End of the first week

This is just the end of the first week, yet I'm pretty sure most of the Ngee Ann Poly students are grateful for the weekends. Starting Year 2 is really hitting the ground running. Our lecturers expect all of us to get used to them within a couple of days, even though it is extremely clear that what the students need is more time. But time is a luxury all of us can't afford. All of us are scrambling to get our stuff done and prepare ourselves mentally and physically for the oncoming waves of projects and assignments. I can tell you that Year 2 is really taxing, and the freshies are having a hard time adjusting to the new culture exposed to them. One can see that they are quite shocked at the amount of freedom polytechnics are giving them. But of course, everything comes with a price. The ones that are disciplined will be able to attain a good GPA, while those who cannot control themselves will suffer. I must say, poly is an extremely diverse place to be in.
