finally the three-day block mode course has ended! what i get is a big pile of notes and a few assignments. met my supervisor dr davidson and he told me that i have to meet him tomorrow to get some lecture notes (he's also my lecturer in another course which is held on mondays which i missed this week), and the most important thing is : assignment! that means i've got at least 2 assignments which i haven't had a clue what they're all about, on top of one more which will be given tomorrow.... hmm, wicked i should say, as life had never been this meaningful. for the past 4 days, what i have been doing are studying, sleeping. if i could stay on like this for the next 18 months (!!! yeah, 18months...) i could just produce something out of this course, hopefully. there's a thesis which i haven't had the time, not even 15 mins, to put my hand on.... oh yeah, got my keys to my post grad office yesterday. it was above my expectation as i thought i'd get just a desk with nothing else, .... hehe, at least there's a pretty big window with plenty of sunlight! hmm, life is starting to get better ya... (hopefully) ^^ although (here's the bad side of it...) i got a ticket from the city council for 'breach of time limit'... what the hell is that? i thought. that morning, i couldn't find a carpark in the university, so i found this very tiny carpark (which is not illegal) but the time limit was 120 mins. without too much consideration, i parked there and went straight for my lecture. after less than two hours (before 11am) i came back to my car and found a space just in front of where my car was parked. perfect! i thought. this was too good to be true, i didn't have to look for another parking space. after lecture i went back to get my car and what i found was this bloody ticket! you can say that i have exceeded the time limit, but here's the point: the ticket was issued at 12.18 at noon! this is not a good thing! i parked my car at a new spot at 11am but i got a ticket at 12.18 , does that make sense? no, it does not!.. i have nothing to argue about if i got a ticket issued after 1pm, but 12 something??? u must be kidding me mate...
