This week (end, more precise), I studied for my final exams and went for a pottery-making session! Well, I've never try it before, so I might as well give it a shot.
OK. Starting with my first topic, the study! Well, the study vibe in SNU is not THAT strong compared to what I experienced in Singapore. Probably, students here take it less serious and thus, less competitive. The entrance competition to enter SNU is indeed very fierce, but the competition INSIDE SNU is not THAT competitive. As the result, students played a lot and studied not so much. In contrast to what happened in Singapore, the entrance competition is not very competitive, but the school is as competitive as life-death matches.
Well, all in all, I need to study to give a good impression that exchange students from Singapore are indeed (near) to perfection.
Oh, and there is no such things as "EXAM WEEK" in SNU. The final exams were conducted on usual class sessions. =)
The next topic about pottery making. I was making a mug and a tea-cup. I made a mug with musical pattern on it, inscribing a few notes which was full of meaning to me. I also made a tea cup, hexagonal in shape to fulfill my geeky-demand of being a chemist. HAHA! Bayer strain theorem would explain that to you. =P
These clay-games were really A PAIN, I told you. A PAIN. It was so difficult to mold them to what I like. From these session, I started to contemplate and begin to appreciate what Michaelangelo had brought to us. A great man, indeed.
peace
