Classes

Classes classes.

I don't fancy lectures that much. For starters, my business stats lecture is in Lt7, which is rather uncomfortable, with stiff wooden seats and bad air-conditioning. Lecturer is Dr Santha (santa!), who is a kindly lady who pronounces "data" as "day-tuh". Her lecture is boring. Period.

Business stats tutorial + com lab was (equally) crashingly boring. Shared the lab with Yean May, which was a good thing, or i would've died of boredom. Tutor is this v. nice + patient lady named Hezlin Harris, who seems to be kinda Malay. Apparently she is a part-time tutor, who teaches in MMU. Tute started off with us having to do some basic form-3 standard algebra (supposedly with excel), which i did enthusiastically. Been long since i did algebra. Fun! After that we had to revise some stuff Dr Santha did. Actually Ms Harris taught me again coz i forgot. Personally i think Harris is a better educator than Santha coz she gives examples, whereas Santha just drones on and on.

Management lecture is situated in Sunway's wonderful and atmospheric Audi 7, which is the opposite of Lt7. Audi 7 rocks. It has cushioned seats, dim lights, and cool air-conditioning. Down side is that my lecture timeslot is packed like a can of sardines. Lecturer is Karthyeni Puto-whatever-something (only lecturer without a Dr. status), a woman with a large mane of semi-curly hair who speaks English fluently. She teaches in a confusing philosophical way that sends me straight into dreamland. "Management is like a jungle, and we will analyze the trees in the forest."

Management tutorial is my only Friday class. Sighs. Tutor is this dude named Arasan. Nothing note-worthy about him. Had to do ice-breaking, during which i had to introduce myself to the class. Was teamed up with some undesirable teammates.
X( Will have to contact them about my tutorial homework.

Sardine-can congestion also occurs in accounting lecture, also in Audi 7. Lecturer is Dr. Kevin Low ("call me Kevin"), a formidable-looking dude who comes in wearing polo t-shirt with jeans. His lecture is fast-paced and, according to Wingie the Old Bean (and i agree), is the best so far. "Failing rate is 25%. Ah 4 of you here. One of you will fail!" Brr.. Have no intention of becoming one of those unfortunate 25%.

Accounting tutor is this strange little woman called Renee (re-nay. ree nee. LoL) Tan. She's nice and all smiles. Have yet to discover whether or not she has knives hidden in her smiles though. She dismissed us after taking the attendance and after asking "any questions?" for more than 5 times.

MicroEcons lecture once again in Audi 7. Guess it's the only large Auditorium to fit in loads of students. Microecons lecturer is Dr Wong, a funny balding man. Funny, as in the way he looks and acts. He's v. comical, with tiny bird-like eyes.

Econs tutor is v. scary. Small little guy named Alvin. When he first came into class, Mother Teresa said "he looks like a kid.." One of his eyes are problematic, as it only stares to the front. Possibly the result of some accident + surgery. Anyway that's one of the reasons why he's so scary. He seems to exude some killer aura that shuts everyone up. Like some sorta chi. Brr.. Freaky. Alvin is quite a nice person actually, and v. insightful. He kept making some sorta lame jokes and everyone was too terrified to manage even a small giggle. Btw Alvin is totally against gay marriage. Better not let any gays know.

That about sums up all my classes for week 1. V. much different from CIMP's sausage stuffing, but i'll manage. S'good to get mechanisms in brain functioning once again after a three-month wait.
