Hola

It has been nearly 2 weeks since the Summer terms starts. So far it's pretty mundane, other than International Evening which was super awesome. It beats last year's hands down. The band, 22 (finally settled down to name, if I am not speaking too soon!), was bad assssss. The crowd was bad asssssss too! Imagine everyone standing up, high and clapping/singing along/ screaming/ shouting/ going wild. The atmosphere was yeah, unforgettable! Too bad the talents were not put together sooner or else last year's would have been a blast as well. I'm definitely voting for 22 as the best CTC band! (of course)

I've got some videos of some of the performance. Youtube is useful, haha~ Watch it and love it people!

Supermassive Black Hole.

Regina was obviously pretty nervous... I would be super nervewrecked if I were to open the whole event. Probably pee on the spot or equivalent!

The Scientist.

Rofl on the part when Boobs nearly forgot his line. His voice is (Y)!

You Give Love a Bad Name as encore.

When everybody was hiiiiiiiiigh. :D

The performances weren't as superb as during the practices though... nerves, oh nerves. The pictures are on facebook. Click on the link to view~ :)

For the past 2 weeks, I've done both slacking and studying some bits and pieces. Exams are in less than 20 days time and I'm nowhere near prepared. It's the A Levels, for goodness sake! At this moment, LSE is right in front of this imaginary door. I'm like on the way to grab the key so that I can unlock the door and embrace the university that I've been dreaming of for almost 4 years now. But, will I? I see uncertainties. Obstacles, they will always be there. :/

Speaking of LSE... I actually attended their Visit Day (sort of Open Day for offer holders). It was informative but wasn't sufficient e.g. I didn't really get the insight of what being an LSE student is like. The event was carried out during the Easter holiday so there were barely many students around the campus except the student volunteers and some mugger in the Library. Oooh, the library is awesome! It's really modern, cosy and clean. & very library-like with the tall bookcases and book stacked on them, making you feel like you'r surrounded by books. There's also this huuuuuuge area where you can study, surf the net, blah blah blah. In a nutshell, I like the library. :D

The university actually doesn't remind you of one. Basically the buildings are more of office types rather than blocks of colleges. It's not the kind of university which you always see on dramas which are 99% very campus like surrounded by green, green grass and trees and walk ways and many bicycles... you get my drift. It IS the London School of Economics and Political Science afterall. I would say the buildings suit the university. The lecture halls are very nice too! For Accounting and Finance, we had our subject talk in the Hong Kong theatre. Think high ceiling, law court-inspired design walls and windows that are big and allow plenty of light to flow into the room. ...my description isn't doing much of a help but I like that room a lot! The layout.

I didn't make any acquaintance except for this American chick (according to Shaun) who is unsure on doing Law at LSE/ head back to US of A and do... Biology or something. It's quite a big difference, hmm. We got separated from her halfway though since we decided to skip the Students' Life talk (I attended in the morning session). I didn't get to see Holborn residence too boohoo :( It was too late when we got to the place.

The queue was much longer for the afternoon session (Shaun's Law was in the afternoon whilst mine was in the morning).

Warm and sunny day! :D

There were quite a number of parents who accompanied their kids to the Visit Day, hmm.

Near the main entrance.

LSE Gym. Like, woah.

Le Library. The awesome spiral staircase! It looked bigger when you walk into the library. The point where I took this picture is in the area right outside the library, where you can eat and all that.

I think the girl with the red stockings was posing for me, hmm.

Muggeeeeers!

Tall bookcases filled with books :D

Some meeting room in some new building mainly used by Law and Management students.

It's a pity I didn't take much pictures! It was a brilliant day... :(
