fresh books; fresh start

Holiday is almost coming to an end. *SOBS*
And the realization gets even more real after you've collected your academic materials for the coming sem.

Typically at Murdoch@Kaplan,
school fee payment are due two weeks before semester begins;
course material collection starts one week before semester begins.
And if you think about it, it simply makes no sense to go back to school twice when it is HOLIDAY!
My personal trick is to simply pay my fees the day I want to collect your books.
This saves a lot of trouble and time!
Of course, in the week that you haven't paid your fees, the school will send reminder,
but fret not. Nothing will happen to you, really. 
*wink*
Either that, or you can choose to collect your books on the day of your first lesson.
Problem solved!

Since collection of books is for the entire batch of Murdoch students
from IT, PSY, COMM, BIZ...
It's actually quite a large crowd.
Hence, it is common that the school dedicates 2 classrooms (remove the dividing panels to become 1 huge room)
and make it course material collection room for a week.
It looks like this:


I chose to go at some random weekday afternoon and so I was the first and only person collecting.
But on other days, there might be some crowd and it can be common to get wrong books/missing/extra books.
So DO check before you leave !
Each module consist of a unit guide and a binded booklet which consist of the powerpoint slides.
I like how textbooks are included if required for the module so we don't have to go around hunting for textbooks.



Also, the recyclable bags that are given to hold our materials so that we don't have to lug plastic or paper bags.
So thoughtful! (but then again free advertising for them also. haha)
 I would usually pass these bags to my mother who has far more use for them than I do.
And it's interesting to see the evolution of the bag designs. 


For now, I'm going to enjoy the last bit of my holiday.
Have fun in school guys! =D
