I entered math class half an hour late but I’m so glad I did that, the math is rather simple and it’s a total bore in there. I sat beside a Malay girl whom I believe is a mute. Sitting a little further down were a bunch of guys excitedly talking about some game they played. I tried listening in and finally concluded that they are playing MapleStory.
When a bunch of people talk here and there, the volume just goes higher and higher, soon the lecture theatre resembles the ambience of Carrefour hypermart at Plaza Singapura and that is when the lecturer step in to shut us up.
(So bored I tried writing numbers upside down.)
I didn’t have a book to read. I left my house at noon and brought out The Kite Runner (by Khaled Hosseini) to read but finished it before I got into the lecture theatre. The Kite Runner is a wonderful book by the way, very moving story too. Anyway, I sat there practicing writing my numbers upside down. I used to be able to do it quite well.
The lesson finished after 3 hours - okay 2.5 hours since I am late half hour - and I left for the bus stop. It’s the longest wait I had and I never seen so many people outside SIM before. They’re all waiting to board the bus.
The whole math class is getting more and more boring. Sometimes I wonder if I would get slack and stop attending the classes. I don’t feel that I am learning something particularly useful too, it’s secondary school Additional Mathematics and it is quite simple with no assignments. When my class starts on September, I hope I’ll be more hardworking than that for sure.
