School Starts

Orientation finally ended, and school starts. Is indeed a culture shock that university life is so much different from polytechnic. Quoting an example, tutorial and practical timeslots are not pre-allocted to us. We got to choose and register them online. Some are by balloting, some are by first come first serve basic. And I thought I was early to register my chemistry pract and tutorial today, only to discover that all the desired timeslots are full! And it was only three hours from the opening of the registration. I start to understand what are the attributes of a real university student. I'm too slack!

Molecular Genetics lecture today was fun, but yet, I predicted that this module is not gonna to be easy... The lecturer treated us like "we know everything from JC since its just the introduction"... And yet, I have returned my knowledge on Cell Biology and Genetics to NgeeAnn two years ago. The funny thing is out of all sudden, in the middle of the lecture, I started to miss Dr. Teo and Dr. Phang. Alot.

I was disturbed from my daydream by a fellow siting in front of me who was pressing the calculator, trying to calculate the thickness of the cell wall!?! Unintentionally, I peeped his notes. It was "Notes and diagram everywhere!!!". Then I look at mine, only to see a A4 sized plain paper, with my name and the module title on it. Now, I start to realize the different between a poly and JC student. The utimate ones are those who went down the lecture hall to look for the lecturer to clear their queries, even though its just the first lesson. And it was called Introductory to Genetics... I wonder what's next...

ShawnTay - I will write notes too at the next lecture! =P
