Orientation

Yesterday I attended NAFA Freshmen Orientation Program. I felt young and vibrant once again. The registration, welcoming speech and introducing of staffs reminisce those schooling days. Now that I'm one of the student and also a lecturer to my students. I need to role play both roles well. My greatest concern is not mess up both of my schedules, since both my time-tables are schedules back to back!

For MA program, it is very self-driven. So most time I've to disciple on time management. I spoken to the program coordinator who seems to be very nice to work with. He shows me around the studio whereby I'll be station at for the next 1 year. The studio basically is a place where you can work and create your design work, drawing anything related to the area of your study. The size is slightly smaller than a bedroom from what I see. Each MA student will get a studio space while BA students got to share 4 to a studio. Being an early bird, I got to choose my space. I can start moving my belonging by next Monday.

This time round, the teaching schedule was against my learning sessions, so lot of changes were made to accommodate my schedule. Thanks to the modules arrangement person Bee Lian, who has been very accommodating to my request. The NAFA lecturing schedule is in order, but not for my RP facilitating schedules. As the term in RP is on going till 23 Aug, I've problem continue with 3 facilitating days. The class which I've to drop was the best class I ever had. Sigh! It sounded very last minutes but it the best I can do for both school. Thanks to Friso the module chair who granted my request. Another 4 more lessons to go before term break. Meantime, I just have to toggle between work & study. All the best to myself!
