We've moved

I'm wirintig this entry from the comfort of our new apartment on-campus. Yes, I got the resident fellow position and have started living on-campus since 3 weeks ago. We've just about settled down, i.e. we've got all our clothes and stuff moved over but our furniture is still at the old apartment. In terms of resident fellow duties, I will be on duty for the first time during the whole of next week when all the students are on their mid-semester break and most staff are away due to the long public holiday (Chinese New Year and Awal Muharram). Luckily we've managed to get the network connection (which is free by the way..woohoo) up and running and we also have Astro installed. I'm hoping those two will be enough to entertain Shah and I all through next week. Although I've got tonnes of work which I have to complete during the mid-sem break.

In about two months from Sunday Shah and I will be celebrating our 4th anniversary. I can't believe it'd been that long. Even though we have our ups and downs but I have to say most of the time we've spent together has been filled with lots of laughter and stupid jokes which we love to make together. I just pray that it will all last for years and years to come.

I'm jumping from topic to topic here because it's been quite a while since I've got to let out my rants and raves. So, whoever you are out there reading this, just bear with me. Last week i gave my students their first test. And from the one of the two piles that I've marked it looks like not many of them did well in the test. I'm really wrecking my brain thinking where have I gone wrong. Is it me not getting to them or them not bothering to understand what I'm saying. Honestly I have no idea. But there must be some way I can put across what I want them to understand efficiently and effectively. Today I handed them a questionaire to gauge what they don;t undrstand and what they think about my teaching methods as well as the course content. Hmm..I don't know what to say. Maybe I'll think up something/some way to be more effective during this term break.

I think I'd better stop now before I start babbling nonsense.
