wow

Its unbelievable. Yesterday was the final history lecture of the semester, marking the end of the HY1101 module, and when the lecturere mentioned just that, I actually felt a twinge of regret! I actually almost wished I could have the lectures go on. The past two months or so, Prof Pharrell and Prof Lockhart have made every single history lecture seem like the telling of this huge, magnificent and fascinating story, so much so that every lecture makes you begging for more. The two make such an unlikely pair. Pharrell's a huge, jolly green( he was in the Canadian Army) giant who has a voice that makes his lectures sound like some swashbuckling adventure. And then there's Lockhart, a self confessed geek who wears his pants somewhere around his ears. He lives up to the look too, he can read and speak in 7 different languages and has a photographic memory. His lectures are always riproaringly funny as he peppers all of em with bits of Americanised Singlish and he's definitely the nicest educator I've ever met in NUS. Among all the doors lining the long corridors of the History department, his is the only one thats permanently open.

I'm really going to miss them...
