High and Dry

The university seems to be having a tough semester this time around. First it was the haze. Which led to darurat and 2 days of holiday. Everyone was so happy with the extra holidays. Including me.

Then, there's lecturers who are now currently 'fighting' their way to get time to teach us thanks to missing loads of classes. We are so sought after these days. Tsk, tsk.

And the latest addition, water woes. The oil spill was quite massive. The taps have been running dry since Sunday. In some places in the U, it was gone since Friday itself. Some poor souls decided to stay in hotels. Will other fortunate souls like myself can find solace at home. Hehe. Because of this, we get another 2 days off. Of course this will make most people jump in joy. More holidays. C'mon, how can anyone be sad over that?

Well, I am. More unexpected holidays means more replacement class. We are already lagging behind time with all our classes. With this, it's just makes things far worse. The university was thinking about revising their schedule for the end-semester holidays due to Raya, in which they decided to make the exams earlier and canceling the revision period. Or something along that line.

Now with plenty of 'revision periods' in our hands, the university might as well revert ot its original plan cause this is definitely not going to work. We have plenty of classes to catch up on. The debate has been postponed. We haven't even finished with the mid-term exams. The Calculus tuition will also be brought forward. Not to mention the talk by Dr. Klaus from Scotland which I was so looking forward to go to. And experiments with the reports. The lecturer which will be going to continue his studies has to finish teaching us before he leaves. But if this keeps going on, I don't know where it's gonna leave is.

Let's just hope this 'messy' semester will not repeat. Ever again.
