At last, I can let out a sigh of relief. My supervisor finally accepted the second chapter of my project yesterday. I was so happy that I wasn’t bothered by the fact that I had to wait at least 20mins on the queue to get a bus.  Now I’ll be able to proceed to the [...]

My goodness! How disgusting some students can be! Today, a girl in my Shakespearean poetry class came into the class about 45mins after the commencement of the lecture.  The lecturer asked her politely to “leave the class”.
