ScHoOL sTaRtS....

School had started this week.....

I am so LAZY.... Sigh.

And reference books are so goddamn EXPENSIVE!!!! (~_~lll

I've only bought two reference books for this semester and its a freaking 100-bucks gone already!!! And there's more to buy!! I'm not even sure if they are of any good.

Bought quite a number of reference books over the last 3 semesters but seriously I don't even remember properly utilizing any of them. And for some of these books, I have not even bothered to flip through them at all... Not even once!! They were just chucked away and forgotten in a corner since the day I lugged them home, until eventually I start clearing my study area when the semester ends and re-discover them ...

Oh well, that probably explains my grades.... =(

Now I do feel so sorry for my money. Argh.

***************************

Anyway, as usual... The accents of the professors really make me flip sometimes. Just to share some.... =P

Professor A
I heard "Virgin"............... He meant "Version"
I really heard "Croissant Equation"................. He meant "Poisson Equation"
I seriously heard "Sickness".................. When he meant "Thickness"

Professor B
I keep hearing many many "Yam"................. Actually, he meant many many "n"

But no one can beat that Taiwanese Professor who took us for a module last semester!!! My poor dearie had been jotting down "SERVICE" in her notes for a few weeks.... It was only till later when she compared notes with me, did she realised that the Professor had meant to say "SURFACE".

That's not all... In his own words :
Negligible becomes "Neat-Li-Er-Ber"
Derivative becomes "D-Ride-Vie-Thief"
Information becomes "In-Four-May-Sheng"
Mass becomes "Mars"

............Well, you can go on and imagine. In just 18 months in this course, my whole perception of spoken English has changed. Language is really a guessing game. (~_~lll
