Seriously la,today is damn screwed up. So we could have actually gone home at 3 right,but due to ms tay's overwhelming concern for us (hur hur),she signed us and her other physics class up for this workshop on EMI. Only these 2 classes T15 and T16. So we were made to wait till 1630,then have 2 classes wedged into the class of T13,and made to seat there and have an involuntary (and I emphasize involuntary) lesson. With 2 NTU lecturers.
Am I finished? Heck no i'm not. The damn workshop had to start at an ungodly period of time when it had stopped raining. Furthermore the rain was what you would call a humid rain,so the after effects left T13 with a super warm classroom,guaranteed to make anyone drowsy in an instant. And that's precisely what happened to me,and I kinda dozed off momentarily on a few occasions.
Worse still,the whole lesson was being videoed down. And somehow the table I was at became the 'main base' for one of two camcorders present. A voice recorder was set on our table as well. In other words I felt like the table I was in lived in an Orwellian universe for 2 hours! Wouldn't be nice to be caught 'mysteriously' nodding your head or having some foul words coming out from your mouth.
Result? A sleep-inducing,pissed off and Orwellian lesson. The great news? There's another session next Monday. Thank the Lord for the smallest of mercies,we're given the TDC as our venue. So hopefully it won't be so bad next time round.
I know parents all over the world would be like "hello,you're a student,so the least you can do is stop bitching about it. You only know how to complain about your teachers. Ms Tay was just being concerned about our understanding and wanted to help you guys. Why can't you see things from the teacher's perspective?". At least I know for sure my mom would say that.
But hey here's my response. The very least you can do is understand the circumstances that this workshop occured in. The frustration at having to stay on in what has already been a very draining day and all. Coming from the personal perspective,it all boils down to fatigue and unwillingness to be trapped in an educational prison for long periods of time!
Some of you might very well disagree with me,I can understand. But at the very least this comes from a not-so-willing prisoner of our educational system. Seriously,I think I'll go nuts if anyone else try to remind me to start studying. So pls guys,DON'T DO IT.
Needless to say I'm pretty pissed. To the more studious ones of this world: have a great night ahead mugging,cuz I'm gonna turn in and try to pretend nothing happened today. Chao.
"Triple X" Jackson out.
