I need this
So, I have been going to school every day from 9.30am-4pm. I'm really very much exhausted. Now, since they have taken so much of my time away, we are ahead of time and therefore, we have a week of break before the next professor comes in and it's 9.30am-4pm again. I need this week of break badly. I really want to sleep in. I just want to wake up at 6.30am to snuggle up to my blanket and pillows, not to bathe and head for school.
Anyway, the people in this module is quite horrible. Since, you know, engineering, their command of English is not that good --- according to the professor and not just me. The examination consists of 4 essay-type questions and the students are freaking out because they can't write or are afraid to write. Then the professor has to say that even though the questions are essay based, people with bad command of English or no command of English tend to score better. What is worse is not because the professor said this but it is the students who laughed like pigs about it. They make is seem as though having a command of English is a negative thing and something that is not to be celebrated. Can anyone just give them a knock on their heads that this is Singapore and we do not simply need Math and formulae to keep our jobs.
I agree with the professor that it is possible that students with a command of Snglish may not do as well as we may be more longwinded to 'showcase our English standard' and perhaps cause difficulty for the professors to mark our scripts and give us points. But, what is there to laugh about this? I was absolutely angry about it and still am. The only difference between then and now is that I see their laughter as loud insults upon themselves. The laughter that merely confirms their incapability when it comes to the English Language.
Fuck off.
