School has started, but the feeling has yet to sink in fully, especially with the extended weekend this week. For one, the workload hasn't been that bad, but I'm sure the homework will come thick and fast soon. I get the feeling that I'm expected to do readings on my own, but I'm not doing them. Oh well. First week really does feel relatively slack though, as we seem to have time to play tennis, play pool, etc. I wonder how the coming weeks will be like.

Classes have been pretty okay, I hope. The one that I think will be the most difficult is Probability, which is partly why I'm thinking of switching to an easier Stats course. I have to decide soon, but I just hate making decisions (doesn't help that I'm also a very indecisive person). I seem to be afraid of dropping the class..I have no idea why. The professor is actually quite good, but the course is just too theoretical for my liking and I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle it. But well, they prefer Comp Finance majors to take the harder course. Still thinking about it.

My favorite course so far: Child Psych. It is just downright fun and interesting. And watching the videos of children doing silly/cute things during lectures just make me like the course more. Not to mention that the professor is also very entertaining and funny.

Speaking of professors, each of my professor speaks a different accent (I think). Accounting professor has a Japanese accent (according to Jessica, but I'm still not sure). Probability prof has an undetermined (as of now) accent, but whenever he says "omega" (referring to set of all possible outcomes), I keep on thinking he says "oh my god!". Haha. Really. So each time, I'd be like, why is he saying "oh my god?" then I'd realize that he said "omega". Economics theory prof has a slight indian accent and he speaks really softly. Macroecons prof has a french accent(!) but speaks in a monotonous tone which unfortunately makes him very boring. Child psych prof has a british accent. And finally, finance prof speaks in a normal American accent. Well, I don't really care about accents and such, but it's something that I find quite interesting.

I don't know what's bothering me, but I seem to get more easily pissed and irritated these days. I wonder why.
