I do believe i have ADD.
Attention Deficit Disorder.
A "symptom" that i think has always been with me but has only recently been discovered.
So far i've sat for a few lectures and i realise i have narda concentration levels. I can only last, at the very max, half and hour. Then i start zoning out.And so far ive managed to nod off in every single one of them. The people in the back can always see my head fishing for fishies and i believe the gwei lo lecturer has caught me many times. What a good impression i make of a "diligent" law student. Hehe.
For those not in the know, i've finally started another phase of my life- UNIVERSITY. keke.
Although i dont really know what to say when people ask me this :
" Eh..but you go for classes in a COLLEGE. How can you say that you're going to UNIVERSITY??"
DUH.I do know im in a college. But the difference is that my study lifestyle and my learning lifestyle is that of a tertiary level. So huh! XD
Updates on me :
1. Currently enrolled in Taylor's College doing it's Law Degree Programme. It's a twinning programme with the University of Reading,a 2+1 effort. As the name of the Uni indicates, my course expects me to read,read,read,read,and READ. Boring.
2. Orientation is the whole of this week and im glad to say that im enjoying every minute of it. Minus the boring lecturers by the boring gwei lo lecturer called Martha Marie.
3.First let's talk about Martha Marie. Yup, as ive repeatedly mentioned,she's white
( im not being a racist btw XD ) She's Canadian.She's a rep from the Uni of Reading who is in charge of inducting us into the programme. She's huge. She is sarcastic.
She is huge. She is funny at times but most of the time she's just one big lump of blob who has a very dry wit thanks to her tenure in UK.
She's staying here for one week, hallelujah. She's huge.
I dont like her. Perhaps its due to the fact that i gave her a bad impression from all my "fishing sessions" as well as the recent "Stop typing while im talking session". Hehe. Childish i know. But its just me. :P And did i mention she's HUGE??!!
4. There are 38 of us in a lecture.What do i think of them? Well... THEY CAN SPEAK ENGLISH!! XD And for that i am grateful. After what i endured in NS, i shall not ask for anything more than them to be able to "SPEAKING" as the Malays so nicely put it.
Ps: "Speaking" is a Malay slang for the expression" You speak ENGLISH! WOW!!"
Granted, i feel comfortable with the people here, so you can say that im adjusting well. God willing, i'll find good friends in my class. ;) It's just the fourth day after all and friendship is a fruit of slow growth... hehe.. so i shall ...as the Japs say "Gambatei" ;)
5. I take 5 subjects. Legal Skills,Contract,Tort, Criminal,General Principles of Law. All 5 are reading subs. And all the compulsory books i have to buy on those subjects are darn expensive. I spent RM550 yesterday alone and i think i still have some more to buy. Urgh. There's gonna be a hole in pocket ladies and gents,so do think twice when you ask me out again the next time around oki? ;) Even though it's my parents money, i feel guilty spending so much. hehe.
6. I am excited with the life i have now. I can say that im having fun as im smiling most of the time i'm here. Something that was missing in my time at NS. I think its because i have something to look forward to now. Lectures,tutorials,friends to go out with and hang out,etc etc. In short, im in bliss. I dont ask for much. XD
ps- Do bear with me mentioning National Service in most of my posts. I cant help doing a compare and contrast on the life i live now and the live i used to live a week ago. It comes with finally realising how blesses life is for me at home :D.
