The hustle and bustle of bidding freshies.

Yes, today was the last day to place our bids for Round 1C. Argh. I can't believe we have to go through this every semester! Its a stomach knotting, nerve wrecking process/experience and ah, shucks, I'm bummed that we have to go through this again, for 4 years.

I'm praying really really hard I'll get my modules. I go under the kiasu category because I spent all my 600 points.

Its such a shitty feeling to be so uncertain about the modules we're taking -- whether we'll get it or not, whether we have to replan our timetable, etc etc. And the worse part is in the last two hours because the system doesn't show you the minimum bid OR the highest bid. So that sucks. Its a gamble, a risk you must take. I guess that's it. Life's a risk. You have to take chances. I have to take chances, something which I know I must do, but I dread doing.

Because I don't like the feeling of uncertainty.

Looking on the bright side, I guess no matter how screwed up I think the bidding system is, people DO graduate from NUS and it IS ranked 18th in the world, so I guess its not so bad. Maybe I'll get used to it.

Oh well.
