Wednesday, August 8

a day in the life of an NUS bidder.

0900 hs - turn on computer and log on to cors.
0915 hs - throw in all your points for selected module.
1230 hs - one last check for open bidding.
1232 hs - notice that you have been outbidded.
1233 hs - curse and swear at every other student who has more points than you.
1240 hs - panic and start looking for new and cheap modules (20 minutes left to close bidding)
1243 hs - call friends and find out which modules are easy and cheap and what they are doing.
1250 hs - realise that there is NOTHING.
1300 hs - bidding closes. fuck.
1310 hs - check list of modules and realise that every module is fucking expensive.
1311 hs - curse and swear even more.
1400 hs - after much thinking and checking and calling and cursing and swearing, more cursing and swearing, you begrudgingly select a sucky module and cross your fingers the upcoming semester wont be as bad as you think it is.

Hey so sorry for missing your call today! Was working. And you know la... cannot bring camera phone. When I called after work I couldn't get through your phone. Heard from Parvin your phone had died. Wanted to tell you I'll be taking forensic science. Heard you will be taking gem1008. Don't worry. It is super easy and quite slack! ;) You'll be fine!!
