Year Two Final Semester

Time flies...I can't believe week 4 for this semester ended just like that. This is the final semester for my Advanced Diploma in TARC...as usual, feels like I didn't learn anything yet this semester...LOL.

Yesterday, LJMU came to the college to "sell" the University...I'm quite disappointed with the presentation as they told us the same thing as the previous year. And the slides are the same! Unbelievable...they told us what to expect for our studies during the program and stuff...and also fees! haha

When they briefed us about our accommodation, my eyes started to fill with tears. I'm not sure what I heard the presenter said, the college hall sound system was terrible, I heard that they say students will have to share a toilet, we will have our own bathroom - to bath. Then I don't what happened, I think they said there's no toilet bowl in our own toilet in the room...I was like: "Do I have to go out of my room everytime I need to pee or poo?" And share it with other people?!

I almost cried in the college hall when I thought I have to share toilet-bowls with the other students! I don't want to go out of the room to pee or poo everytime...those toilet will definitely smell bad or be really dirty!!! But according to my memory, (LOL) the pictures I saw from my senior Facebook, the toilet has a basin, shower, and a toilet-bowl....so who on earth heard the wrong stuff and gave me a big fright!!!

After all the hoo-hah talk from the university, everything finally started to sink in, they told us we just need to bring 3 sets of clothes there as the summer sales there is crazy and everything is really cheap! I was like, if everyone goes to the summer sale and buy the same clothes together then won't everyone be wearing the same thing? =.=" but it sounds really tempting, seniors said the luxury we could only afford is either Starbucks or sandwiches...harh...I was like, that's so sad...I'm gonna lose weight if Sandwich is the "luxury" students only can get...so what's the non-luxurious stuff? And I'm not a Starbucks or coffee addict so I can live without it!

Then another problem: choose your housemates, each house will have 5-6 people, so I guess I don't have many choice here...to choose the housemates. And apparently they hinted me I'll be cooking for everyone...I don't think I will have the mental strength and energy to cook a nice meal for myself when I'm so far away from home...which really scares me when I think about it...the lucky thing is that no one smokes maybe except for one of the guys...the senior, I don't really know him and we're not sure whether is he planning to go or not...

Family is planning to buy an apartment in UK, but no decision has been made where to buy yet...first choice is in London and I think the second choice will be in Bath...to buy an apartment in UK is really a big investment...because it's in  pounds...and a two room apartment cost around 185-300K in London!!! Convert it to RM it will cost $$$...of course you need time to think carefully whether is it worth buying...too bad the University is in Liverpool and the apartment is either in London or Bath...so no point dreaming of not staying in the hostel...haih...

I think I better stop worrying about all this Degree program thingy...I have yet to complete my thesis and whole Advanced Diploma course yet...and it's only week 5 next week...9 more weeks to go...ugh...another thing, everyone is planning to apply for the Kojadi loan...should I apply too? for emergency use in UK or whatever reason...but the interest rate is quite high...argh...pass everything in college first and worry about all this later...
