The (little) things I will miss about UNIVERSITY.
No matter HOW MUCH I hate UNIVERSITY.
1. MTMC
Possibly the most vibrant and active club I've ever come across. Just when you thought the campus over here has nothing much to offer, right??? Sad to say, I was in it only for ONE sem. ONE sem but only go for FOUR meetings. Haha, at least better than nothing-lah. >.< Kind of wasted that I paid so much for membership. The horrible WORKLOAD university has + the kinds of Questions they can come up with... Oh God. Even if I have ONE MORE SEM to go before I bid goodbye officially, doesn't mean I will have time... because for some reason, UNI decided to be NICE to me by giving me a three-day week this coming sem aka the final one (UNLESS I randomly decide to go on to Hons or Masters)
2. Its crazy BUT dynamic bunch of LECTURERS (possibly only from my FACULTY) :P
In no particular order:-
a) Sharon for her SUPER-DUPER extensive comments that makes you think you've failed the assignment. Her suffocating classes, I'd still remember BUT truth is, I learnt SO MANY things from it.
b) Callum for being extremely NICE to his students and at one point calling me KIASU just because I wanted an explanation as to why I got 18/25 and not MORE for one of my assignments. I swear he's a JOKER at times.
c) Andrew. HIM. Well, let's just say that he's the kind of lec WHO no matter HOW much you DESPISE him, you would still come back and thank HIM for everything that he's ever taught you. Honestly, I took POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURE coz I got nth else to take, going in with ZERO KNOWLEDGE. At one point, I thought I was gonna FLUNK this paper when I was LOST the first FOUR WEEKS. But then, later, I bugged him A LOT, really and I'm so glad I got something out of it.
As for Authorship, what can I say? FUN YET TRAUMATISING. As much as I am happy I did not flunk, I just wish I could've CRAPPED a lot lesser so I could've scored HIGHER.
Fluent in sarcasm, really. ALL your eccentric EMAILS, your sarcastic remarks in all our essays and possibly EXAMS, your HATRED towards JB and Twilight (LOL), and esp your awkward way of calling me by name particularly the LONGER (I notice) you tend to exaggerate my "Leen" to sthg like "Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen". Even my friends don't do that... not to that extent, at least. LOL. (Sometimes I wish my parents gave me a more complicated Chinese name so you'd have trouble calling me).
Well, not only ONE lec remembers me; I think all my lecs do. MAN, It means they're kinda like watchdogs in UNI and they possibly expect very high marks from you. Sigh. WHY ME?
Can I just be LAZY like some of my friends?????????
d) Julian is SOOOOOOO nice. Period.
3. The friendships built along the way
Ah, so cliche I know. But, nobody can deny that the friends you make in uni are the ones that change your life... in my case (+) Note to self: Try to talk to MORE people, maybe the exchange kids. So far, met one Aust, Z and one South African, D. Thank you so much for all your HELP with Authorship.

I really DON'T KNOW if this coming sem will be a NICE one.
But, Global Economy, Global Cities, MCP and Media Texts, I am coming.
