lesson #012: will i be missing out?

There are only two hot topics on the lips of SMU students these days. One of them is soccer, and the other is BOSS. I can still relate to soccer, having watched some of the most frustrating matches (Argentina - Germany, England - Portugal) to date, but I can't join 'em on BOSS. Because I'm going away on exchange.

Rather sad that I can't bid for courses together with my friends. Also stressed out thinking of the course-juggling I'll have to do once I get back, especially hate having to go through the Mod-Term hassle.

Left, right and centre I hear people talking about bidding for FIM together, or IE or Marketing. Courses that I want to take too, but as it is I'll be a term behind.

And behind this sadness of not being able to be part of the hubbub, there's the fear that once I get back, everyone would've found a rhythm of their own and I'd lose not just coursemates, but friends as well.

Guess I'm being silly. Just in case though, I plan to go on MSN as often as I could to bug my SMU pals. You ain't gettin' rid of me so easily! Won't even know that I'm gone!

On to other depressing stuff. England v Portugal: what was that? I guess I should realize that from quarter finals onwards we will no longer be witnessing six goals in a match. It's really sad though 'cos you know that England's defeat was inevitable. Without Owen, Beckham, and Rooney, they haven't got a chance in the penalty shoot-out. It's quite infuriating though 'cos was extremely tired that night but still stayed up to watch, managed to stay awake aaaaaaall the way through the eventless injury / extra times, only to fall asleep before the penalties started. Dayum.

Loads of pictorial updates coming up: outing with the ladies of the Bitch Club (was demoted from VP to Treasurer. BOO! Ms PS, please send over the piccies taken using your phone! And I better not see a particular picture on your Friendster!), then dance prac on Sat followed by Fen's polka-dotty 21st.
