Yesterday was day 2 of the orientation programme for PJC, and it was very very very worrying. Basically for the most part of the day, we went to intro-lectures where we were exposed to the various subjects and how difficult they'd be. We knew JC wouldn't be easy, but what I saw was something way beyond comprehensible means! Maths was okay, but only because it didn't give much details other than the things we'd be doing for our syllabus, yeah like we'd know what to expect when you just give us the topic titles >=(. Chemistry was the scariest in my opinion. The teacher was trying to be very realistic, so he used an 'O' level chemistry question and gave us the answer, it was a rather simple question, basically how to get an organic compound to change into another, but then came the 'A' level standard answer, which was to basically add in more details into the steps of how the new product came to be. I only recall alittle of his talk, but stuff like nucleophylic substitution reaction or whatsoever doesn't really bode well for me, so PASS. :D
After all the intro-lectures were said and done, we were left to do our own OG time, and it was the last one we'd be having! :( The OG leaders were going to leave us already so it was quite sad. But they left us with a parting gift, and that was the contact list of everybody in our OG, and some parting words as well. And after a rather short debrief, we were released.
Day 3:
Today was day 3, and since I completed most of my intro-lectures yesterday, I didnt want to stick around and do nothing for 3 hours or so, so my friends and I decided to go play basketball. We found alot of guys who wanted to do so as well, but man the answer we got was reaaaally not very satisfactory: "The P.E. department does not loan balls." Sounds kinda... Off. Anyway, we were basically walking around alot and just talking about decisions on how our subject combinations should be like. I was caught in the dilemma between Chemistry and Physics, because both seemed just as mortifying, but I was clearly bothered about Chemistry's intro-lecture. So at the end of it, it SHALL BE PHYSICS! We had loads of crappy stuff happening to us in between the walking around sessions for like 3 hours, sitting in the library to cool off and other stuff. At the end of the day, there was a CCA exhibition, and I am now considering between tennis or maybe a club. Seeing that studying should be more important, just as how nice my testimonial should be, I guess this is a rather important decision to make. Oh well, lessons begin tomorrow, or rather the lectures, time to go to school!
OG5!
