Have you ever felt what's it like to sit in a class and not understand anything? The teacher's just talking and you are totally blanked out. To me, it's one of the worst feelings ever. There's a pressure building in my head and all I want to do is to tell the lecturer to shut up. Wait for me.
Worse still, this lecturer makes it a point that we don't write/take down notes while he's talking. And he doesn't give notes. Rather he makes us fill in all those huge chunks of gaps. Just tells me how much spoon fed I have been by my teachers throughout primary and secondary school. That feeling of frustration is further enhanced when you actually see students who are able to understand, retain the information and  take down their notes. All I think of now is running away from this class.

It sucks when you aren't an auditory learner. You just hear this jumble of words which swim in your mind. They threaten to overflow and make your brain juices leak. Ok I am just crapping. But yes, it's an horrible feeling.

Plan for next week: I am bringing in a voice recorder and recording his lecture. At least I can play back and absorb everything slowly at home.


I might as well update all my other stuff. My class did venipuncture on Monday for practical. It's the coolest thing ever. You need immense concentration on the needle and also ensure that your hands are steady. Strangely, now that I have tried it on another person, I am excited to do it again :D

Today is cca fair.And I am joining tennis! :D :D :D


Cheerio.

Resolutions.

As much as this was due about 4 months back, it's never too late to write one now right? Especially with the beginning of second year in poly. So here goes..
 [In no particular order]
  1. Revise what I have been taught everyday. At least, that day's portion.
  2. Finish what I am supposed to finish on that day itself. Be it homework or cleaning my room.
  3. Eat more healthily. Which means cut down my chocolate intake.
  4. Make time for everyone.
  5. Be more proactive.
Ok,that's about all I can think of. I can probably write even more, but will I follow? Honestly, following all these is going to be a herculean task.

First day of school was really fun! :D Met many new people (didn't really interact though). Learnt how to draw blood from a...dummy.The real thing is next week. My awesome partner or rather pitiful victim is going to be Vivian.I apologize in advance for whatever mishap that is going to occur.

That's about it for now.Cheerio.
