Cheeky as I am, I've got names for my lecturers! Wanna hear?!
Mr. Phillips,A a.k.a 'Leng Chai teacher'- I remember vividly when we entered our third year in Adelaide, everyone was talking about him! Everyone!! Sure enough, he's the Prince Charming among the lecturers. I bet other girls were secretly in their 'la-la land' rather than concentrating while he was lecturing. Quite unfortunate for me, I didn't feel the same way as I loathed him for misleading us after one exam last year. But during the counselling sessions this year, I found him very amiable and funny! And he's rather precise in picking up our weaknesses, and I credit him for that.
Dr. Ward,M a.k.a 'The Brainy' - Molecular Chemical Basis of Therapeutics (MCBT) is his forte. But it seemed to me that he could well teach other subjects such as Pharmacology and Applied Therapeutics with his broad knowledge. I'm sure we can recall "that guy" in our class, the one who was smarter than the rest of us. I think in his year, it was him. He's got layers- some may perceive him as obnoxious but if you speak personally speak to him, he is willing to share his knowledge and wisdom. Surprise, surprise is his way of expressing his sarcasm. And if you notice closely when he smiles, he sure melts people's heart. He's the man! Haha...
Dr. Sorich, M a.k.a 'The Cute Clicker'- *I can hear girls screaming at their top of lungs* He DOES NOT look like a lecturer AT ALL!!!!!!! He blends in so well with the students as depicted on the picture on top. Plus, he's Sooooooo... CUTE! He's married anyway. But that's not my point. I really liked his lectures because he does it interactively (like a game show where you click your answers) by setting questions and answers (which were hilarious! Some weren't related to the questions at all), not the conventional taking notes type of class. And his lecture notes were very neat and organized. I like!! And he's CUTE. Okay, did I say that again? His blue eyes are so captivating. I remember speaking to him about my potential thesis project last year, and I could not recall a single word he said. That's right, my mind drifted elsewhere. *Ahem*
Dr. Des, W a.k.a 'The PK expert'- If you have any questions about pharmacokinetics or anything associated with it, he's the guru! And don't you ever dare say that we dont' ever need to look at PK or a drug's chemical sructure considering that we've got out therapeutic facts. I have high respect for this man. Seriously. I find him very caring because he looks after S.I.T-ians very well. Truly appreciate that.
Dr. Ivanka a.k.a 'The cutie'- This teacher is adorable. =) She's petite, but don't let her fool you. With her unique experiences combined with ample knowledge, she's an amazing teacher. I've gained so much input from her tutorials and for the first time, I really enjoyed Medication Management tutorials. It was interactive and enjoyable. I had heaps fun, laughing out loud when Dr. Ivanka and Dr. Wiese pair up as tutors in the counselling session. They're incredibly funny because they tease each other.
Dr. Wiese a.k.a 'The Nice One' - He gives good advice and he is very straight forward. That's what I like about him. Unlike some other teachers who beat around the bush. *grrr* During one of the counselling sessions last year, he spoke so softly that I almost leaned on him. Nevertheless, he is very generous and his words of wisdom in the last lecture made me teary.Boohoo.
Yep, so these teachers are the highlights for me. Don't think I'll ever forget them...
As I looked back on these past years, I've realised we've grown so much and no doubt continue to grow in terms of knowledge and wisdom. Sometimes I've even forgotten our age and I thank you for reminding me (24, hey?) Thanks for putting up with my silliness and naive thinking. Here's sending you my love and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow.
