Haven't been sleeping well for the last two days. Kept waking up after sleeping barely past 5 hours and couldn't sleep after that. I'm not sure if it's because of jet-lag - it's been almost a week since I come back and I don't think I should still be suffering from jet-lag. I hope it's not because I'm already stressed with the amount of work I have because it's only the first week of school!
School has been pretty good so far and I like all the classes I'm taking this semester. But I don't think this will be a slack semester for me, even though my schedule looks relatively easy on paper. Taking 1 project class (in applied math, like a version 2 of financial engineering haha) and another class (corporate finance) which has a capstone project instead of final. I don't know how I'm going to cope dealing with more projects after last semester, but it's no use to think too much about it and besides, in the real world, I'll be working on projects and not doing homeworks or taking exams!
Homeworks have been coming thick and fast too. I already have 3 due on Tuesday and 1 homework + 1 quiz on Friday. I thought I would have more free time this semester, but I'm not so sure of it now. I don't want to spend my last semester doing schoolwork only! There are still a number of things I want to do before I graduate and leave, and time is gradually running out. Then again, if I keep telling myself that I have no time to do this and that because I'm too busy with work, I'm never going to find the time to do them.
Still missing home. Why oh why??
