different worlds

It isn't so easy studying at a private institute.

Especially IF you come from a middle-class family.

Many would think that getting out of secondary school is a heavenly thing. You won't need to be restricted by the discipline rules, and no need of wearing the ever boring school uniform anymore. Somehow, wearing school uniform isn't a bad thing afterall. Either you wear a brand new one, of a color-worn-out old uniform, no one will really care.

But if you do that at a private college or university, you yourself will feel so bad. You might be stared, or you just feel so strange walking or sitting among peole who dress like they are going for a party.

Especially for a person who spend a lot less on clothings and dressing, like me. It's quite a stressful thing to have to dress differently everyday from the limited size of wadrobe. I wonder how the girls ever have the will and time to dress up with 5-6 pieces of small clothigns jumbled up together then wear 3-4 pieces of necklaces and then make the hair pop up or tied up so that it looks most contra from among the students.

Educational-wise too. When some people know that you are on scholarship, they tend to rely on you. From leaving assignments to your charge until wanting you to 'help' them during tests. And the fact that I feel very weird whenever people start to 'praise' me or stating how 'bad' they are... '_'ll

Recently, our General Biology class has increased 2 times, because of the new special batch of students mostly from Nigeria. This made our lassroom even more packed than before. Worse is, you know... as quoted by some friends, the balcks have a habit of not changing their clothes and recycling them! So, in order to 'solve' this problem, they use a lot of perfume.

You would expect a huge 'scent' whenever you are around them. The worst thing is, when a group of blacks are together, they produce thousands of different scents...or STINK! It's VERY unbearable!!! It can actually make you dizzy!!!
*I wonder how I survived during the time at Pakistan College Beijing. Probably there weren't so many blacks then. And probably.... they change their clothes...*

And since they are from overseas, it's quite a sure thing that they come from rich families. And of rich familes, you would expect majority of them come not to study, but to spend their time, and show their faces...for a few minutes.

Yes, and that's the fact of 60% of the African students in bio class. Some will come in the beginning of the class, and leave just as the lecturer starts lecture. Some would come halfway through class, sign attendance then leave. Some just come almost the end of class, and manage to leave even before class ends! Obviously, they are there just to greet their friends, and sign attendance!

Somehow, they are short of some cells in the brain, or they just don't have a heart. Don't they think they would disturb the other students who were actually listening to the lecture? At least, they disturb ME! They just keep passing around through the seats, blocking people, knocking people, and even knocked off people's stuff on the desk! It's SOOOO IRRITATING AND FRUSTRATING!!!

Pity on them...
