Hey guys! It has been a very hectic week since i've entered my degree. I ASSUMED orientation week would be something like fun and games, but it turns out, we got two assignments instead... =S
It’s not all bad though, because I'm finally reunited with my colleagues again! It's so much fun having them around! we kept sleeping at 3am, talking crap all night, although we have a class at 8.30am the next day.. =S
On the first day we were reunited, which was last Saturday, everybody had something to give each other, it could either be souvenirs or belated birthday presents. So, i ended up getting 5 presents from them! =D
This saree is from Fairuz! She bought it all the way from India! =D
This photoframe is from Farah! I like the..."semoga kau maintain HOT!"... part! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! =D
This weird-looking Pink Panther is from Syiqin! LOL.
Syiqin also gave me this cute little keychain! =D
This is, by far, the best present EVER! It's somewhat like a snow-globe and it has our (Me, Fika and Fairuz) picture in it! =D
This awesome gift is from Fika, my beloved little friend... =)
Anyway, let’s talk about my course for a while. I have this class which is called Problem-based Learning and I’ve never been so blurr my entire life until I got into that class. There were basically three steps; extract the keywords, discuss and present. I was extremely blurr when we were “extracting” because the lecturer didn’t give us any sort of examples before that. They were like,“Extract the unknown words…” and I was like,“…but we know all of the words…” +.+
The only thing I like about that class is the “presenting” part. We presented our findings using Microsoft Powerpoint and our groupmates MUST ask us A LOT of questions in order for all of us to get marks. Thus, we get to ask all of those stupid questions and watch the “presenter” go blurr~ LOL.
There’s something rather interesting about my course btw. We got this one lecturer who is VERY OPEN. I mean, what do u expect from a Human Sexual Behaviour Psychologist? Me and my friends call him,"The Teacher of Sex"... LOL! I’d have to admit, I am afraid of him because it feels like he might rape me or something but I like the way he reach out to us and how he kept on stressing us to change our mind-set. He also asked us NOT to be TOO NERDY and learn to enjoy yourself once in a while, when all of our other lecturers kept on saying that there’s no time to enjoy once u’re in Medicine... =S
He phrased it like this…“Study hard, Play HARDER!” =D
I think my favourite advice from him is this…
“U have to skip your classes once in a while or else u’ll die!” XD
