Each day in NTU presents me with several scenerios at which I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Case in point:
Yesterday, a pint-sized man dressed in a checkered shirt and khaki pants walked into my laboratory class, and we were promptly told to "Zwoar ze zwoarer in eh choo poin perspehtif wif ze koreect mezwahmen. Yoo haf choo arse."
After much discussion with my fellow labmates, we decided that he meant "Draw the drawer in a two point perspective with the correct mesurements. You have two arses." (In case you cannot tell I'm joking, he meant two hours.) With the number of foreign professors here in NTU, you'd think that native english speakers were either retarded or barred from obtaining PhDs. It really is awfully difficult to understand what they're saying sometimes. It's amusing after it's over, but so bloody annoying when you're sitting there attending a lecture you didn't even want to go for in the first place.
But on the brighter side, the new physics lecturer is a hoot. How many lecturers do you know begin lectures by blasting Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, complete with pre-recorded applause? At the applause, he started doing the presidential wave, and proclaimed that he was in training for Xiao Hua Xiao Cao. Okay, so he isn't that funny, but any attempt at comedy in a physics lecture is always commendable.
In other news, german test today was
nicht gut. Ich finde Deutsche sehr schwierig und Ich mag Deutsche nicht. But that aside, I'm done with all the important things this week so...BRING OUT THE BOOZE!! Mummy, if you're reading this, I'm only kidding.
This blog is getting unbelievably brainless.
