Day 37: Section BBQ and thoughts about campus exchange

Nothing quite like a section BBQ to really kickoff the 2nd half of P1. Can't believe we're more than halfway through P1 already!

It's the first time that we've organised a section only BBQ but I think it's great idea as it's a less intimidating way for partners to mix and mingle and for us to really get to know each other outside of class. As mentioned before, I do feel like I'm missing out on getting to know people due to my lack of participation in weekend trips to date and the simple fact that I don't live 10 mins walk from school like most of my classmates.

I was particularly impressed by how well planned it was. There were a total of 3 BBQ pits fully cooking away when we arrived. We ended up with waaay too much food and beer but that's hardly a bad problem to have to deal with. ;)

I had initially thought that I would start in France for 2 periods then stay in Singapore for the last 3 but as fate would have it, I've started in Singapore and am tempted to just stay here all the way now. People have been trying to convince me to go to France for at least a period and I can see why it would be a good idea (despite the hassle) because a chance like this only comes around once in a lifetime. That being said, I don't think it's such a clear cut decision (it never is). Something to really think about over the next few days as the deadline for decisions in in little over a week's time.
