Jackpot!
Sian! What can I say man? 天运如此,何必强求。。。Why am I always the group leader?… more on that later…
As with most Mondays beginning 2 weeks ago, it proves to be a really pathetic way to start an arduous day of 10 hours. Maths lecture = boring… Tried to salvage some useful time by finishing qn1 of tutorial 3… On hindsight, it’s good that I actually completed 2, because… well, more on that later
MNO was as usual, not too good, not too bad. Oh, the videos rox. DSC2006, erhem… *cough* please do check through the slides for row alignment / coloured boxes that will come out badly once printed blah blah…
Now to get into the topic proper. So I had 2 tutorials today. BSP1004A tutorial tio jackpot! Catherine Tay is my tutor, hmm. She is good, but… heard rumours that her grading is quite strict… Then, we knew beforehand that she will randomly assign groups to us based on a numbering system. BUT… my clique went into the LT quite late lah… so… never cooperate with the rest of the pplz to sit tactically. End up all the group rojak lo, but its ok one, most are same class ppl anyway. Friendly ppl they are: melissa felicia yingying sherlyn shaofen & lee huan, whom I dunno. Year 2 transferee from engineering. Haha… Ken are you reading this?! Her reason cited: too hard. But I dunno lah, general trends seem to suggest (no offense here) males tend to do better in engineering. But wait… that wasn’t the main point. The main point is… yes that’s right (even though its a pretty lame reason), I’m group leader AGAIN! (why? coz only guy… dotz…) Then Catherine Tay still choose a class rep, say got class participation points. Sian… Sherlyn so enthu volunteer. I should have taken it up sia, hehe… phone on 24/7, check my mail everyday which my nus mail forward to. Never mind, keep low profile…
Okok… move on to the next tutorial… FNA1002. You know what? How many jackpots can a person tio in a day? Dr Chng (the lecturer) is my tutor… (sounds familiar?) He is good also, but again… heard rumours about his strict grading… (sounds familiar?) Okok at least no random assignment of groups here, phew. But the seats are permanent for this tutorial. Haha… again I knew beforehand, so we went to chop good seats early. Then form groups… small groups only. 3 ppl, so I do with joy and rachel. Guess who’s the group leader?
DSC2006 and MNO1001 got group projects anot? … I forgotten again le, nvr bothered with the course outline. Sighz… Then my group doing a question for BSP1004A in the next tutorial, and presenting FNA1002 the week after… Dotz… So thats why I’m glad to complete other commitments. Maths rox! But I think tutorials will be a bore. Till then…
