JC1 focus discussion session

Heys 1SD3!

While all of you were in the physics lab doing your "Fun o rama reflections" on pretty coloured paper, this was what was happening down in the Hub...

The HOD of maths was at my table... My first thought was: Goodness, math of all subjects! Not that it mattered because the discussion was not ABOUT math but i have a math paranoia... Yes i used to have this biological equation that amounted to something like: A math=Headache.

Anyway, we began by telling him about our lives at ACJC and how we were adapting and voicing problems that we or our class had... I mentioned about the "too long breaks" and the "too short breaks" and some other people added in concerns of the "absence of breaks". There was also talk about "too little lectures" and "too little tutorials" which I found strange as I always believed that people would prefer freedom to imprisonment within a cold and dreary LT or a boiling hot and "sian" classroom. Anyway, Man has apparently evolved to become torture-loving...

The discussion was also punctuated with awkward silences...No surprise there because a wrong statement (as believed and agreed on by all students at the table without the knowledge of the HOD) could easily result in the presentation of something "wonderful" such as Detention Class or Demerit Points... So we all Decided to be Discreet in our very Demanding Discussion in order to Deter our Destiny away from Detention and Demerits...

Apparently in doing so we earned ourselves a broken recording of:

"We understand your concerns, but you must realise that there is much hard work done that is unseen by you and thus, you should try your best to work independently to adapt to the circumstances given to you as university would demand much of you in this aspect. So see this as a good preparation for you to be flexible in your ways that would aid you in university life in the future"

It left many of us pondering on our physical location and purpose at that point of time... Since we were going to get the same reply for each concern we voiced, the statement above might as well have been announced to the whole school... Oh well...

That's it for my time at the Hub at the Focus Discussion Session... So 1SD3, tell me about your "Fun o rama reflection" time, it's your turn! (and you guys left me out from the class pic! how could you!!!! haha...)
