Finale...yeah right~ I don't know why I put that title. Anyways, a month have passed. I've enjoyed much of the holidays by traveling to China for 8 days and hanging out with friends. Now, the torment starts =.= Yesterday was the start of my 2nd semester. I was anxious at first because Japanese and Taiwan Youth Exchange students will be paying a visit to Swinburne and Swinburne's Leo Club will be taking charge of their stay there.
First thing's first, I drove to Swinburne and was literally shocked to see that the carpark is FULL! Even the parking lots for buses were occupied. FYI, Swinburne got numerous carparks for its' students. Even the multi-story carpark was fully occupied, gosh. Around 12p.m, all the YEs arrived and the briefing went smoothly. Luckily there's a translator for the Japanese xD
Okay, that's the happy part. Now, some onslaught. My first class was Engineering Physics. Not so bad actually, just that the lecturer has got high expectations from her students (according to my seniors). I think she'll be a fine lecturer with vast experience, but maybe her way of teaching doesn't sublimate to my system yet~ Just a short briefing, around an hour then we're off. Luckily I still got few of my first semester coursemates with me during this semester. So I wasn't lonely and at least there's a helping hand nearby. Engineering Physics ended an hour earlier as scheduled, so we ended up in the cafeteria having lunch. Then, worse case scenario =.= Next subject is Innovation and Change. Whoa, this 1 is a really a pain in the neck. A lot of rules to abide, and passing for this subject is as hard as passing Engineering Maths. The double criteria which needs us to pass both assignments and exams making it hard for students to even score a High Distinction(HD). AND the sad thing is that if we fail this subject, we can only retake this subject March, next year. And yea, we will be left behind for about, a year I think while others who passes 2nd semester can proceed to Degree. To make my life in this subject more ' interesting ', I have a extremely freakish, and gayish lecturer. They're 3 lecturers actually, 2 are just substitutes as the main lecturer is M.I.A. Okay, let me quote some 'kek-tiok' phrases that the gayish teacher said to the whole class:
1. ' I was born a lawyer, but sadly I became a lecturer so I can enforce Law in my lectures ' (So what?)
2. ' If you were to argue with me, I suggest you surrender to me and say you win or else you'll be in for one hell of a ride' (He's cocky =.=)
3. ' I'm a rather sneaky person, I will not tolerate with students who does not follow MY ETHICS. I will cut off their marks silently, so don't blame me if your marks are low ' (....)
4. ' You must change your mindset in this 2nd semester. I know your mindset is all about sex and girlfriends only ' (excuse me?)
That's for his bad part. Now for the good part. He is able to explain the word Innovation and Change using real life examples. And I ONLY admired him when he was explaining. He was saying that Innovators are for the devils while Change are for the saints. Innovators are just mimickers but if a person is able to Change, it means they have gone a step forward. Normally people won't change because they feel safe with their principles/the way of doing. We feel comfortable and safe in that sphere that's why we are not willing to change. But if we are able to break through that sphere and reach out, it means one have Changed. Thus we progress and not stagnate in life. 'Everyone Changes as time goes on, but not all can Innovate'. This sentence really struck my mind. He got a point there and I somehow believed it. That's why I admired his explanations, but not his cocky-ness =.=
So, that's about it. It's a bit stressful after going through all that. After I got home, I took a short nap and text my Vivi then I feel a bit more relieved. But I was still worried and little stressed because she was also stressed with her studies. Afraid that she couldn't revise finish, I though of many ways to help her but all seemed useless. Sigh...I really wish I could help her because seeing her sad and worried like that makes me feel the same also. I even stop text-ing her so that she got more time to focus on her revision but I think it's still not enough. God, please help her face this problem. I really don't wan her to feel this way, not anymore! I hope that she will feel better when she wakes up tomorrow. *fingers crossed*
A message to my Honey :
I know it's a stressful moment for you. I understand how you feel, but don't tire yourself and neglect your health. So please take care and have enough rest. I will be there for you if you need me, I promise ^.^ I love you!
-Over and Out-
