Fastest Finger First

It is that time of the semester again, where all students, at their designated times, will play this game we all hate to play, called Fastest Finger First. It is just another name for our subject / module registration process where everybody has an equal chance to get the limited time slots for each module / subject.

For every subject, there is only one slot of the lectures but a few options for the tutorials. That is what we are trying to arrange into an oder that we are most comfortable with. Some people like to have a free day within the study week, so the lessons are pretty packed. Others want a more spreaded-out arrangement. Early birds want to start early & end early while a lot of students staying in hostel might want to start the day late & do not mind ending late. Some do not want many breaks in between lessons, the rest do not mind. So everybody's timetable is a bit different from the rest.

The modules you take in each semester also determine the outcome of this game. Some modules like Prescribed Electives will clash with Core Modules & you are forced to drop some in oder to register for the rest.

Anyway, I do not want to bore you with the specifics of this game. All you need to know is it might cause serious heart problems & breathing difficulties, hence it only takes place once a semester. Here is the tentative timetable I am aiming for. Awaiting approval to take the next higher level module. Sigh.

All there is to do now is to wait for the add / drop period.

Ja neh!!!
