A little love, encouragement and inspiration?

Just a little?

Day's events:

Today, I realized I made a mistake in my timetable - my Calculus tutorial should be 11am to 12pm tomorrow instead of today.

And since I didn't know I got the days wrong, I went for what I thought was Calculus tutorial in that classroom I'm supposed to go to tomorrow and sat in the class for 10 minutes? I was so embarrassed I just ran out of the classroom lol (while the tutor faced the whiteboard) Idk why the girl beside me didn't realize I was reading MA1102R and my tutorial was obviously different from hers but I realized and I asked her if I was in the wrong class, if I was in MA1102R. She said YES.
Then after a few minutes, I saw that the tutor asked a few students to go up to present their work and the questions+answers on the board was not even similar to my tutorial and so I asked the girl beside me again "Are you sure I'm in the right class?!" then we both realized I'm not.
But nvm, not like anyone in that class knows me.

mmm then I met Kelz for lunch at Utown and then went back to the library to read a bit of stuff before heading home (and Kelz goes for her next lecture) So now I know I only have one tutorial on Tuesday That is, if I decide to skip my Calculus lecture because I'm attending Hazel's one - which is way more effective and the lecturer is much more interesting. He's got this rather high pitched voice and you can feel his zest for the subject. We even stayed after the lecture because we wanted to clarify some doubts --> at least he makes you want to know what you're doing and not just, not care~

But I have to say, some of the students kept spamming him with questions and Hazel and I had to wait and queue behind all of them. -.- (There was this dude who asked a few questions and then went back to his book, flipped a few pages then went back to ask again ++ These students will hang around to hear what you've got to ask and then scribble down more stuff on their notes. Which I find rather annoying.) The lecturer thought we were about to leave without asking him the questions we wanted to ask (because we were walking away from the table) and he stopped us to say he will answer our questions in that high pitched voice of his HAHA (which shows that he wants us to ask him questions and will gladly explain them to us)

Anyway, I think the math lecturers/tutors are pretty nice so far. Had to sit next to the math lecturer (who sat in to observe the class or something) since I was late for Math tutorial this morning. He was rather nice and he asked me how I find the tutorial. I told him what I don't understand and he explained to me  right there and then (while the tutor continued to go on about the other questions) Wouldn't mind sitting next to the lecturer again for the next tutorial because then I can just ask him whatever I want easily. I thought the tutor looked like he....... hmmmm like the sort of teacher who will get bullied by his students if he went to some secondary school because he seemed scared and unconfident.

but still, I like the lecturers so far. :) That's why I think the lecturers/tutors matter just as much (and not just the students) when it comes to learning.
