New Life in studies - University!!!

I'm finally a university student.

Orientation week: It can be said a fun one or bored one. However, I enjoyed it because I met a lot of new friends and my old friends xD The most enjoyable was the campus tour although I'm so familiar with the campus as I was a staff there. My group buddy is Desmond. He is from School of Engineering. He is friendly and helpful and funny :) I appreciate the Allocate+ given me the time table I wanted which is my Monday and Friday off, at least I can have more time to rest, do my homework and revision or sometimes family wanna go outstation, i can still join them instead I'm the only one stay at home LOL..

Week 1: The week started well but the lecturers already gave us all the assignments for Semester 1. Come on, it's only 1ST WEEK!!!! Stress man!!! I do satisfy with the lecturers and tutors. They are very nice and patient to us although some of them go very fast because we have to finish all the syllabus within 13 weeks before our final starts. Monash has a very high standard so we have to be consistent and time management is very important. At the same time, we have to develop our leadership as in we have to participate at least a club and to be active with it.

Week 2: This week is the Club & Socities week. I have joined Monash Leo Club, Monash Accounting Club, Monash Exchange Club and Monash Badminton Club. I host a project for Leo Club (organising chairperson). It's a tough job but I wanna challenge it and I wanna prove that I can do it :) Secondly, I went to the Networking Party held by the Accounting Club. It was a fun one. I nominate myself for the post of Assistant Activities Coordinator. I'm happy because I got 2nd highest votes for the post although I didn't get it. This was the 1st time so many people vote for me and given me applause which I didn't get any from my previous experience. Also, I'm glad that I gave a "nice, simple and sweet" (told by the MC) speech to introduce myself to the members which I never did it before especially I was not told to give a speech. It was surprisingly. I have to skip the badminton session because I need to attend the Accounting Club's event. Furthermore, Monash Exchange Club has organised a Malacca trip on the coming Saturday, cost RM90 for members and RM100 for non-members. Should I go? If I really wanna go, I need to complete my Economics assignment 1 and study Business Stats for the test on MOnday. I'll consider it first..

About study, I have already hand in my Business Stats homework. I also need to interview a manager for my Management assignment 1, find some news or articles for my Economics assignment 1 and analyse Business Stats assignment 1. My accounting lecturer aka tutor told us that we will receive our assignment 1 by email, everyone has their own question. Also, we have to use MYOB to do it..OMG!!! I only know how to use UBS larrr...Luckily, my father has the software and he can teach me at least :) Lastly, I partnered with Melvin for our accounting presentation. We have to present on the week 6. Whoa, it's a tough one but I'm sure we can do it, just have to practice more and analyse it clearly =)

I have to stop here because I need to do my work. I hope I can finish them before I start week 3..God bless me!!! CHEERS!!!
