Courses

Colin is leaving to NewFoundland on Sunday. This thursday, I met him for the very last time. It's quite amazing that we became really good friends from volunteering. What's more amazing is he is gonna be a doctor. He is going for Med School at Memorial at St John. Me and Miguel are both very happy for him because there are a lot of heartless doctors out there. And it's really nice to know that Colin, the future doctor, is not one of them. Go Dr Colin!!!

He told me a little about his program. He has to take anatomy, physiology and histology in the same semester. The only thing I could say is it's gonna be a lot of work. The fact that he did not take any of these courses in his undergrad doesn't help with the situation. All these courses are very interesting. I love them all, but putting them altogether in the same semester does NOT relate to the word FUN. BUT he's a smart guy, YOU can DO IT COLIN!!

Coming back to my program, I found out I need to take 7 courses. 5 of them are under the Faculty of Rehab Science, which means they are fixed. English and one General Education(GE) are the remaining 2 course. English doesn't sound like a choice, or does it? There are 18 courses to select from for GE. I have to select 10 courses from the list, rank them into different priorities, they are going to me into the first available one, upon my desire. Honestly, I really don't have much interest in those courses. Since I am a new student, it's very unlikely that I am granted the first choice. Here are the 18 courses.

• Space and Time: From Aristotle to Einstein (Conflict + boring)
• Emergcnce of Hong Kong Society (Absolutely no interest)
• Self, Service and Community (Interested but conflict)
• Appreciation of Cantonese Opera (Not appreciated of Chinese Opera)
• Technology and Society (Not interested)
• An Introduction to Literature in English (May be)
• Creativity and Creative Thinking (Conflict + not interested)
• Life and Death (Very interested but CONFLICT)
• Introduction to Logic (May be)
• World Issues and Human Responsibilities (Please don't...)
• Appreciation of Chinese Art and Design (Not appreciated)
• Introduction to Western Civilization (thank God it's conflict)
• The Four Great Classical Chinese Novels (the novels are very interesting but I haven't read of those)
• Wine Studies (May be but not sure if I'm gonna do well)
• China: Regions and Environment (not interested)
• Marketing and the Consumer (Interested but conflict)
• Facets of Human Relationship in Chinese Society (No Way)
• Creating Novels and Screenplay (Interested but conflict)

Does everybody feel the level of frustration here? So i am left with English Literature, Logic and Wine Studies. I have exactly 3 weeks to think about this.
