Sophomore year.

Went back to school as a sophomore today. It is the start of the 2006/2007 academic year. Our first lecture for the year was Investment Management. A very interesting lecture was delivered by our dearest Miss Koh Siew Min, who taught us Principles of Banking and Finance last year.

The lecture began with a very 'informative' speech by one of Miss Koh's students, Royston, who kept laughing the whole time he was up on the stage. Well, at least he entertained us for a while.

We learnt about derivatives today. Am quite familiar with other financial instruments such as equities and bonds, but derivatives is something new. Found it very interesting and asked a lot of questions during the lecture. I was the only one shooting questions to Miss Koh during the whole lecture. I am surprised by my enthusiasm in the subject. HaHa~!

We were also given two tutorial questions to do. Will start doing the tutorial tomorrow, before I get more from the other lecturers.

Went to the Popular bookstore in school after the lecture to get the IM textbook. There was a very long queue and there was very little space for us to stand around as the area is pitifully small. It was a relief to finally step out of the bookstore after we paid for our purchases. I could hardly breathe in there.

Very happy with my first day of school. Wonder how long that enthusiasm will last in me. Hopefully, it will be there for a very long time. I need to do well.
