lesson #57: gossiping is healthy

Went to SMU today for a so-called academic briefing (woken up by phone call at 8.45 am when briefing was at 9 - shit!). But actually for the first hour they were just promoting the notebooks/tablet PCs as well as showing photos taken at the Sentosa retreat (there were a LOT of photos of my group! How embarrassing... our hair was half-matted by sea water and we were grinning away like idiots)... Anyway then things got serious and the Dean showed us some possible combinations for double degrees as well as second majors. I'm still undecided on whether I should take Law as a second major, or Psychology. Psychology seems really interesting, and I do love poking into people's minds *evil laughter* but Law is very closely related to Accounting. If I do Law, I'd only have to do 32 courses in total. I'll have to add more courses for Psych (about 4 more?) but I don't really mind... So I'm still weighing the pros and cons.


Oh, have I told you that I'm not really that great with making decisions? This is gonna be fun.


Anyway, after the briefing there was a reception (free food! yay! But was so oily...) and the freshies were persuaded to go to a bash at Chinablack on the 19th of Aug. I wasn't really keen on it from the start, but suddenly a whole bunch of people say they're going, so okay, I'll just go with the flow. Peer pressure... how sad huh?


Afterwards, met up with Jing at KAP. Essentially our meeting is just for me to pass her a pair of jazz pants (she needs it for rag performance) but we ended up gossiping for hours. And we ate large fries!! Oh my gosh. So sinful. We talked about guys, and somehow the convo stirred towards That Fateful Mambo Outing (see post re: big nose). Turns out that one of her guy friends who were with us that night told her this - 'the way you girls were dancing that night, it's really asking for it.' As in, really asking to be touched by guys. Errm, okay. So what, he's saying that we looked cheap and slutty? That we looked EASY?? Bloody hell. I think there were some comments about us dancing like lesbians as well, but whatever.


Going for the dance comm service again tomorrow. Hopefully everything will go smoothly. At least Su will be there, so I won't have to try and discipline the kids. Not very comfortable with that, especially since one of the boys reminds me so much of N. Not appearance-wise, but more like his whole attitude, stance, and the way he chews gum... does that sound weird?
