lovely sunday

 And every other days to come, of course.

 I managed to complete 80% of my tutorial questions last night before calling it a day. Left a few questions unanswered, simply because i was to lazy to specify my points. General, general. It was all about generalizing yesterday. And today in class, all she wanted was specific, specific. Which left her pretty dissatisfied with my answers.

 I dont know what it is about foreign lecturers. Sometimes they make it seem as if, its unappropriate to ask thm questions, or answer their questions before them. Being Asians, known for our kiasu-ness, a friend was answering our lecturer's self-question, know what i mean?

  " Now, lets see what the figure shows. What was the figure again?...." stops and seemed clueless, her eyes scrutinizing on the piece of paper on her hands looking for something.

   " 0.27%, " answered a fellow classmate.

   " Yes, yes i know, i know. I was just looking.." was her reply. Sounding somewhat annoyed by the 'distraction' she got, or just, an answer to her previous question.

  " Now, what does that figure shows? What does it tell you? What do you understand from the figure 0.27 ?" she continued.

  " You mean the analysis? " I asked.

  " Now you see, it is crucially important to understand the question, and not to think beyond the question asked. This is what students normally do, and in the end they get confused with the question, hence they circle the wrong answer. " again, sounding annoyed but trying her best to maintain composure.

  " Okay, so what do you un-der-standdd from the figure? What does it tell you?" she asked.

  Class remained silent. I guess no one dared to answer her, afraid that they might, in some way offend her unintentionally. I was really stressed out at this point.

  " A one percent change in price would lead to a 0.27 percent change in quantity demanded, in the opposite direction due to the law of demand, " i shooted.

  " Correct, thats it ! " she responded.

  There you have it.
  That, was the analysis she taught us yesterday.

  Maybe it was just because of my cranky-ness. Im not much of a morning person, but i hope not all of them are like that. My off shore lecturer is great, really, just that sometimes,well, maybe i got the wrong impression. 

  Drop that.

  I walked out of that tutorial room feeling light-headed. Finally one burden lifted. I had classes on a weekend, and thats disastrous enough, but atleast its a holiday tomorrow. More time to start planning on those pile of assignments.

  My inner self is telling me to take up something i really love. I think i need it too. Uni load is one thing, but i think i need some activity outside to balance the whole cycle. Apart from gym and the religious classes i attend every saturday mornings.
