i'm very exhausted. haha. i was more exhausted just now before the project discussion for issues in development psychology. haha. had a long day working for the school today.. standing for 9 hours and answering the questions of incoming freshmen (i saw guanqun - guan's sister, liping and kim! hahaa). exchanged contacts with some friendlier ones so that they can contact me if they have more questions. hehe.
very strenous for the voice. haha. the other student representatives were like saying that the three of us from psy (me, estee - a year4 students and rayder - year 3) are overworked and underpaid:P 'cos we had a large influx of students asking about psychology:S haha. it was like i'll finish speaking to one group, turn to the right, there's a group waiting for me. i finish speaking to that group, another group will be on my left waiting. it got so bad till i had to stop one group and ask them to give me some time to get water..'cos my voice was already dying:P lol. but nevertheless, it's an interesting experience. at the end of the day, the different student representatives bonded nicely. haha. now i know someone from social work society (serene from yr3), the president, secretary and another comm member of the CNM society (i only remember the name of the secretary.. she's called Daphne and she lives in toa payoh! haha), someone from philo yr 4 and other pple i can't remember the names of. haha. we took a picture together=] then we wondered if the photo will come up in next year's open house's mural or something:P yea well. pretty tiring, hectic. but fun. got the chance to converse with the lecturers on quite a variety of things.. their life in general, their passion, their research, even their religion. realised that i really need to read up quite a lot if i wanna be able to share on an equal level with them:) it's not everyday that u can chit chat for an extended time with ur lecturer abt life in general. hahaa. had quite a good day chatting to serene over the bus trip home about social work in general and what she wants to go into in the future.. had quite a good time knowing more about estee as well:) she went on NOC and decided to stay there to work for another year:) haha. she says that she was in Philadelphia and she used to hear gunshots every night... it's not very safe in her neighbourhood. heh.
the freshmen seem to forever ask the same qns xD what's psychology? what do you all study? what are the job prospects? what is the intake and admission criteria? what is the difference between ntu, nus and smu psychology? lol.
there's still a lot of things to prepare for tmr:) hahaa. and wednesday's the day of two presentations for the two classes i have! woohoo. how exciting. maksim is playing out the extent of my emotions and thoughts. had a glimpse of working light. just a far distant glance. how intriguing.
