what happened during my 4hrs in school
Thursday, January 19, 2006
3weeks of school and the instructors are confirmin their test dates. so this is what i'm going to have:
13th Feb - Engineering professionalism
Transit planning and operation
14th Feb - Introduction to Psychology
15th Feb - Geotechnical engineering 2
what a nice valentine's day gift from the university!
ok, so back to my day in sch. in fact the mid term week starts on 13th feb. Most ppl would choose to have it as late as possible, isnt it. And so, the instructor from geotechnical class was asking our available dates for test and the canadians shouted out MONDAY - the very first day of the mid term week. Not only do i have 2tests scheduled that day, the time clashed with my other modules. sO I guessed im the only one. I raised up my hand and said i can't make it. At this point of time, this fat mama from the back of class shouted "skip it! you are the only one". Took a quick stare at her and was thinking that She's the worst canadian i've met so far. The kind instructor finally arranged another day for me - 15th fEB!!!
On a happier note, i met a super duper helpful soul at the library. by the way, the price of photocopying is atrocious. $0.10CAD per page + 15%taxes. HoWEver, i need to get some stuff photocopied bcos i refuse to buy the expensive textbk. tRYING to squeeze 2pages into 1 and this gives me a whole load of problem. IF I were to get help from the COPY CENTRE, they'll charge $0.09per page + $0.15 service charge = $0.27CAD per copy. WHAT THE HELL!!! service charge is more than the photocopying?!?! So i juz do it myself but it's so hard to get the desired printing which i wan. So here come the campus technician of about 50years old. He looks so fatherly to me. heehee. "i have to make sure this is working right. so u take my card and pay for the printin at the COPY CENTRE". OMGGGGG.. tt's soooo nice of him. well,i only p/copy 1chapter despite the initial 10chapters which i wanted. i refused to let the COPY CENTRE earn the service charge. After fixing the machine, while teaching me how to use it, he found 10cents on the ground. he picked it up and said "see, i got my $ money back from the printing". haha...
indeed a happy-go-lucky man... this really brightens up my day... oh what's more, the weather is so much better than yesterday. sunny and cool...
looking forward to wkend bcos the gals are spending 3days at toronto... can't wait man...
