The new semester

Yeah. Another new semester. More of me doing nothing, except now my days will be punctuated by classes and coursework and assignments and more of actual, y'know, getting out of the house. That sort of stuff. I'm only taking one subject this semester (Creative Writing 1. And, yes, I am a lazy bum) and thus I don't think I'll be too occupied by university-related work and stuff so I'm sure I'll still have lots of time for the other (important) things: writing, photography, music, sleep, porn, that sort of stuff.

It's a short semester this time. 7 weeks. Although having two classes a week for every subject basically makes it still 14 classes in a semester. Just more packed. My previous short semester experience wasn't great (2.8-something GPA oh yeah) so, yeah, I am perhaps a bit apprehensive. If only for the fact that I usually take four weeks just to get going and now, whoa, I'll be getting an assignment on Thursday and will have to pass it up by, yeah . . .

Week four. Whee.

To be honest it was a good enough first day. Spent the whole day after our brief, introductory first class hanging out with friends, as expected, many laughs ensued. What else? I don't think I've ever really had a
bad experience hanging out with my friends at uni, oddly enough. I then had dinner at Williams here in Kelana Jaya with some other friends. Quite delicious, if I do say so myself. Even better that one of my friends paid for everything and I didn't even have to get my wallet out. Which was just as well, since when I got home I realized I had all of, what, 15 bucks inside there?

I did, to some extent, miss my friends during the holidays. Ok, maybe not exactly
them but more the whole hanging out and talking and laughing and having fun. Or . . . wait, ok, yeah. I did miss them.

In all honesty it seems like it's going to be an alright enough semester. Creative Writing 1 seems interesting (and, honestly, seems like something I
should be able to handle easily enough), hanging out with friends is just as fun (as if that would change) and, well, I just have this feeling that it'll be good. Or at least not crappy. Enjoyable, even, perhaps, to an extent. You never know, eh. I just have to avoid spiralling into my typical mid-to-late-semester depression and I should be fine.

(Of course, now that I've mentioned it, I invariably will.)
