I probably have took too long a break.
Hello everyone. I am back.
I suppose i have a lot of things to say. The problem is that after such a long period of time i have kind of forgot how to write this anymore. Plus, where do i start?
---
Let's start with the results of last semester...speaking of which, this is the new semester already. It has been that long. For last semester, i supposed i did fairly decent considering the amount of effort i put into it. I guess i am really digging the part where fun and study does not have to be mutually exclusive. So far in this semester i am glad to say that it remains the same. Just let the flow get to you and soon you will know how to deal with it without a hassle.

Alright, starting with the new semester. Let's first talk about my laboratory sessions...because i am really angry about it.
Since this year i don't have much friends in the same session with me, i had to take a random, unknown stranger as my lab partner. It just so happens that this person, let's call her A, came into the lab around the same time as i did. As i was asking the lab manager about finding a lab partner, she stepped up and volunteered.
A is a foreign student...you know, A is a bad representative letter, so let me change from A to H. H is a foreign student. At first sight, i was actually glad that my partner is her because she gives me the feeling that she knows her stuff. However, as the experiments went on i realised that it was not the case.
Let me start off by saying how unprepared she was for every lab session. We were expected to read up on relevant materials in order to not be confused during the experiments. Sad to say for her that it was not the case, as she had the habit of coming in and doing nothing, while reading the manual on the spot. That is one.
Next, how ridiculously inconsiderate she is to others. The best way to for me to describe this would be her complete lack of consideration of other groups by just taking their apparatus if we ever needed replacements. I should point out that on multiple occasions she damaged apparatus and did not follow safety instructions. Her first instinct was to just grab whatever she could find on the other tables, which others would be using. Hence, it seems like she was fine with punishing others for the blunders she made.
She also has the habit of bailing earlier than me...like not assisting in dismantling the apparatus and just leaving me to do the cleaning up. Those are 2.
Lastly, she also has the bad habit of asking me to do the analysis part for her. After the experiments, i would have to expect a few messages and answer her questions, where in fact we should be doing this analysis part by ourselves. I think this is a common problem throughout, that people will keep asking their lab partners for help in analyzing. I would be fine with it if she didn't display the previous 2 annoying traits. This is three.
Good thing by now i only have one last experiment to do with her. I cannot wait for this ordeal to be over.
On the note of laboratory sessions, i should be happy that so far my lab evaluations are successful and i didn't space out in confusion as much as the last semester. I guess i am getting pretty good at it when i understood the requirements.

Next big thing i want to talk about would be my tuition sessions with students from the centre. Honestly speaking, i am currently teaching a student who is way below the par level of students on her level. I have no idea whether is it intentional or genuine. Sometimes i feel so desperate in making her remember the things taught to her i just feel like giving up. It didn't help that every week i have to spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to remind her of things already taught to her previously. I guess to a certain extent i can understand how some professors feel in the same way when we forget about things.
I can only wait and see how things proceed from this point on.

Another big thing i want to talk about would be this event called the SP event in school, which i participated. Basically it is something like a matchmaking but the girls will pick their partner. So far, i have been talking a lot with a lady for quite some times. Hopefully someday i could ask her out and maybe advance further? No idea.
...but it scares me to some degree. I sometimes doubt myself for having the ability to hold relationships, a committed one, with a lady. I was free since birth, for a total of close to 24 years. I might yearn for companionship but i am a little scared when things come to such close proximity.
I will still try.

Those were pretty much the more important things i would want to write down definitely. I also have a new manager for work in school. Nice guy so no much of a difference to me actually.
This is all i have to say currently so...to be continued.
