Back to School
Monday, August 14, 2006
I had an eventful first day back to NUS as a Year 4 student. I am enrolled in CM1101 Principles of Modern Chemistry as a teaching assistant and today is a training day. I am very surprised that Miss Tan, the laboratory officer, still remembers my name. Here is a verbatim of what she said:" I remember William. He is the talkative guy!" Yup, I was pretty talkative when I was a Year 2 and 3 student in the lab. I especially like to talk to Miss Tan who is so friendly. She is unlike some officers who give me a black face (which speaks: this is so simple and you are wasting my time by asking me!?). I did all the experiments, which the Year 1s will go through, with Lijie, who is enrolled in the same-moduleTA duty.
In the afternoon, I met my Honors Project supervisors: Prof. Sam Li and a graduate student co-supervisor, Junie. They gave me some directions on the project and I feel more assured now. Two interesting statistics: I am the only guy out of 8 honors students under Prof. Sam Li; I am one of the two guys out of almost 20 students (honors, grad, post-grad, UROPS) under Prof. Sam Li.
Evening was spent on some photography books and blogging. I know I shouldn't be doing these... Hehe.
