Big lectures : a disaster

I slept around 5am, and woke up at around 9am today, restless preparing for the upcoming lecture for a day now. For the first time, i have to attend to teach a group of students alone in a lecture, it is really tiring. Met one of my buddy, my Yee Yee (sorry CY) lol. Guess what, i know her from friendster (through other friends) since, 2007? and i met her in real life after a year and a half later. She is an extremely funny and humorous person to me. She can joke, she can laugh, she can be wild, she can be ... forget about it, lol. Thanks to her for spending few hours with me today. Also thanks to Yonal (my PhD collegue) for taking this picture for us, finally managed to snap a pic with her lol.

For the very first time, I am have to handle such big lecture of approximately 62 students. Wait, not normal student's, a bunch of barbarians instead :S Usually i will go into lectures with my supervisors and not alone to lectures that has more than 60 students. I can't believe i have to teach a bunch of barbarians today and it is really not an easy task. At first, 12 students appeared and twenty minutes later, a dozen appeared. About fifteen minutes later, about 30 +appeared and started to make funny but weird noises. They are irritating seriously! So what happen is, many started to ask silly questions like "Sir, why is this coursework important?" and "Why do we need to do this coursework?" Well, it is a coursework, so just do it, why ask so much? lol. Somehow, I do admit that some were really good students though where they really pay much attention to what i demanded. Thank god. I started to feel pity for my supervisors to have to teach such students for one whole semester!

I will never say 'okay' to my supervisor anymore if he ask me to personally handle another lecture session like this.
