Studying Online?

Lets talk about why I dislike online tutorials and lectures. Firstly, it is very confusing. Secondly, you have to be online, signed into the institution's Intranet system from a specified time to a specified time. Because, if you don't, you will be considered absent and therefore, run the risk of getting very low GPA and getting de-barred from exams. Thirdly, you have to stare at the computer screen for 2 hours straight and keep hitting the refresh button. It strains your eyes and makes you feel real sleepy. While I'm definitely pro-technology, but in this case, I still prefer a face-to-face tutorial and lecture session. Because, there are simply too many distractions online.

Last week, my close friend and I, went to Fish and Co for our dinner. Their entire restaurant had a halloween theme. We were not aware of it at first since it isn't so big here and all. We thought someone was having a fancy dress party and booked the entire place or summit. It wasn't till the waiter explained to us that since it was the halloween week and yadda yadda that they were having this theme in their restaurant and other tied-in halloween promotions. That was the closest thing to celebrating halloween for us.
