Just coz I feel I've been having some tough luck today!
Let's start off with course registration. So at 11 am today, us EL students are required to register the subjects that are to be taken for next semester. I managed to log into the registration system at 11.00 am but was not able to register any subjects at all for nearly an hour.
While this incident was taking place, other people were registering their subjects breezily. Only when I asked Derek to help me with the registration did it finally budge. The eff.
Naturally, I got stuck with times that were sucky. For example, since I will be taking French next semester, it is bad enough that classes are conducted on Saturdays. While most of my coursemates managed to get into the first tutorial which is from 12.30-2, 2-3.30, yours truly and a few other unlucky ones got stuck with the second tutorial which is from 4-5.30, 5.30-7. Lectures are on Saturday morning, 8.00-10.00, 10.00-12.00. Can you see a big gap there? I can and I don't like it. I have classes till 7 pm on Saturdays and all this because there are no other languages that interest me.
The head of department said there were 15 languages available BUT as of now, there are only 3 languages, namely Japanese, Tamil and French that are available. What lies these people tell us. If you only have 3 just admit it and stop boasting about how there are zillions of languages to choose from. Sigh.
Anyway. I'm trying to convince myself that it doesn't matter. Not like I have a life anyway so I might as well attend classes on Saturdays, especially ones till 7 pm to fill my time.
After all, I have no home town to go back to, no car to drive around to interesting places and basically NO LIFE la aiya.
Next on the rant list, my resume for Industrial Training. That's right. Even English language students have training. I'll be going for industrial training next year from January till around mid April. Fields to look into are such as teaching and errr journalism and..media things. I'm planning to stay in Miri for training and I might..go into teaching. If that doesn't work then urgh, journalism then. Not like I have much choices to begin with.
Anyway, that is not the point. The point is, I've completed my resume last week and have gone to print it out, attach photo, scan and etc etc since it has to be handed up on Wednesday. I just found out JUST NOW that I made a typo when entering my grades for a subject. It is now raining in Kampar. Tomorrow is National Day. If no printing shops are open, what am I gonna do? I have classes at 8.30 am I think on Wednesday. FML max.
These are times when I wished I would just have bought a printer despite protests from people around. It would have been so much easier especially when it comes to printing notes and doing assignments and such. Depending on printing shops and even friends for printing is just damn hard. Oh well what can I do I'm nearly done with my life here anyway so why should I even bother regretting now?
Oh wait I am already.
In fact I feel like...breaking down the wall or something. Or screaming. Or throwing things around. Roar.
And my resolution from now onwards: Never be too nice to anyone. You may be able to give everything in the name of friendship to them but really, do you mean anything to them? Will they give everything to you? The answer is No. Sometimes it just takes the hard way to find out. Even people whom you deem are closest to you might not feel the same about you.
I think I've made the resolution before but meh, I always seem to forget and it always takes some sort of experience to remind myself of this harsh reality.
Now I shall try and do..something that might not make me get any angrier.
Till then.
