justifying my absence from classes

attended my first "metallic materials" class this morning, and i come to a conclusion... that is, 2 less reasons to feel guilty over the pending absence from class from 11 Dec to 22Dec... that !@#$%^ lecturer was showing the you-mean-you-don't-know-it-but-i-don't-care kind of attitude this morning... and the way he speaks or rather slurrrr.... argh!!!

yes, in case you are wondering why am i skipping classes in dec, i'm coming home!! hmmm... original plan was to come back only in feb 2007, cos of the red packets to cushion the cost of an air-ticket, but unfortunately that period of time coincides with my where-is-your-assignment-and-examinations dates, so i have no choice but to come back in dec... but i promise myself that the next Xmas will be spent staring at the falling snow through the window.... will definitely be in germany or denmark then...

oh, let me get back to the main topic, i will have to skip 10 days of classes... of course i'm going to tell my dad that i skipped only 1 week =P he does not read this blog...

10 days?!?! in my 4 years in ntu, i think i had never missed more than 5 days of classes so skipping 10 days this time really made me feel bad, cos i will not only miss the core modules, i will probably miss 4 days of german + 4 days of portugese (this,... err... i don't really care that much) + 1 visit to a glass-making factory & 1 presentation (hmmm... this one is really tricky, have to talk to the coordinator soon, as presentation accounts for 30% of the final grade)... and many other things will be missed too...

10 reasons to be guilty (to represent the 10 days of classes) - 2 reasons (metallic materials classes on 2 fridays) = 8 reasons to be guilty...

err... think i feel slightly better already... =)
