let's bid

finally it's the end of the quiet weekend.. i never realised it could get so quiet around here.. if i were to stay alone i'd prolly go mute hehe.. i started writing this wanting to talk about the interviews i just had, which i totally blew, but on the second thought i should just let it go and look forward to the rest half of the quarter dee kwa.. it's bidding time again, and i still have no idea what course to bid for spring.. for those who wonder, we have to compete for classes here.. so each year you're given a limited amount of points you can use to bid for what course you wanna take.. first years get 2000 cuz we bid for 2 quarters; second years get 3000.. if you go for something really popular, mostly b/c of the professor, then you have to bet how high it can go.. the cost to you is the points bid by the last person who get into the class.. so if everyone thinks alike, then you can save a lot of points.. on the other hand if the class is not full, then u only waste one point - it's free basically.. this is kinda fun actually, given that i got all my classes the last time and still have a lot left for this round :) i was lucky, the good ones i got which is the later section cost me less than the morning section.. people wanna wake up early or what?!?! (i will never take 830am class again! definitely not a morning person!) later i found out some of them have conflicts wt other classes.. so there you go, bidding strategy.. b-school teaches you more than you think :P
