Expectations, reality

       When I was 17.......

         University seemed like a future so far away I could never reach it.

 I imagined life in uni to be like what is so often portrayed in films....fun, crazy!! 

I imagined the lecturers writing complicated equations on a blackboard, students copying furiously...students constantly asking intelligent questions. I imagined I would be sitting in a lecture hall. 

 

 

 

   NOW THAT I'M 20.......

I'm taking a Pharmacy course and there are only 30 something students in my batch. Sooo...we have our own little tutorial room. We have never been to a huge lecture hall for any of our lectures. And the lecturers hardly ever use the whiteboard.

We print our lecture notes and the lecturers use a projector to show us our notes. There is no " copying furiously " because..well, it's all in the notes.
So we just listen. And some lecturers just read from our notes....erm...we know how to read.

And we are almost always in that same small room. Boring!

Technology has taken over. Nowadays, there are lectures online, we check our timetable through email, we search for lecture notes on the uni website, we can even renew our book loans online. My laptop is my new best friend.

 

 Assignments...search for journals and articles online.

quizzes....online!!!

We have it way easy nowadays. 

Oh..and this reminds me...I have an essay to write on human psychology and a presentation to prepare. AND here I am blogging. What am I doing with my life?!
