Semester 1

It feels kinda strange to be back in school and be surrounded by young people! Even though it's a postgraduate class, the students are unbelievably young with a few exceptions of working adults like myself. Majority of them are also international students and you almost won't feel like you are studying in Australia. Thinking back, the US university classes were definitely a lot more engaging & interesting, with more open discussions. Last Friday, I had to sit through 3 hours of lecture with the professor reading straight from the powerpoint slides! Some students from China also decided that they would cure their own boredom by talking amongst themselvs in Chinese. Sigh. I miss being a student in LA!
