In order of least to most irritating:
-------------------------
10. The science canteen always seems to have a shortage of seats when you want to have your lunch.
-------------------------
09. You hope to enjoy a nice meal of <insert what you would like to eat> before rushing off to your next lecture/tutorial location. However, upon reaching the canteen, you realise that lunch would be chicken rice.
-------------------------
08. Your lecturer likes to name his PowerPoint Slides as below:
Lecture 01 (Draft).ppt
Lecture 01 (Revised).ppt
Lecture 01 (Complete).ppt
Lecture 01 (Summary).ppt
-------------------------
07. That group of f****rs sitting behind you during lectures is yakking/blabbering away non-stop for the whole of the lecture. Apart from the noise, the voices are high-pitched and ear-piercing.
You never understood the language they were speaking.
-------------------------
06. You have 20 choices to ballot for your non-lecture sessions, as described below:
- 2 lab sessions
- 5 tutorials
- 1 recitation class
= Total of 8 slots to ballot for
That gives you only 3 choices for 4 slots, and 2 choices only for the other 4 (3 x 4 + 2 x 4 = 20).
You are bothered because ranking tutorial A from module A as No. 1 choice doesn't make the other modules any less important. And you know that there is a chance you'd be stranded without any slot (in which case, you'll need to go down to the office for a manual registration). You then finally manage to sort it out and put your so-called "priorities" respectively. When the balloting results come out, you realise that you did not get even your first 3 choices.
When you meet your friend from a non-SoC faculty, he/she tells you that he/she only needs to ballot for 2 tutorial slots with the 20 choices.
-------------------------
05. Your tutorial class has students who are so inquisitive with their out-of-syllabus questions, even if it means asking them before the tutor has finished going through the weekly tutorial. Your class is thus delayed 10 minutes into the next hour.
-------------------------
04. Your tutor plays along and conveniently forgets the time as well.
-------------------------
03. You check up this module and plan your timetable accordingly:
Lectures - Tues & Thurs
Labs - Monday
Tutorials - Friday
All your other modules slot nicely into the other days.
On the day of balloting, you realise that Friday tutorial sessions no longer exist.
-------------------------
02. You assure yourself that good/honesty will prevail, when your friend confides in you that he took his laboratory code from another friend. You keep it to yourself, because you feel that ultimately, he will not learn anything by doing so, and when the examinations come, he will be clueless to answer the questions. He may even risk getting caught by the school.
On the day of release of results, he excitedly tells you he's gotten an A-.
You check your grades: B+.
--------------------------------------------------
And for the MOST irritating thing being an SoC student...
01. This weird guy follows you to the computer labs. Wen you reach into your bag to fish for your matric card to unlock the doors, sweating and panting from the afternoon heat, he stands behind you folding his arms like a cool cucumber.
He's waiting for YOU open the door for him.
