Seven

Again, it's Friday. My mom said something like this when she first taught me the names of the seven days in a week. Every Day came with its owning meaning along with its name. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember most of them except for "Friday". "Friday is called "Friday" because it's the day to 'fly away'",quoted from my mom who was talking to her five/six-year-old daughter. She was right as Fridays used to be the days I yearned for. It is only when I was told to create an academic blog that I started to loathe Fridays. It's something akin to the condition when you are suffering from gastric pain- you vomit even though you didn't eat anything and you have your face on top of the toilet bow for hours and at last all that come out from your mouth are the yellowish liquid.

Again, I have to clarify that this is only my personal opinion about this...blogging stuff. Anyway, three good things happened today(which is Friday). Firstly, we were encouraged to voice up our dissatisfaction regarding to palpable injustice in the arrangement of our timetable. Why do architecture students get afternoon classes always and what privilege do the engineering students possess to have their classes in the morning and then spend the rest of the day happily at home? Please do not tell me that it is fair as all of us have the same length of studying in the college. It is an indisputable fact that engineering students have more time to study or to do homework or for whatsoever things they want to do compared to architecture students who have to attend classes at the afternoon.

Normal human beings sleep at night and work during the day. We(architecture students) have to stay up late night and wake up early in the morning to do our homework and revision as well whereas the engineering students live a normal and healthy lifestyle as they are all given 6-hour-daytime to complete everything they have to. You may suggest a healthy lifestyle practice for the architecture students.For example, sleep at 12am and wake up at 7am to set off the day. If all of us were to practise this so-called 'healthy lifestyle', the lecturers could probably expect the students to sleep during their lessons. This will eventually influence our studies as we could not concentrate at all. How to focus when you feel drowsy? The only way to cure drowsiness is to close your eyes and sleep, isn't it? That's why when I first looked at my Ausmat timetable I've already felt a great dislike to it. Now, although it is stated that 'the voice of the students is more powerful', I don't think the college authority could make any differences either. That's life. Life's meant to be mean.

Back to the three good things that happened today. The second thing was that we were asked if we needed any transportation from our student houses to the college. It's so touching that they finally take heed of the existence of the architecture students who are in the afternoon session after the seven weeks of the course commencement. They provide shuttle vans scheduled 8.30am, 1.00pm, and 5.30pm for the students before this. Thank to them that most of the architecture students have to wake up as early as that of the engineering students even though their classes start at 1pm. [Bear in mind that the vans refused to send the students from student house to college at 1pm as they only provide the 'college-to-houses' service at that time.] Again, architecture students have been put in the state of oblivion. Do you know how each of us[girls in particular] risks our lives as we cycled to college under the blazing sun with no signs of human beings except the construction workers who look at us in an offensive way? In fact, if you have ever tried to cycle from BU6 to the college, you'll know how energy-consuming it is that you lose all your strength when you reach your destination and as a result, you will be too exhausted for the lessons! It's great that they show their concern at last.

Well, the last thing is nothing more than my personal stuff. I could only say that I would try harder.

Again and again, I have to clarify that I bear no means of condemning any parties. Till then.
