table hog

Just imagine it's peak hour and you are doing homework with your group of friends at the canteen, with people standing around hunting/waiting for empty tables.

Now, how about imagine your lunch break is ending soon, yet you still can't find a table, and you see almost a third of the canteen filled with aliens doing homework with no sign of food on the tables at all, and no sign of them leaving anytime soon since it looks like a whole lecture group of morons rushing assignments last minute.

There are appropriate places for studying and there are appropriate places for eating. Just because of this cohort of insensitive university students, I had to buy sandwiches and eat inside a lecture theatre.

I wish I bought a bowl of curry chicken noodles and spill some curry onto their precious assignment (or laptop, just like Mr Bean). Pig head would be too extreme.

  • Wah fierce.

    Some people are out there doing last minute mugging when they should have done it on a earlier date, they procastinate procastinate and procastinate until the cows come home and then they try to finish up their assignment at the expense of people who genuinely wish to have a meal.

    NTU doesn't have that problem, but we do have people who leave stacks of notes on the study tables in the library for like the whole day to book the slot.

    What do you suggest I do with these people Mr Chow?

  • from what I saw at NTU canteen A, I think as long as it's not crowded, it's still ok to study at canteen lah.

    NUS also like that, when exam period is around the corner every study room and library also has people booking slot with bags. I think I bitched about that last semester, report police for suspicious article.

  • still, they don't have to do it at canteen during lunch time right? Somemore arts ppl also come to engin canteen nowadays... mass is not conserved lor!

  • well then i apologize on behalf of all the year 2 chemical engineers.. call it weird, but every monday without fail the whole corort make their way to techno edge by 10am to rush our weekly assignment.

    of course at that time the whole canteen is still mostly empty so we'll take seats until our deadline at 12.

    being an engineer yourself, i'm sure you can understand the mad rush of graded assignments, even if it's like 1% of final grade. if you think it's bad in ME, well.. it's highly probable it's a lot worse in ChE.

    anyway it's not like we enjoy hogging the seats either. if given a choice it'll be to hell with the assignments. just an example of how cumulative action by large groups of people cause inconvenience to others but they don't realise it themselves..

    i know.. what a sorry life we live right? so take heart. =) even though an apology can't make up for 11 lunches lost..

    cheers! ^^ all the best.

  • hey chill~ s0unD aS|eep!

    I only missed one lunch (if i remember correctly) and the rush for graded assignment is really mad no matter how tiny the weightage is, makes me feel stupid at times though.

    Now that semester is ending, thinking back it was quite a sight to see so many ppl doing homework and hogging table =P (and I thought they were yr1s!)

    I know ChE still have paper this week, all da best too!
