What's the First Day of Campus Life Like?

Monday, August 7.

What was it like to enter university life for the first time?
Oh my, to tell you the truth, I was very excited and a little bit nervous because the BLACKBOARD (it's the campus' site) intimidated me with the assignments and their module courses' expectations for this semester. Phew, I saw lots of "essay writing" at least 2500-3000 words for the Psychology 1 module. Kinda creeps me out you see.

But when I enter the class, the professor, Mrs.Isabella Wong, she was the energetic and spontaneous type of tutor. I was surprised to get such professor! And amazingly, she's the coordinator of the Psychology 1 module. I said to myself, YAY! We got the best professor ever! =D

We played Bingo game, whereas we have to go around the room and look for the students who were under the categories. Two of the categories were "is married" and "have children". I was like, WHO THE HECK WILL IT BE EXCEPT THE PROFESSOR HERSELF? ... And we can't have one person's name in two categories.
But guess what, one Indian woman is actually a MOTHER! I was surprised! Finally! I can get a family woman friend. =)

The class was interesting, but of course many contradiction with the Truth. But overall, with the teachers' enthusiasm, I will sure gain more understanding about the psychological knowledge, also the ways the professor taught us (her behavior and how she handled situations in the classroom).

After Psychology 1, I had a History 101 class at about 3.30 PM. Now this is what I call interesting! My professor, Dr.Kevin Blackburn, taught the class about the history of cinemas. Interesting isn't it? I learnt that cinemas were created because people back in those days tend to look for entertainment and that caused them to watch stories that were actually fantasy, and it's not reality. Which is why cinemas were called "The Great Escapism". And there's also one factor why the cinemas are so important. During the war period, the government tried to raise fund to make the weapons and equip the war materials, including recruiting the soldiers. One of the best way to raise fund was through cinemas. The profit from the cinemas were then for the military purposes. Ain't it new? =)

My 3 friends (plus the MOTHER friend) and I went to talk with the professor about chatty things and he gotta know our names better. haha.. So...yeah..

*Leave with grace, come home with honors*
Favor's upon this woman.
Always.
