recently i signed up for my first ever tuition class in my 9 years of education. it was supposed to be a chemistry tuition class, but i found myself to be an only student there. talk about misfortunes.

anyways, so i decided to look on the bright side of life, and i told myself at least it would be worth the money becus i get one-to-one attention and i can ask all the questions in the world that i wanna ask, questions i dint dare to ask in class becus i thought it'd be too irrelevant and incoherent and mindless and stupid.

but horrors of all horrors, i got a retired teacher who laughs at his own jokes. i donno what it is with teachers in their late years. of all the old teachers that i know, they laugh at their own jokes and think everyone else is equally amused and tickled, but in actual fact they fail to see the eye-rollings and groans and whatevers. or maybe they choose not to see it. ha.

anyways so the old retired teacher was laughin heartily at his own self-created chemistry joke, and for courtesy's sake i laughed a little along, although i donno what the joke is about. it would be quite awkward for him to be laughin alone while i stared at him laughing right, so sometimes i smiled my widest smile, and laughed a little, pretending to understand what his little joke is about.

so for 2 entire hours i spent faking laughs and smiles.

this was how i spent my first tuition class, and i'm dreading the next lesson already. for this first lesson i didn't even dare to ask any questions becus this teacher was so oppressing! he assumes i know my chemistry in and out, out and in, and he says the TYS questions on molecular structure is stupid. this is worse than chem lessons in school.. at least if i took a little nap in class nobody would notice, but here, its one-to-one, he can see my every move. i didnt even dare to yawn.

i thought tuition was supposed to be fun. :S
