Sick and tired

Fwah!

A long week this has been for me. Finally, i could stop for a moment and take a breather.

The start of a new semester is upon me, and already, within this 4 days, it seems as though 4 weeks had passed.

Never have i felt so tired in such a while. Not even when i was going through summer course. But then, i believe its not the lessons that had made me weary. It is the sorting out of my timetable that had the most profound effect on my mental health.

Never have i seen such horrendous clashing amongst lectures that i have to attend this semester.

2 hours worth of lectures..

Can you believe it?

2 hrs.

Each and every one of these lectures are important to my progress in the Uni as they're pre-requisites for modules i'll be taking in the future. And they clash!

[In this scenario, you'd normally see others start blaming so-and-so for causing this abnormality; of which i absolutely have to as its not my fault at all!]

In fact, most of the mid-year entry students are facing the same problem as me. We had gone seeking the advice of the school office in what subjects we're supposed to take for the new semester. Once given the advice, we dutifully followed as we believe they know what's best for us.

But then they don't. If they did know what's best, how else to explain the 2 hrs worth of lectures i have to forgo just to attend another 2hr lecture?

What a bunch of bollocks

Apparently, they'd forgotten to plan the timetables for us mid-year students at all. In fact, it seems every mid-year intake students seem to have timetables that seemed all so wrong!

Hello! You're one of the top 8 universities in Australia. You have a great teaching environment, wonderful tutors etc. But honestly, your service sucks.

I'm a student of the Uni; no different than any other students that walk the walkway. The only minor difference between us and them is the times in which we've enrolled into the Uni. But yet you seem to favour normal intake students over mid-year students. You plan their timetables properly. You change their timetables promptly. Hell, you'd even wipe their backsides if they asked you to!

Please, open your eyes. Regard us as proper students as well. Have a proper systematic planning of how midyear entry students could go about their studies without worrying about the clashes they have in their timetables. You may be a great University, but if you fail to plan, you've already planned to fail. You may attract lots of talented students during the mid-year intake. But alot of negative sentiments would surely arise if these same students found out what a terrible mistake they've made in enrolling into a Uni that shortchanges them all the time.

Ok, i've finally aired my greivances.

Ah.. I feel so much better..
