Time is definitely not on my side. So much to do, so little time.

I was looking forward to the first GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) lecture of the year. However, my anticipation turned into hatred at the end of the lecture.

I was running to lecture, because I was running late. Luckily, the teacher himself wasn't on time either and he was rushing. So didn't get scolding. Haha !

At the beginning of the lecture, the teacher introduced himself. His name is Wallace Lim, and he has been teaching for 8-9 batches already. He doesn't look old and looks very friendly. He also mentioned that it is fine just to call him Wallace. I think he will blend in very well with us if he goes out with us. He seems to enjoy teaching alot, and his lessons are not boring. He has a very interesting way of giving lessons and even told us to scrap off the 4 hours worth of tutorial everyweek off our timetable. "This is a great subject and a great way to start it" I thought.

While thinking that, Wallace showed the grouping for our projects on the visualizer. When I looked at my group, I went, "WTH?" I was in a group of 4 other girls, and I was the only boy, I don't know most of them. I don't really hate them or whatever, but working with people you don't know is still gonna pose some problems for me. In addition, this subject is too damn hard too.

Wallace informed us that there would be no semster exams for this subject. However, there would be 2 quizzes and 2 term tests. Term tests are usually 1 hour each. But Wallace told us honestly that his term tests are killers =/. He expects a 7 PAGE-LONG ANSWER for a 10 MARK QUESTION. 10 MARKS ONLY ! 7 PAGES ! Do you have any idea how much is that? Term tests are usually over 50. 5 questions of 10 marks each will need us to write (7x5=) 35 pages !! So i technically have to write a report in 1hr and a half !! What the hell ?! When asked about his previous batches results, he told us cheerfully: "Oh, it's alright. Around half failed term test 1, and more than half failed term test 2." O_O Now that scared me out of my seat.

Next was the report for project. He wants a 40 page report ! OMG ! I have never did a report so long in my life before luh ! Imagine the content you need to have for the report ! 40 Pages ! Ahhhhhhhhhhh !

I told you 100% PBL was a bad thing already. Look what happened ! =O. I finally understood my seniors feelings when Wallace told us that when he got his students MSN, they had nicks like "GMP sucks !" and all. Who wouldn't do that. And they ain't kidding about it being difficult as well..

I guess it's back to late nights and lack of sleep mode again. Just when I started to miss school during the holidays..
