Mid Term Week
The past week was mid term week here at CUHK, and as tienkwan puts it in her blog, the focus of mid terms on exchange doesn't just simply mean tests and assignments, but more of the fact that we are already halfway through our term. Considering that most of the deadlines are packed into the second half of our term, I'm very sure it would whizz past much faster than the first half did. Before we know it, we'll be on our way back home.
Mid terms week was the worse week for me so far here in CUHK, with one test, assignments and project meetings, but the level of stress and fatigue is comparably still far from what I had back home. The only woe I really have now is sociology. In some way I'm really glad that I have learnt alot more about sociology, because in true fact it's quite interesting. But I'm starting to wonder though why sociologists have to write in such a 'hard to understand' way, when the objective of writing was to allow others to read and understand.
Ok that aside, I am really grateful for knowing the Korean guys. Together with them, we Singaporeans have somewhat formed a soccer team, and we're playing regularly every week. We're even taking part in some school league, and have even printed our own jerseys. Well the whole team is actually wearing Arsenal's jersey, wasn't my choice, but I'll go with whatever makes the majority happy. But in my own personal opinion, the league and competition, that's secondary. Being able to play reguarly, be it competitively or leisurely, that's primary.
I had always wanted to play soccer here, so when my college had this soccer trials, I went for it but it didn't work out. Was probably too unfit and not good enough, although I had problems fitting in too as every single thing they said was in cantonese. Even the coach kinda treated us exchange students like we were not there, giving a debrief after the game and just walking off without translating. So after the trials I was thinking, that was it, there goes my plans of soccer here in HK. But now it's all worked out well and fine. Phew!
