I attended the lecture for the second time. Was there any improvement this time around? Honestly, I myself did not know of this answer. To say there was, it only happened when there was a time when it struck me to ask questions but then it was a no when I did not even ask a question to my lecturer. Instead, I allowed her to go on and on until my brain was fully bombarded with too much knowledge. For me, I did not treat it as knowledge for it was a burden for me. It made me an unhappy student for I have always treated knowledge as something gifted, not a burden. Was there something going wrong again this time?
My heart felt when I then realized how much things that I needed to complete. Assignments were everywhere yet I left them unattended. No attention was paid to them until I became conscious of my course mates who were so into the assignments themselves. Deeply inside, I admired them much for none of them were seen to have given up with this course. True, there were a few who were exactly like me, someone who completely had no idea what Dr. Foziah was lecturing about. But they rushed too much (I think) for I was still blurred of the assignments. I did not know how the assignments should be handed in etc. Honestly, the instructions given were too complex yet they were delivered in a fast pace. Thus, I could not comprehend the instructions at all plus with the fact that my mind was already blurred.
Thankfully, there was always an alternative for any problem. Hence, I went and sought for her assistants. Well, I could say that they were excellent assistants for they explained to me patiently just to solve my doubts. My every question was attended to with patience. However, my heart felt when I was told that it was an individual assignment and it was to be handed in next week! I was short of time! I had not got started yet the date due was nearing.
True, I could waste no much time for now. But, I needed much time. It was never easy for me to do things involving technology. Honestly, I did not mind a single bit if I needed to produce teaching aids manually namely drawing a picture and colouring it followed by cutting and pasting it. I would do anything as long as I could stay away from technology. Deep inside, I knew very well that this was impossible. This is a technology course. Thus the percentage of me to stay away from technology was almost a nil. So, I could not give up. I needed to get the technological knowledge but from where?
Well, I am very grateful that this world is full of things. Even my small world (The Malaya University) has plenty of things. There are books, lecturers, computers, internets, friends, undergraduates everywhere in the campus itself. These are the solutions to my problems and doubts. If I use all these things to the fullest, my assignment will no longer be a problem for me.
I am going to do my assignment now. But, will I face problem(s) again this time? I have no idea but I will pray hard.
