Stuff Learned in Classes
February 14, 2009 – 12:23 pmI look over the Biology book, and I know that I’ve learnt all of them before and things far more difficult. And it seems almost impossible. I look at the chemistry book I brought along, and wonder at how I actually knew it all at one time. It’s been nearly two years, I might as well be learning everything from scratch. Not to mention it’s all in a different language. It’s all somewhat frustrating, having to learn things that I know I’ve learnt before but can’t remember anyway.
Which is why, perhaps, that I prefer stuff like history or arts, for the time being. Things I’ve never studied that much, although I’ve heard of before. Always a sense of pride when China’s history is talked about. Granted, it’s been nearly 4 years since I last studied history in school, but how many people from Malaysia actually get the chance to study China’s history? A brilliant history - very very lengthy though.
Books are terribly expensive and terribly thick. There are always ways to get around it - used books are a great source. Or rentals. I think used books would be better, because you can sell it and get back some money. Of course, unless a new edition comes out, which will make your book drop a lot in value, which is what is happening to a few of my books. Which is sad.
