Day 10: Re-adjusting
Monday, July 6, 2009
4 and half years ago when I first landed on Singapore soil, it was a totally new experience for me coming from India. Not just the language(Singlish) and culture, but also in school-the teaching techniques were very different. I got used to using the scientific calculator and was pretty hooked onto it as it simplified a lot of tedious mental calculations that I was used to doing back home.In JC the GC was introduced. GC was a great friend, helping out in times of need. It even helped store Formulas for some of us who weren't sure we will remember all the necessary formulas during the examination(: And just when I was well-adjusted in the Singapore society and its education system I had to leave s'pore to come back to India.
Now I am having trouble 're-adjusting' back into my own country's social, cultural and most difficult of all- educational ways. The difference between living in an almost first world country and in a third world country is evident everywhere but the one that affects me the most now is the primitive methods of education here.Nobody's uses calculator and I don't think they've even heard of a Graphic Calculator. So, Goodbye my calculators. There are worse things like Log tables and Chemistry.
Basically I'm just tired of moving from one place to another, adjusting there, making great friends there just to go back to another place and adjust all over again.I guess I'm stuck in this cycle of moving-->adjusting-->leaving from place to place. I hope that if I'd ever have to move again, I'd move to a place where I can meet my friends. Moving to a new place sucks!!!
PS: Sorry for whining so much in my posts.I will try to write about awesome stuff soon.
