After our last practical at Changi Beach, today's the animal diversity practical in which our lecturer told us to be prepared mentally and physically. Haha..I hope I am. It's another 1 hour plus later.
This semester is getting busier than the previous one. Maybe because I'm taking more modules with assignments and group project. Just submitted my law mid-term paper. I redo it for 3 times so hopefully the final one is OK. This weekend we'll be having our second econs assignment. And our physics term paper is due the week after that. It's going to go on like this for the rest of the semester.
I totally agreed with what Eelin blog about. Uni life is only partially FUN. And I would say the fun comes from the friends around us. What I look forward to everyday is not attending the long boring lectures but rather the chance to meet up with friends during lunch time or maybe just a simple chat. And what's fun about doing projects? It's being able to know new friends and maintain them even after the projects are completed. I really don't know how long I can survive without them walking into my uni life. And definitely the competitiveness in people are not something that I enjoy. It's just putting more stress on each other.
We had our open house last weekend. I was quite disappointed that the photographers went missing. How can they not informed me if they are not able to make it or at least why did they gone uncontactable? I wished I didn't have to do the sports club duty then I can at least help them take some of the photographs which I did before starting my shift. But of course also thanks to people who are willing to help although I contacted them last minute. Really grateful for that.
And this week during the law lecture, our lecturer told us that she'll need to postpone the next lecture as she had to travel. I just don't understand how can she just postpone the lessons just like that. She should at least consider that we might be having another lesson during that time. Why did we need to bid for the lecture in the first place if there's no fix timing? OK I admit I don't really like this lecturer. I have a feeling that she doesn't even prepare for lessons. She's always going there every week and reading from the piece of paper. I even wonder if she prepared the slides on her own.
Another interesting thing that happened during this week's lecture is Mark and Jahabar trying to get "famous" on the web cast during our Physics lecture. Haha..it was during the lecturer's demonstration that they let out a loud "waaa". Super funny. But I told them later that it might not be captured on the web cast coz they usually don't take in the surrounding sound meaning they take it directly from the lecturer's mike. So we will not be able to hear them on the web cast. But we have yet to check it out. Haha..maybe I shall watch during the weekend to see if there's any:P
This Wednesday was the 'super critical' group's turn to present. They never failed to raised a question during every group's presentation and trying to point out people's "mistakes". But this time was their turn to make a major mistake. They used a totally not good example and making certain assumptions. So our tutor questioned their project examples. As always, they often do not admit they are wrong and thus trying to find their way out, given all sort of reasons for them choosing the "wrong" example. In the end, the tutor still thinks that the example is not a good one. Lesson for our group, make sure we chose examples that we can relate to our every day life and be specific to avoid being "killed". Haha..super exaggerating hor:P
