A New Case


The buttons on my mobile decided to pop again. This is the second time I am changing the casing. It's been 2.5 years since I last changed it. It was really strange that I had to use a pen to press certain buttons, almost like using a stylus.

In other news, my school doesn't allow students to self-swap classes. An email titled "Self-declared Make-up Class = Absent" was sent out yesterday.

I am from Cohort 6A. I had an urgent appointment to handle yesterday and had to use the afternoon to tackle it. So I went for the morning class (Cohort 6B). Of out courtesy, I asked the school if I could swap, and "NO" was their immediate reply, saying that WDA or MOE might spot check on the school. It wasn't that I was trying to ditch class or that I was hopping over into another Cohort's class. (Same cohort, morning session.) And so what if WDA or MOE decides to spot check on the school? Is it illegal to swap classes?

I know that Education is a privilege. In its purest form, it allows one to better improve skills and knowledge. I am further planning to swap classes so that I can go for Cohort 7's figure drawing classes. How can a school deny me of that? I remembered that studying in the U.S. was NOT like that at all. With an eager desire to learn, instructors and the school authority would make things happen whenever there's an obstacle.

Would love to hear your views! Email, comment or tag. Happy Chinese Lunar New Year and Presidents' Day Weekend!
