Today I started the first class of my 3rd semester at UiTM, pursuing my PhD in rocket science. 8 semesters feel like forever! As usual I left early meaning to catch a decent parking spot. Come late and chances are you'll have to park by the roadside and risk being clamped by the overzealous college security.

In the afternoon, I hung out at my sister's place at nearby Jalan Betuk. Yes there is such thing as free lunch. I can only go there when her husband's mood is good though and today he's pretty cool. He tried to sell me a taser but I politely declined. He always does that, try to sell me stuff.

First seminar of the semester and already we have tons of work & assignments. Well, we didn't come here to chill did we? There 3 less members of my class this time. Some decided to adjourn their study until next year, some just didn't do enough to make it. In everything you do, it is imperative that you give your fullest focus & commitment to them.

Before you know it, today is my last class for this semester. This is our class picture along with our kind little lecturer, Pn Ayu (far right in white). There used to be so much more students in this class. Half of them either didn't make it from last sem or skipped this last class. Today's class is especially horrid though. Somehow the air-conditioner in our class decided to break down so we had to sit in a hot and stuffy class all day long.

So now we'll wait for the examination time table to come out next month and hopefully study a bit until then. Most of my carry marks are okay but they certainly can be better. I simply must do extremely well in my finals to maintain my good grades.

Amazingly, in between watching Liverpool trash Burnley 4-0 at Anfield, I managed to finish my assignment and just in time to send to the photocopy shop downstairs for binding. I didn't do much reading for my test today though. Plan to do that in class today.

The exam today was obviously difficult, because I only studied last minute. A few boys next to me were blatantly copying from the text book but still had the audacity to peek at my answer sheet. What a loser. Even after opening the text book, still cannot answer one. It's not like I got all my answer correct or something.

One of the tests today was oral, for my single English paper this sem. We had to form a group of four persons and discuss the given topic. I did most of the talking today while the others just blurted a few lines. I simply must score in this English class. The last paper was a tough one. Still after that paper, the lecturer just had to continue with the class. Everybody was already tired and obviously cannot concentrate in class so late in the afternoon.

After class, that's around 6.00 PM I went to pick up Adam at my Mom's place. Adam may be a really naughty boy at times but today he told me he cried when he found out I wasn't around this morning. Poor kid. He's not so used being left behind with other people aside from his parent.

After breaking fast with my Mom, we head straight to the hospital in Kajang. That has become our regular routine every day since Friday and the next few days. Mia found her appetite at last. Although not much but it's an improvement. She still clings to her mother so dearly and cries from time to time. The good news is the doctor said she just might be discharged on Tuesday. The not so good news is her right foot is swollen after they injected her with something yesterday. I pray that it's nothing serious.

Tonight, it's just me and Adam alone at home.

First class of the semester. There were slightly more guys than girls in my class today from a total of 27. I left all my moduls (text book) at home and I had to a peek at the guy and girl sitting next to me whenever I needed to refer to the book. Imagine my difficulty.

I wanted to sit up front this time around but since I arrived late, I had to settle for the usual back of the class spot. Next class, I simply had to come much-much earlier. An hour early at least. Made a few new friends in class today. Okay got to go now. This future librarian must study a bit for our next class on August 2nd. Yeah right.
