* Wednesday, November 09, 2005 * "Are you in year one or year two now?" "Errr. Tough question. I don't know." That has been the typical conversation with my lecturer in school this week... So many times, I feel lost and out of place... I'm neither here nor there now. I don't know anyone in class except my lecturer. That is a really bad feeling. I hate being alone. Classmates from the previous semester were great... I was glad that I managed to settle in with much ease. BUT NOW. A whole new class... and they are not as opened/friendly as my previous class. Am I experiencing a cultural shock? I learnt this in CUCOM tutorial this afternoon... It is not just something one will experience when one goes overseas, you can experience cultural shock here too. Judging from what I learnt today... I might be. But anyhow, I also learnt that one will experience cultural shock in stages... and it's often in a form of a 'W' so it'll get better at the end of it all! I sure pray it'll get better real soon... Cultural Shock myth: Cultural shocks DON'T come as a shock. As in not the "Oh! I'm shocked" kind. You won't even know you're experiencing it most of the time. Always feel drained at the end of the day... My revised timetable is pure madness. (compared to last semester - ECE students don't come show me your TT. It's just different.) MONDAY: 8-6pm (Lecture day) TUESDAY: 9-4pm (Tutorial day) WEDNESDAY: 1-5pm (IS day) by the way, it's 4 hours straight of CUCOM THURSDAY: 9-4pm (Workshop day) FRIDAY: 9-12pm (CG day) This break comes a little too late, it's end of the week anyway! Ugh. This is only the second week of school but it feels like I'm two months into this already. Today is only wednesday but I feel as though I've fought a battle. Time seems to be crawling again. No. This only happens on weekdays... Time seems to be sprinting on weekends. Ok. I think I'm really experiencing a cultural shock. But KNOW WHAT? One of the ways to overcome it is to tell others about it: blog about it or write others an email. That's exactly what I'm doing... Hee. Alrighty, I'm sleepy...needa go sleep soon. BUT I'm suppose to do Social Psychology Journal One! ARRRRRRGH. BUT I can barely see what I'm typing now! BUT I'm supposed to do writcom wow assignment! BUT I have school at 9 tomorrow! NO BUTS. I've a battle to fight tomorrow again. I need to replenish enough to last the whole day. I haven't felt tired at this time for a long time. Labels: School/Work
