Friday is a sad day...
Many people might be able to free up Friday but since my COM205 tutorial falls on Friday and I failed to find anyone to change tutorial group with, I can only go home on Friday. The problem is that I made the situation worse by making Friday my longest day of the week! How dumb...
Friday is sad day cuz I have nobody to go to lessons with! There's only one core for the day, but it's a tutorial right in the middle of the day and I know a significantly small number of people in my tutorial group. Hopefully I'll get to know more of them soon. An hour before my COM205 tutorial is my Korean lesson and half an hour after my tutorial is my Math lecture, which lasts all the way until 5.30pm and makes Friday my longest day, so it's pretty much impossible to meet up with anyone in between. The one-hour slot is too short for a proper lunchtime slack and since there's nobody to lunch with, I'll likely end up munching on sandwich every week. If I'm lucky, I'll see Hui Chun in SCI before my tutorial and not be bored to death all alone.
The Math lecture in 20 minutes' time is both exciting and dreadful. It's been a long time since I did proper Math and I do want to keep in touch with it. At the same time, I have a really high expectation of myself with limited confidence, so I'm really worried if I can cope with university Math, especially with my transition from Science to Arts over the past year. I am not certain of the standard and although I am OK with my standard among locals, it just dawned on me that there are many foreign students taking this module too.
Anyway, Speech and Argumentation tutorial didn't go too badly. We started the lesson with a little ball game which was analogical to public speaking and did give me a pretty good introduction to the concept of public speaking. But I really sux at catching the ball. As for speaking, I do try to convince myself to mask my nervousness when speaking, but I just tend to speak too fast and miss out on things I planned on saying. Hopefully I'll learn to overcome that!
