stumble, mumble, trouble

The past two days basically can be summarised with these three words. Stumbling into people I don't know, then forming groups with them, while they talk to me, I'll mumble back a reply. With the groups formed, all the troubles just come swarming in. Projects, assignments, presentations and so much more.

The first thing due will be the user manual, done in group of threes, then software engineering project, then preparing to give a lecture on week 6, next to form group for database project, and finally forming group for the group presentation of tutorial answer.

And while in lecture today, I happened to sit beside this guy who didn't bring a laptop, and so asked to share so that he will be able to see what the software the lecturer gave does. During the interval, he suddenly pops up a question "Where do I stay?". I was kind of surprised by the phrasing since usually people asks where i live, nevermind, so I told him. He was surprised by the answer, and told me "oh, I thought you were a chinese..". That puzzled me further. Then the conversation went on to talk about the influence of the U.S. and U.K. on us, and I wasn't really into this sort of topics, so I just tried to smoke it through.

This sem is the sem to remember, never were there so many things presentations in a single semester. Though I don't mind giving small talks, I always freezes up in front of audiences and cameras, familiarity with the topic and audiences will help matter, but it seems that none of the presentations will have both qualities.

Therefore one can conclude that I'm in for it..
