How should I begin? Well, as most of you might already know, I complain about the size of the campus quite often. It’s really big and getting from one place to another takes up time and energy. I admit, I asked for it but I’m happy. At least I’m getting my daily exercise by hopping from block to block to get to my classes and going to and fro from my place to campus everyday.
However, I can say that it’s starting to take its toll on me. I’m getting very sleepy at early hours of the night, for instance, around 8pm I will start to feel sleepy already! Early isn’t it? My eyes are getting heavier by the minute and all I want to do is just to close and reopen them when I near NaengMyun playing. That’s my alarm for those who are curious. Fast beat song, perfect to wake me up in the morning at 6am to get to my 8 am class.
Assignments haven’t officially begun yet cause we haven’t receive either our company names or countries to do research on. Thank goodness for that but by this weekend I should be quite busy, so that’s why I’m writing this now, when I should be doing my General Maths tutorial. It’s ok, I only have around 3 questions left, I can slack off for a while.
The lecturers here in UTAR are really nice people. In fact, some if them remind me of my ex-teachers in secondary school. My Maths lecturer kinda reminds me of Mr Tan HS, maybe because of his skinny figure and white hair and I think he’s a bit hunch, just a bit. Then, my economics lecturer reminds me of Mr Patrick. Mostly because he’s an Indian and he likes to joke around during class. My Accounts lecturer reminds me of, erm, should I say who it is? You guys can guess by the description I’m about to give. She’s quite small size, small figure, smiles most of the time during lectures and maybe this last trait is a bit off, she’s really nice. But I don’t understand why she has a diabetes poster in front of her office? It’s really quite creepy. Everyone got the answer? Need I say more?
This post will be longer than my other posts, I’m sure you guys would have noticed it by now. I’m sorry about the length. For those who are impatient, feel free to close this page anytime you want. I don’t mind at all.
Here in UTAR, I feel like such a banana. I’m currently trying to learn Cantonese, but I can say I’m quite slow. My best line so far is ‘hou tong ah’ meaning ‘very cold’ because most of the lecture halls and tutorial rooms are freezing cold! Even my cardigan is not enough to keep me warm. Especially the room DDK4! Freezing our butts off during maths and accounts lectures, two hours each! Can you imagine all 150 of us sitting there trying our best to pay attention while having to listen, take down notes and keep warm at the same time? My fingers went numb and I can’t even feel the pen properly. Needless to say, my handwriting, as most of us would say, was like shit. It’s too cold to grip the pen properly. I spend most of my time blowing into my palms and rubbing them together. I tried shaking hands with my friends but they wouldn’t let me. Say’s my hands are cold. They must have forgotten about thermal equilibrium.
This is getting a bit too long for my style. I’ll write some more next time. Have maths to finish. Byebye =)
Oh and by the way, I heard that we’re only having holiday until 2nd day of CNY. 3rd day it’s back to business. Sad right? My Johor housemates cancelled their plans of going home. They even sold their bus tickets! I do feel sorry for them.
