Send me stuff!

It's the middle of the first week of school and the workload here is pretty heavy, at least relatively to sg. Alot of continual assessments and a pretty even distribution of coursework to grades.

But in america, the modules are really much more fun; interesting to attend and listen because of the first amendment rights. almost everything is open to discussion, no taboos in the classroom.

Another difference is the horrigibous price differentials in textbooks and course materials, like three or four fold. I.e. a textbook that costs 35 SGD would be like 120 USD. So i'm trying to order and ship from sg.

Campus life is great because the environment here is very free. everything is on your own time. Ergo; responsible for pre-reading up before classes and doing assignments because those aren't covered at all during class, just used as the basis of tangential discussion. Learning curve, i think, is very steep; and prior to coming, i thought it would be quite a holiday because the students here are all slack.

Oh well, this week we'll be going to the aquarium and riding segway scooters and cnn center and stuff. So i'll post pics i hope. If i can get an SD card reader by then.
