New Sem, New Resolution

(inserts crappy opening music here)

Its the beginning of the new semester and this semester, I am taking: Operating Systems, Founding of American Republic, Introduction to Advertising, Principles of Management and Anthropology. All 5 which are extremely unbearable. Wait.. Scratch that.. 4 are extremely unbearable, only 1 is just unbearable. And that 1 is Operating Systems. That is because we are given computers + internet so we can FACEBOOK and PHOTOSHOP within that 1 hour of class.

I have not been to American Republic class. Intro to Advert was VERY memorable in the sense that I actually remembered that the lecturer comes from the same area as where I live: Wangsa Maju. Anthropology, as my facebook status reports (done during class via iTouch) is B-O-O-R-I-N-G (Daniel can testify to this with his snoring) but on the plus side, we have field trips (work!) and the lecturer seems quite bubbly.

And finally, we have reached the rant of the day: Principles of Management; the most ironic class ever. The lecturer has no proper management. First class; I entered and she was setting up the laptop and everything which ate into the first 5 mins of the class. She asked a girl who was very clueless to fetch the RGB cable for the projector. While waiting for that girl, she chatted with us and spoke of getting the lecture notes photostated. Then the girl arrived back saying that she can't obtain the cable so the lecturer went to the very same place to fetch the cable. Just setting up wasted 15 mins of class time. In between break time, lecturer started talking about her experience of working in China for about 15-20 mins.
Second class, I arrived 20 minutes late and lecturer was only on slide no. 1. In fact, it seems like she just started. During break time once again, she started displaying and guiding us on her experience in China for another good 15-20 mins. Not only her time management is terrible but she tries to hard to be funny and it just makes her seem bad. And she has little 'technical knowledge'. She asked us how to understand people, to which I answered EQ (Emotional Intelligent Quotient), she said, "No need EQ EQ all!" What is that supposed to mean? She just said, "You need to listen." I don't know. YOU LISTEN TO ME, ITS EQ!

Signing off,
the frustrated Alexie.
