That's The Life

There were occasional cool breezes, as the morning sun which shone above was partially shaded by the dispersing clouds. Just a few footsteps away on the opposite side of the fence, the usual morning crowd was rushing to and from class. On this side of the fence, I sat under a giant green umbrella, glancing left and right as Josh and Hansu exchanged strokes. In my left hand, I held a packet of chilled juice, and in another, I juggled a tennis ball. I leaned back into my seat, took a sip, turned to Josh and said, "That's The Life".

The above paragraph very much describes life here so far after two weeks of lessons, and it very much satisfies one of my main reasons for coming for SEP. I know as the weeks go by, work will start to come in, and things will change a little. But at least I'm sure that it will never reach the level of 'hectic-ness' I experienced for the past four semesters.

On a side note, Elaine said something which was rather thought provoking. I would sum it up using two scenarios of 'slacking'. One, to slack by skipping class, and then studying harder later to catch up when the assignments and exams come. Two, to attend all lessons, and then go into assignments and exams without doing much revision, banking simply on what you have absorbed in class. Question is of course, which is better (slacker)?
