One Good Man
I really need to tell the whole world about this... good deeds should never go unnoticed or be unappreciated or unsung... yes... this is what i truly believe and why i am writing this stuff now...
The physics midterm will be two days from now... Mr Yours Truly is still struggling like mad... no confidence at all on how to go about doing all those questions... basically, i am in deep yogurt... really really deep chocolate flavor yogurt... yes... situation is bad... seeked help from Azwan and Satchi... got some confidence but not enough... bad...very bad... then came the surprise... my discussion instructor... Prof Uher, offered to give a review session for the classes he teach... which is something really extra.. he dun get paid to do this... now... it is not as if i had never attended a review session before... but those i attended in the past are really really useless... so i was like.. "ok... i will just give it a try..." and i was trying to find out his office hour yesterday... and boy... i was surprised to see that he is actually the Chair of the physics department of UofM... eh... not as if he got nothing better to do leh... this man is like the head... overseeing so much thing... and yet he still willing to spend two hours helping idiotic kids like me... doing those sums that are ridiculously easy for him... can you imaging how touch i was??? coz yesterday when i got to know his "true color", i still dunnoe he is holding a review session today... and i was like WAHHHh... i got a big-shot as my discussion instructor... felt damn privileged lahz... but seriously what he did today really really touched me... so what if those 30 odd kids in his discussion class are idiots like me who will probably bomb their midterm??? He is the freaking Chair... his job is more or less secured... ok... MAYBE ... he do get paid for that TWO HOUR of review session... but hey... get real... that guy is probably earning more money than to really care about that two miserable two hour of extra pay lahz... so you see... this is really really a good act... and that two session is really really useful... so much of my doubts are cleared... and seriously... i am so so so grateful... this is such a small gesture to make from someone high high up like him... those problems that we go through today are like... DUH questions for him... in fact, the Profs in UofM are all really really good in their work... but yet... how many are willing to go the extra miles for their student??? I did not have any review session for my chemistry classes back in spring??? my computing prof never offer any review session.... so you see... this is really a kind act that one must really spread and appreciate... and further more Prof Uher was not there to talk cock ok!!! you could see him really being there to help... within that two hours, he covered almost all types of questions that could come out... went through all the theories... and when the questions that he had prepared was done, you could see him still trying to squeeze out possible type of questions that could come out... sitting there watching him scratching his head and brainstorming is really really... hmm.. i dunnoe... must have used the word TOUCHED a million times by now liao... but then again, my pathetic pool of english vocabulary is kinda limiting me to use other words...
hmm... feel really good now... i am going to mug the hell out of myself for the physics midterm... cannot let Prof Uher down after all that he has done... yup yup... now... how the hell do you do those 3D vector questions?!?!?!? @#$%... hahahahahaha
