so today i had a change in study environment, albeit for a rly short while
i went to keppel club to pick up mac, who's been teaching swim classes to little kids there
i ended up studying by the seaside/poolside for a little while, thanks to an overestimation of peak-hour traffic, and rly beautiful weather





as cliche as this is gna sound, beautiful scenery does help in absorption rates
it was quiet, aside from the sounds of kids giggling in the nearby pool
and the occasional soft horns of passing cruise ships
really nice.

best thing is, this isnt even my club.

i got my first taste of 'hostel life' in NUS today, as janice put it
it does sound really weird, having been in NUS for close to 3 years and never tried the infamous 'hall food' other than night suppers at sheares, or camp-packet-food
so to make up for it, i've spent quite some time in KEVII recently, camping out in this tiny cozy study lounge at janice's blog, burrowing deep in public finance notes
and.. *drumrolls* i had hall food.

yay?

ok it wasnt that bad. it was pretty decent, contrary to most of the complaints i've heard in this lifetime.
today's special was spaghetti (ooh i'm beginning to sound like a hallsian. NOT), but basically everyone had the choice between that and chinese-vegetables-rice
it wasnt bad at all, the food, it even came with soup, a drink, and a banana
we even sat in the harry-potter dining hall with janice's friends, completing my NUS hall experience =p

so, study week's coming to an end. and i'm beginning to feel that slight anxiety creeping up on me
i dont feel un-ready, i just dont feel ready.
at least not 'ready' enough to put everyone outta their A-listings and come up top
garh. its annoying having all this pressure to do well enough to knock myself up one level for upper honors.
