time to sleep because I'm becoming incoherent and I have a thousand and one things to plan and do and I have my Investments class at 10.30am tomorrow -.-
