Terribly Ashamed
29 March 2009 Sunday | 2:32 | Platform 9¾

#1- The new term began two weeks ago. I wasn’t the only one to gasp (loudly!) when the lecturer in charge of the third module informed us that she didn’t want a typewritten essay. The 300 word assignment was to be done in class. With pen and paper.

My gosh. I speak broadcastable Mandarin on a daily basis and I’m surrounded with Chinese characters all day, be it reading news scripts or writing radio drama lines. I am obviously proficient enough in this language, but over reliance on the computer has resulted in me using a pencil to complete the composition. I had to rely on the phone(‘s Chinese SMS function) when I couldn’t remember the exact strokes of at least twenty characters. Is there an additional dash on the right, or slash on the left? Oh man. I’m terribly ashamed.

I need someone to give me 听写。

#2- I still have a short attention span. I totally understand why my teacher-friends confiscate mobile phones and other electronic devices; else the restless kids would be facebooking or twittering in class, like I do in a three hour lecture. I ought to sit still and concentrate. Be a conscientious student like my classmate who comes to class with giant sized lecture notes.

P/S: She regrets this tree-killing mistake, and pledges her support for the next twenty Earth Hours.
