And my reason (okayyyy, excuse) was that I wanted to stay at home to do the swapping for one of my tutorials. I know that's not a very valid excuse, but I don't see the point of attending the econs lecture on what we had already learnt (JC stats) and besides, I'm too lazy to go all the way down to Science fac for my consecutive computing module for two hours and then go baack home again - the journey to and fro home and school takes two hours as well, so I wasn't really feeling very enthusiastic about travelling down. Hence, I stayed at home and stoned in front of the computer screen for three hours, wishing and praying that some kind soul would want to swap the tutorial slot that I wanted with me.

Alas, it was all empty waiting and time wasted. -.-

So, in order to lessen my guilt over skipping two lectures today, I promised myself I'll make good use of the time to study. (And yes, I'll do that soon. Hurhur.) Yes, I know I'm a big procrastinator.

And since we're on the subject of school, things are fine - except that readings are piling up like nobody's business. AND YOU'RE SERIOUSLY MISTAKEN IF YOU THINK TAKING A NON-EXAMINABLE MODULE'S A PIECE OF CAKE. It is not. Trust me. I'm saying this because I just had my first taste of this non-examinable module that I'm taking yesterday. It's called evaluating academic arguments - it introduces students to...concepts in informal logic...so that they will be able to evaluate as well as write logical responses to materials read in various disciplines... So, the silly me thought it seemed like an easy module. Or maybe I'm just plain dumb. Anyway, like I said, it was mind-boggling and kind of abstract. But like what the lecturer mentioned several times, what we are learning here will be very useful. I just hope that I can survive another 11 more weeks of this.
