heya guys, it's been a while. Apparently it's taking really long for me to write out my entire Japan trip because it's basically 11 days, and I forgot to factor in how much effort I have to put in while juggling my studies :') My bad.
Anyway, just decided to check in with you guys because I realised that my last post was basically on 30 January? Which means I skipped the entire of February and March is coming to an end. February was a whirlwind, because of Chinese New Year. Visiting was not all fun and games, and my projects were just piling up one after another.
Now that we are almost through with March, the deadlines are just looming around the corner (I submitted two reports just yesterday and the day before, and I have 3 more to go. Hooray!!) To be honest, Uni will be fun if the professors are actually *nice* people and love what they are teaching. Of course, most of them are. But there are just some outliers who just spoil the entire semester for you :')
I have been fortunate enough to have been graced by the presence of the black sheep, and I am in class currently while I'm typing this. I have missed out on the feedback session for the teaching faculty, so I have no means to actually give feedback about him to the school about his attitude and behaviour in class. Ready?
He comes late. For every. Single. Class.
He is a hypocrite - scolding students for coming in late, while being late himself. Logic?
He doesn't bring his materials (eg, markers) and has to loan from exchange students in the class.
He shows videos in class... To teach us the basics/ foundations. Meaning? He doesn't teach us, he shows educational videos so that we learn from them. In that case, can't we just have this entire mod based on elearning alone?
He is monotonous, and no one listens.
He is pissy and quick to throw a fit, when no one is listening. Maybe he should reflect why?
He very openly shows favouritism.
He goes, are you serious? when someone says he/she doesn't understand something.
He gets upset when no one wants to ask him questions. I wonder why?
In what way is this a conducive environment for learning? And to think we are Singapore's best university.

Situated in the sunny island of Singapore, Jolene recently (is 2 years considered recent?) graduated from university and is now working in a job she never expected herself to hold. Besides having frequent quarter-life crises, she also indulges in video games, anime, and aesthetic korean girls documenting their life in vlogs.
Although not as eloquent with words, she still aims to try her best to bring across her thoughts to the Internet.
