    Yesterday I took several photos of my university… each photo has a story… enjoy~

  Syntax… The thing is, you see, I chose English Literature because it’s LITERATURE! I don’t want Linguistics! I mean, I love Pragmatics and Applied Linguistics, but still… I can’t be productive in a course that has no logic whatsoever! I’m not taking the course “Syntax” right now, but I did help my ex-roommate study for it… it made no sense at that time and I could’t take it.  The only thing that comforts me is the instructor *heart* She’s so considerate~ Wish me luck… I’ll be taking it the next semester…

   Finally, we were able to have a full-functional smart board, and a professor who knows how to use it!  During the three years and a half I’ve been in the university, I never had the chance to try the smart board… The thing is, many instructors don’t use it and even write on it with permanent pen, making it useless. The student, however, are not allowed to use it because you have to enter your ID in order to launch it… Our professor promised to show us a movie (related to the course) on the smart board… I can’t wait to see it~

  The university’s newspaper “Resalat AlJameah” is not as interesting as it used to be… The only column I love to read now is this “gossip” one where an unknown student cheats and gets caught, or an unknown professor is late for work! This time is about an employee who lies through his teeth to slip out of his job… I love how the editor says this “After killing most of his relatives and pretending the illness of the rest (the living and the dead, ) “[he forgot his glasses and asked his boss to let him go get it for real.  The boss couldn’t take anymore of these lies and didn’t allow him to leave.  He couldn’t do anything during that day without his glasses, so he did nothing of his work, again!]

Well, that is all.  See you guys later~

P.S. This is not my finger . It’s my friend’s~
