Problematic Japanese schedule

What's going wrong with the Japanese classes esp the tutorials? Our timetable has changes a few times within these few weeks.

First, on our timetable, there's 3 Japanese lectures on Sat itself. But the subject is 3 credit hours, which means we supposed to have 2 lectures. So Mr Rajan has to cancel the 5-7pm class after discussion with Mr Krishnan. That was on the 1st week.

Mr Rajan also said that our tutorial classes to be carried out on Saturdays from Week 2 onwards. That means we EL students who's taking Japanese have 2 days of classes compared to those taking Chinese.I was like rejoiced when I heard that.


But it was a short-lived joy. Within that week itself, we're told to use back the old timetable again. Oh no! We didn't attend any tutorial classes at all cos the classes were cancelled. So gotta find replacement for those classes.

Llast week, Eugene asked for opinion from everyone whether to have 2 tutorial classes on the same day. Majority agreed. So decision was made and this week onwards, we only need to come 9am-12pm on Wed. As for the replacement, it's gonna be next Mon, same time.

Then just now, he announced that we're following our original timetable again. Oh boy, this is terrible and frustrating. He said it's a bit troublesome to find a new time slot and venue for our tutorials as he explains, there's a series of complicated procedures to follow and it takes time to process. Another problem is that our seniors is having their MLE tutorials every Wed, so it's hard for everyone to adjust to certain time slots. In the end we have no choice but to follow our original timetable.

Why is there so much problems? They're like never ending. But I agree with what Rick Warren (who's written the book Purpose Driven Life 标杆人生) says abt problems in life. Life is a series of problems: either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one or you're getting ready to go into another one. But I hope this is the end to this problem regarding this matter.
