Mid of Week 2

Been back about 10 days now. It feels so much longer than that!! Feel like I've never left. Lol.

Managed to ride out the heat wave. Thank goodness it's over for now. Temperature is dropping 1 degree daily. The day is less hotter now and some of the breeze are quite cooling. Cheers! Much cooler at night so I've been sleeping better. Will be sleeping earlier tonight to pay back my sleep debt. =)

Made 2 of my friends angry. Sigh. Seriously, I have no idea why they are upset after I have explained!? This is what happened. I left a note on my potential supervisor's door to ask if I can meet him on 2 Feb, 1pm, since he's away on leave. After class ended at 12.30pm, I went to find him to check if he's free. He was not in the office. As I was leaving that floor, I saw him and two of my friends walking past so I followed them since I wanted to check about the meeting. In his room, he asked if we all wanted to see him about thesis supervision and we said yes. He replied that he won't be able to see us that afternoon as he has many meetings. I wanted to check with him whether one of these meetings was with me, since I left him a note. So I waited for my friends to leave before asking him whether his meeting included me. He said yeah, and started talking to me about possible thesis topics.

I found out the next day that my 2 friends were angry. They thought I was rude as I talked to him alone and close the door. I was like... huh!? I then explained to them about the note... 3 times! As they were too pissed to listen to my explanations. While I was explaining, I started getting pissed. Why do I have to explain so many times?! And why do I have to explain my actions to u!? So after my explanations, they said that they r not angry anymore... yeah right. Today we only said hi and bye. Go figure whether they r still angry or not.

After my explanation, they asked me how long I stayed with the supervisor. I told them 15 mins, since the topic I wanted to do seems to have been taken by someone else. I thought to myself then... why does it matter how long I talked to him!? U gals are meeting him today! There's only 1 day difference!! There's not much things I can get done within 1 day! I didnt tell them that he gave me a new topic to search... as he's interested in updating that topic too. I suppose I was feeling quite unhappy then... like why do I have to report everything ? *mutter*

So yeah, that's been my days since I got back... endured the heat wave, angered 2 of my friends, trying to confirm thesis topic, getting involved in the international students orientation (I was a packer today!), trying to motivate myself to start exercising (fencing club president smsed that practices have resumed), looking for a weekend job and arranging for my 2nd and 3rd placement.
