Uni life, Year 1 Sem 2

Plain awesome. Its always been awesome, from the beginning of semester 1 till now, I'm pretty much enjoying and embracing each and everyday of uni life. So much so that during my first semester, I feel grateful when I'm stepping on USM campus ground. Yup, till that extent I like my uni. Been longing to blog but just not willing to spend that few hours of typing. Felt a bit waste of time. Sincerely hoping that I don't take up too much time blogging this too. Giving myself a 30 mins time frame.

Am currently stepping into my one-week of study week, decided not to go back home for the reason I don't think I can be that focus when studying at home, too much distraction and much higher self-discipline required. Subjects I'm taking this semester:

-Advanced Calculus
-Applied Statistical Method
-Linear Algebra
-Development Economics
-Malaysian Economics
-Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia

The subject I struggle the most? Linear Algebra. Seriously, they says, don't judge a book by its cover, trust me, don't judge a subject by it's title. Don't think it has the word "linear", is not hard. Is freaking damn hard. If anyone one of you thinks that matrix is easy, try taking university linear algebra. It brings you to a whole new world of matrix that is so abstract. Try solving 5x5 matrix,. Try making sense of vectors and its rules in 3D spaces. In fact, it is not even restricted to any dimension, it can be 4D, 5D and so on. Theorems and corollary that comes with it, damn a lot. The 600++ page of text book for it, I don't even understand a quarter of it I think. Most of the students fail this subject and less than a handful gets an A. ==

Ok, around 10 mins left, what else should I write? Hmm. Let see, what I'm anticipating now is my 10 weeks summer break, Holidays~ Please come to me as soon as possible. After the holiday ends, a new batch of junior gonna be in, and I'll become senior, nice! For most of the courses including my course, we have the direct senior-junior culture, so it's quite nice if you get a good one. Senior will bring the junior out for trips, makan etc, but the main purpose is so that junior can inherit senior's notes, textbook, materials etc, and ask them if there is any problem. Nice, though I didn't get a good direct senior, but I'm thankful for another senior that given me her stuff. Super helpful for studies.

Alright, I guess that's all for now, as I really don't wanna spend too much time blogging, and 30 mins time frame is up. Cheers.
