just suck it up

People have been speculating, even nosing around on which tutor they are going to get next year.
Some happy. Some sad. Some indifferent

funny how one person can cause such a big fuss among students which reminds me of old school days when we always spread rumours around on which physics/chemistry/bio/math teacher we were going to have for the next academic year...if a lousy one we'd have to get ready for tuition class which means more work and less sleep for us and parents. That's how one teacher affects our lives back then.

little did i expect, the same thing happened in uni, only we dun need to worry about what tuition class to attend, how to get there, whether or not the time clashes with parents' work/other tuition classes etc...a different level of influence and change in daily routine without much emotional impact
But in dentistry, the personality of the tutor matters not just in terms of students' clinical performance but more significantly, stress level.

a nice & encouraging tutor can brighten up your day, making you look forward to the next session; a strict tutor although scary, pushes you towards excellence; a sadistic tutor can suck out your enthusiasm slowly, nurture your self-doubt then thrash your confidence; an unreliable tutor stresses you out in the sense that you dun get to learn as much as your peers who are with other tutors, also you feel uncovered if you mess things up since tutor is not gonna fix the tight spot for you...stressedddddddd!!!

speculating clinical tutors is like watching weather forecast
rain, shine, t-storm, snow, gloom, sleet...you predict the weather condition yet you cant change it...probably what you can do is adjust your plans according to the weather.

On a personal note, i was rather down when one of my favourite tutors, Dr. W confirmed that he wouldn't be looking after us next term. So... who is? Dr. L? Dr. J?

*pout*

I cant agree more with Zulfi that oral surgery isnt going to be same without Dr. W

"Yeah, it's going to be Borrrringgg and Stressssssfullll'' Dr. W joked with a big smug grin
