• Don’t slow down!

  Riding my bike everyday is actually really stressful. The paths are crowded, and I have to hold onto the brakes at all times and go really slowly. I always get stuck behind people who are walking slowly and don’t seem to react to my bell at all. Taking it onto the train is also very difficult, especially at peak hours when the train is already crowded enough.

  Then again, I don’t HAVE to ride my bike if I don’t want to, but I wouldn’t have it any other way now, even if it means arriving in class looking as if I’m melting and all stressed out.

  I arrived at my maths lecture on time today. Now that I’ve had a lecture for advanced linear algebra, being in the advanced unit doesn’t seem like such a good idea after all, because the lecturer’s accent was really difficult to understand. He also writes the letter r in a reversed way so that it doesn’t look like an r to many people in the class, and someone actually asked what that symbol was. That was hilarious.

  I have to rearrange my clashes again today. I think I’m better off clashing the maths tutorial with the computer engineering lecture, since it’s all information that’s in the textbook. Someone else said that the lecturer was going too fast. I had trouble paying attention because I was too tired, but even then I thought the pace wasn’t that fast (then again, I don’t think it can be any faster without skipping any information). Then again, it’s mainly stuff that I already know, so I can’t say anything. This always seems to happen to me. I always have at least one class where someone says it’s too fast and I can’t honestly agree because I already know most of it so there isn’t that much new information, but I don’t want them to know that I already know it either. Just the kind of thing that happens to me. Too bad there isn’t an advanced unit for that. I’ll have to be extra careful not to lose motivation. That’s me. I have the patience to spend 40 hours hand-sewing a dress, but I don’t have the patience to follow a slow-moving class.
