freezing

Oh man, it's freezing here!! The temperature dropped overnight and now it's about 0 deg outside? Plus it's raining. I even had to wear my big coat just to run out to throw my rubbish ahha. So scary. Thank goodness I didn't have lessons today (Fri's my free day yay), so I stayed in my room most of the time. It's nice to lie on your bed all wrapped up in blankets, just doing nothing except stare at the TV haha. Yes, I'm just lazy. (Oh btw, the roommate and I covered up the aircon vent in our room with cardboard haha. It's just too cold at night.)

Ok so apart from the weird weather, everything's been fine so far. School is boring, and I don't like 8am classes. Oh and I'm running out of $$ haha. Citibank sucks!! Apparently they were supposed to clear my bank drafts by last Wed, so I paid for my school fees on Fri. But now I just received notice that my payment was rejected and I even have to pay for the returned fee penalty!? WHAT'S WRONG. Argh, I'll have to call the bank tmr.

Speaking of tmr, we're going to Austin again! Like this super big group of us (5 Singaporeans, 3 Spanish, 1 Jap and 1 Texan). Cuz the guys wanna visit Sixth Street, which is this street of pubs/bars -.- We're renting a 7 seater, and hopefully we can squeeze ourselves in for the 2 hour ride. But apparently, there's nothing much to do at Austin except for Sixth Street, which is sad. We should go to San Antonio or Houston sometime!

Oh and my textbooks. I've calculated the cost - I'll spend US$400 if I buy textbooks here, and S$300+ if my mum sends them over from Singapore haha. I just hope nothing will happen to delay the postage. Oh and thanks QY, for helping me check out the books in Singapore!! You're a lifesaver hah. The courses here are quite heavy also, maybe cuz they're level 3 (eeks) haha. There're about 3-5 tests per course?? And each course is twice a week. THe good thing is there are no tutorials haha. But ya, there are projects of course. Sigh.

Ok I'm going to sleep now. Hopefully the weather will improve the next few days, and there won't be an icestorm or something. I heard that if there's too much ice, classes will be cancelled. But I don't want that to happen cuz I want my semester to end early haha. So I can go for my holiday sooner!

Until next time :)

Funny how long
A moment can seem
When you're trying to hold on
