With the release of our results last Friday, I am officially a graduate (or soon-to-be)! YAAYY! Despite it being my final semester of 4 years, my CAP still managed to crawl that little bit. WAHAHAHA. Convocation happens in July but before I chuck my textbooks and notes into the recycling bin and swap my casuals for tailored pants and button down shirts, here’s one last look at a Tuesday in my life as an honours student in NUS.

WARNING: Image Heavy!

My first class on Tuesdays begin at 9am. For that, I have to drag myself out of bed at 7am. What an ungodly hour. Im rather impressed I managed to snap this picture before my brain has actually woken up.

I decide to wear my funky black and white high socks that very day. After promptly dressing, it’s time to trudge to the station and jostle with the morning crowd.

The people at my station are obedient. Keep LEFT please.

There is a swelling crowd for the train.

The worst part about having class so early in the morning is having to jam-pack yourself into the trains with the rest of the office-going world. Sometimes you run the risk of having a nose job done without your consent; the train doors close just inches from your nose. But since most of them get off at either City Hall, Raffles Place or Tanjong Pagar, I manage to plonk myself down into a much coveted seat for the rest of my 30 minute journey. It the side seats by the glass! Hahaha! My favourite kind.

Look how empty the train is already.

I make good time for class. I am early for once! Wahaha.

Once at Clementi, we’re only halfway to class.

Waiting to cross to the temporary interchange.

I meet a friend on the way. The day’s looking good so far. Tis a good day!

Mmmm… The 96 queue is empty. That’s a first. They set up those extra barricades for us commuters of 96 because the queue snakes like no body’s business during peak periods. Lol.

The favourite number of every NUS student. They even have free Wi-Fi on it! But who has time to log on when the journey’s so short.

Here comes the bus!

96A. Special bus not because it’s free. But because got “A” grade. Haha.

Going to class.

AS7. We have class in the Dean’s office!
NOT.

A big warning greets us before we enter the class seminar room. At the Honours level, it is no longer called a classroom. Too low CLASS already. Haha!

I print my notes in school because my printer refuses to obey me. Sometimes, I photocopy the notes from classmates, before rushing to the canteen to buy my poison.

Fill ‘er up!

When all that’s done, I head back to class.

Today we’ll have a class in Methods in Social Psychology.

Walking along the not-so-unbeaten track.

And class begins with Sage Tong looking cool next to his “podium”.
Note: We dont all call our professors Sage. Tis just a nickname.

We have group discussions in class. Everyone looking serious and thinking hard about the thought-provoking questions.

While other people catch some shut eye.

After 3 hours of Social Psychology (which I scored a sweeeeeeet A- for), it is time for our second class of the day, Human Psychophysiology.

It’s 12 NOON la.

Hardworking students consult our lecturer before the class starts.

While I run to the canteen a second time that day to grab my life-saver.

I munch on some bread to keep myself awake.

Another 3 hours fly by, and we’re finally done for the day! YAYYYY.

It is lunch time!

Adjourning to the canteen!

Having lunch at 3 means not having to deal with an overcrowded canteen. Seats are a-plenty.
See the pretty stars on the ceiling of our newly renovated canteen? Apparently they light up during the night.

This is lunch for some…..

while others prefer to tuck into a decent meal.

The day though done, does not end there for me. I had to go to the studio for rehearsal before my phone died. But not before snapping this picture.

HOORAY FOR FREEDOM!
GRADUATE LOHHHHH!
