#87 | T-12 to Sem 3.1
The new semester is approaching
Nobody knows what to expect because
1. It's home-based learning
2. Nobody briefed us on what to expect/do.
Instructions by lecturers are a mess.
Some lecturers have yet to even allow us to see the contents of the module.
hello? I need to download slides & the SOW for 3.1 yeah.
Pls, grant the student access ASAP gdi the class is at 11AM tomorrow.
And they say students are not well prepared
11 more hours until the new semester... I honestly have no idea what to expect and the worst part? It's remote learning & we have to video call for some of the modules. Let me just say this once and for all.
I fucking hate video calls.
I would much rather travel 1.5 hours to school than attend classes via video calls. All the affected students have received emails to 'dress appropriately' for classes tomorrow. Uh hello? The last time I checked, I'm at home and when I'm at home, I can dress however I want. This means if I choose to appear in an oversized t-shirt to hide the fact that I'm not wearing a bra, it's my problem & you have no rights to penalize me for it.
That being said, it doesn't mean I'll do whatever I just typed... I still have respect for the lecturers. The least I'll do is change out of my pajamas and wear a bra. I am not going to put on lipstick, draw my eyebrows or do up my hair or put on my nicer clothes. Nope. That's too much effort & it's only for a 2-hour video call (or lesser). 
And is it just me or does anyone else feel weird wearing your 'going out' clothes at home? Like I'm sure everyone has their standard home clothes that they wear to sleep/just wear around at home & then another set of clothes that they wear when they going out to the malls, shopping, etc. Don't you feel weird wearing this set of clothes at home or is it just me?
2-hour video call tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. Not even one bit. Nope. I'm just curious about what the lecturer is planning for tomorrow since they did not allow us to see any of the contents. It's all locked up ๐
I just received a piece of good news!! My mentor canceled tomorrow's 10am class so the first class only starts at 11am (well, for this week only). My mentor seems like a nice person from the messages she has been sending to the class so I'm hoping she is genuinely nice in person as well & not just online
Please bless me with wonderful, unbiased & competent lecturers for my final year ๐ค๐ป
Enough about the new semester for awhile. I wanna talk about the dreamies (NCT DREAM) comeback. SM finally announced that the NCT DREAM & all 7 original dreamies will be in a fixed unit & that has been the best news of 2020 so far (for me at least).
But, SM has yet to release any teasers yet.
It's so annoying because the comeback, according to SM, is supposed to be on 29 April 2020.
It's already 20 April tomorrow which means there's only 9 days left before the comeback. How tf are they going to release all the members + MV + album preview out in time?
I feel like they're gonna rush this comeback ๐damn you SM.
Everyone on my TL is counting down every night to 12AM KST to see whether SM would release anything & we have been getting cheated for the past 3 nights? I scrolled through twitter again earlier on & it seems like we might be getting something tonight? NCT DREAM's instagram account just uploaded 2 more photos which caused their BOOM teasers to be aligned. #fingerscrossed Hopefully we really get something tonight. Otherwise, I won't know how many albums to preorder.
yes, I'm going to preorder the albums.
I made a deal with myself that if NCT DREAM ever became a fixed unit, I would buy the first album they come out with after SM announces that it. Now, SM has announced that they're a fixed unit & they're coming back but SM has not released any details of the comeback or the album so I don't know how many copies to actually purchase...
Initially, I planned to buy just 1 set (both versions) but I saw people selling their extra albums (which they preordered from NCT Dream Chinese fansites because of the gifts) for a cheap price.
So now, I'm contemplating whether to buy from them as well since it's cheaper but the current price isn't inclusive of shipping fees to SG & my house. Neither is it the full price (it's just a deposit) + the waiting time is estimated to be 3-12 months long ๐ญ
I don't know if I want to wait that long for the albums & I'm afraid that after shipping & everything else, it's going to be the same price as the album I preordered myself online.
SM, CAN YOU HURRY UP AND POST UP THE DETAILS ALREADY????
Okay, I've finished my SM rant, the chores are all done & I'm well-rested during the holidays. This break felt very long actually. I guess it's because I've been staying in SG for the entire semester break? Usually, I would fly over to Thailand but this time around, I stayed in SG for the entire 2-month break because of COVID-19 (damn you virus. please go away)
Since I've rested well during the 'long' break, I'm looking forward to year 3 & the new semester. Hopefully, year 3 and semester 3.1 go well. Praying for myself to get nice, competent & unbiased lecturers.
