I'm back from exams.

Yeah, my exams are finally over.

It was okay I guess, I just hope I didn't do too bad (cuz I felt like I've been playing more video games this semester, even though I told myself not to).

Anyways, my plans immediately after the paper was to find out which one of my friends have plans to do something and just tag along with them. Problem with that plan was because only my Food Science friends end today (while my other friends who took other science degrees like Biotech and Biomedical Science all ended a week ago), so there wasn't many people to look about for plans to do after our exams.

Most of them were too tired from studying our final paper and wanted to just have a snack, then head home and relax, so that was what I did - I had lunch with two of my friends.

We went to eat outside the university compound so we head to one of our friend's car. While heading to the carpark we stumble upon one of our lecturers. He is one of the lecturers that taught us the unit Food Bioprocessing and Technology, which so happens to be our last paper.

Funny story,

So we were chatting with him on the questions he prepared for the exams (each lecturer prepared a number of questions for the paper based on what they taught us), and he was telling us how easy his questions is (provided we read is lecture materials). After chatting for a while, there was a short silence, and he looked at me, and asked me:

'Are you one of my students?'

Somewhat stunned that he doesn't recognize me, I said 'Yeah..'

'Oh.... Did you skip my class?'

'No', I said 'I was present in every one of your lectures except the first one (which was a mistake in my part during enrolling in the units)'

'Oh.... You sit at the back of the class, didn't you?'

'No, I sit in the middle (there were only 30+ students in a class that can fill a hundred, it's so empty that we have no choice but to sit in front since he asked us to).'

I realized (and I think he did too) that he didn't recognize me despite me being present in his class. I don't blame him though, not all lecturers remember their students faces since they have so many students. While the Food Science lecturers are starting to remember our faces more (since we ARE Food Science students), this lecturer is a sessional lecturer, meaning he's not teaching full time. It also could be due to the fact that he only asked questions to the same few people in his class, and I'm not one of those people, so I don't stand out.

I feel like I'm like a ghost in his class - a being which is present all the time in a room or area, but not detected by the presence of certain humans. If I didn't bump into him just now, he wouldn't know I existed at all, which is somewhat awesome?!

Anyways, after that I just went for lunch and head home a few hours later. The first thing I did when I got home was download the new DLC case in Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies.

I'm not sure if I posted about it before, but I've beaten the game within 3 days of it's release in the 3ds eShop. It's a really fantastic game that I'll be reviewing later. Seeing the DLC case being out on the last day of my exams got me really excited so I playing the DLC was the first thing on my to-do list when I got back.

You know what, it didn't disappoint. It's pretty good for a bonus case (as in it was well made, up to standard, and better than some of the cases in the main story). Beaten the game last night and I probably won't touch for a while.

So what's next? A review of the game Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies!
