Why I am not having a good time.

1.

I wanna get a bigger windsurfing sail. I have a 8.5, and it was good on my slalom board, but still not cutting it for my formula. I have another slalom board coming along, but it's a Starboard iSonic 150, and I think I'll probably need a bigger sail for that too. I have been contemplating a North Ram 9.9msq, cost aside, I may not be able to handle it because it has 4 cams! I also noticed that if I don't down haul my 8.5 enough,it's a bitch to handle! And I do mean bitch!

I have spent a few years of my life now, in an educational institute in Singapore, and honestly, I did spend most of that lost in my own world,barely coping with the workload,totally not knowing what I was learning, except that there was far too much. I know the real world necessity of some of the concepts that were shoved by the truckload down our throats (I have worked for quite a few years), but the way these concepts were put across was, in my opinion; having been a student for so many years, the most atrocious attempt at imparting knowledge that I have come across. Through the few years that I have studied there, I have come across pathetic excuses for professors, whose grasp of the English language limits them to a sad attempt at explaining a concept with mathematical equations. Regurgitation then becomes the name of the game and the building of an interest for different fields of learning is totally non-existent!

I truly believe that this has got to stop. I think the universities should go look at the other institutes of higher learning, and ask themselves why students from there are getting more jobs and better career advancement! Hire me, And I'll spell it out for you, compile it into a 5 hour lecture, and then you people can go memorize my points, all thousand of them. And yes, there is a reason why professors who know what they are doing are leaving, to a place that dishes out a less embarrassing education.
