One Week. Almost Done.

AY 2007/08 Fall Semester has started off nice and quiet. I am uber excited for classes this semester. I am back with this total zest for learning and absorbing everything thrown at me. Kind of like how I was when I first started out in Year 1 before getting totally distracted, jaded and demoralised. 3 years on, with battle bruises and emotional scars, I am back, more mature and with more purpose. I am motivated to get the best out of the next few months. Plenty of career and industry talks for the graduating student and to appease the curious cat in me.

The courses I am doing this semester are exciting:

ACCT201 Corporate Reporting and Financial Analysis

ECON107 Applied Econometrics

COMM360 Investor Relations

ECON118 Economic Development in Asia

MGMT301 Business Study Mission: Israel

COMM205  Public Relations Writing (TA)

The BSM to Israel will culiminate in a visit to Haifa and Tel-Aviv in December which is SOOO exciting. I hope all goes well; I’m putting down my deposit for it tomorrow. As much as I don’t want to dream too much about it and just concentrate on the course (which in itself absolutely interesting to a closet geek like me since it is about business synergies and possibilities in the high tech and defence industries.. plus the middle east has so much of history..), I can’t help but start thinking about visiting places like Jordan (Petra!!) and Jerusalem.

Can you feel my excitement? Heh. In other stuff, I have decided to become a bit more ourgoing and cheerful this semester. Instead of scowling and looking down as I walk, to smile more and look happier. Make more solid friendships and nuture existing ones. I kinda suck at the maintaining friendships part… so if I have asked you for your address and not sent you anything… fret not.. it’s coming SOON.

I have also taken to be a more responsible person. Exercising every day, cutting down on nasty food, not pissing off my parents while doing everything I can to test my limits (heh)…. the list goes on and I can’t say it any other way.. I am happy!

Hope you are all having a good time as I am. Now I need some sleep before a long day ahead!
