The chattering, the laughter, the childish jokes – they’re all back. I sat in front of 8 ladies in a lecture theatre listening to the lecturer introducing logarithm, quadratic equations and sets. It’s all something that I have learnt before and this course is more to cater to people who have basically forgotten all their mathematics.

I sat there writing some notes on my work (not the lecture basically) and unintentionally – okay, perhaps a little intentionally – eavesdrop on what the ladies are talking about. I tell you they make the most unfunny jokes you’ll ever hear. I couldn’t laugh. It’s just so cold! I felt the temperature drop each them they tried to misinterpret what the lecturer is trying to remark.

It’s actually like back in polytechnic. After I exit from the lecture hall, I looked at the other two-hundred students, all eagar to learn how to add and subtract. I saw two of my friends too. I perhaps won’t be that lonely this coming semester but it really depends. I can sense not a lot of people are serious about studying there. Most, like me, don’t seem to know why they are in a bloody mathematics class!

Still it felt good. I mean – school felt good. I shan’t complaint too much. Welcome to university, I said to myself.
