After about half an hour or so of trying to reacquaint myself again with the nie virtual learning environment (which carries the very misleading moniker of "geNIEus"), i finally found what i had been quietly dreading all holiday - this upcoming semester's timetable. Actually, now that i take a second look at it, it's not too bad, but i guess after the strangely student-friendly (or more accurately, anyone who does not stay in boon lay-friendly) three/four day timetable last sem, anything else was bound to look bad. And so while i still may entertain lingering thoughts from time to time that nie must be in collusion with the folks at smrt and sbstransit, planning their timetables in such a way as to maximize bus and train revenue collected from those poor things like me who stay far away, again i guess i shouldn't complain so much ya, even if it were not anything to do with starting the new year on a fresh foot kinda thing.
Going back to nie after a good break was never bound to inspire much enthusiasm in me to begin with, though i must admit already in the run up to it starting again on mon, i've already been rolling my eyes aplenty and then some. I'd so love to elaborate, but i don't think that would serve any useful purpose (maybe to vent pent-up steam that i may otherwise save to vent in the face of a prof?). We'll just see how things go in the next couple of weeks ...
