School: Day 1 - First Class
The commute there was less horrific than I expected - I take my regular bus to Clementi, then change to the MRT, then wait for the feeder into NTU. Takes slightly over an hour and a half to get there, which is less than my projected 2 hours. There's also not too much hassle - there's a bit of a crowd on the MRT between Clementi and Jurong, but that's just one station, and everyone clears out after that. So all in all, quite an easy journey. I think it also helped that the 179 was waiting to leave just as I got into Boon Lay, so there wasn't much of a wait there. Getting back was equally easy.
Then I attended my first lecture in over 1.5 years. The class was alright - the professor was a typical bumbling old man, but he looks like he's a bumbling old man with a still-functioning brain. Talking with some of my classmates during the break, I realised that I was confused about what the graduation requirements were for my course - on some web pages, there is a clear distinction between the Research and Coursework Masters Degrees, but on a lot of pages, the distinction is not clear - sometimes, there doens't seem to be a distinction at all, which is rather alarming as it means more coursework for me (but a thinner dissertation.) Gonna check it all out tomorrow.
