the start of a new sem
it's a new semester again, this time the fifth one out of the six. which means i've two more semesters to go before i graduate with a diploma in journalism, or eight more months to be exact.
started the semester feeling sorta blue, unlike my usual hyper self but the week's been good so far =) was really glad to meet my housemates and classmates again, some looking very different with new hairstyles.
i've five subjects this semester, as seen in the timetable i've posted last sunday, which are photojournalism, production & publication, translation II, public relations and intro to advertising.
translation II's first lecture was cool as usual, i mean, if u've ms tan as ur lecturer, how can it not be cool? ;) she's still as pretty and as brilliant as ever. kicked off with her lecture on the first day of college with an assignment due next monday.
there's nothing much to say about production & publication and public relations save for the fact that in p&p we're going to produce our own magazine from cover to cover.. we're also not allowed to look for sponsors. everything must come outta our own pockets. though it's going to be real expensive an assignment to do, i know we're going to have a fun time producing it! =)
photojournalism lecturer was with The Star for four years, and has worked with malaysiakini before. now that's something worth noticing. haha. i think it's really cool, especially when he relates to us about his experience in malaysiakini and the infamous raid of malaysia kini by the police force two years ago.. and him quitting malaysiakini. oh, and we'd have to crop out money to buy a digital slr camera.. a low-end one at least, which costs minimum RM2500k. *sigh*
something worth mentioning would be that i passed by last semester's exams. passed. i.e. i didnt fail any subjects. which came as a total shock and surprise. it's truly a miracle and it's all God's grace.. i was very sure i'd fail malaysian national goals & programmes and tamadun islam & asia cos it was so hard but i didnt.. all by His grace. haha, now that i see it, maybe i got all 5Cs, also considered passed ma, hahaha. full results with the grades and cgpa coming out on the 10th of november. *shivers*
i was also happy to spend quality time with my housemates this week, we went really crazy playing funny games during our freetime at night.
it was a slow and relaxing week, but the night class i had on last wednesday was freaky. the whole of block V was in total darkness when we stepped outta the classroom. we've since vowed to bring torchlights on the days we have night classes. we cant see each other at all, need to use our phones. and that was just at 7.45pm, what about days we'd have classes till 9pm? i don't wanna imagine.. =s
my whole month from tomorrow onwards would be extremely packed with things to do.. here's few.
tomorrow, 23rd oct [geetz's place in subang usj 8 for deepavali lunch]
24th oct - 25th oct [YA retreat at sungai congkak]
26th oct [class from 10am-12pm and after that movie with christine and shukean]
28th oct/29th oct [weekends would be in church, boys&teens treasure hunt, plus monthly fellowship dinner on 29th]
30th oct [translation assignment deadline + presentation]
31st oct [classes 8am-8pm and going to klcc at the 2-4pm break for ice cream with amanda? sounds fun!]
2nd nov [i think raya at farah's place after class and if possible, watching frankenstein in love at KLPac]
3rd nov [family bday dinner when im back at kajang at night]
5th nov [going back to setapak in d afternoon after church and meeting waiyee in pj to watch Walk His Trail by the footstool players at Life Chapel, pj]
*i think that's all for now*
