Memories (2)-College Fun
There was a joke about the three subjects, economics, statistics, and accounting when I was in college. "Economics", "statistics", and "accounting" in Chinese are rhymes for "forgetting" in Chinese, so students joked that economics means "regularly forgetting", statistics means "entirely forgetting", and accounting means "rapidly forgetting". Especially when there were exams coming in the semester, I could always hear these words, maybe for fun or for complaint.
Although Taiwan is small, students from across Taiwan are a little different in thoughts and concepts. For example, one of my roommates in the dorm would put the textbook under her pillow in order to remember everything in that book . She thought she would have a good grade on tomorrow's test because the knowledge in the books would enter her brain directly when she slept.
Can you believe that? I was so surprised and curious when I heard this. Funny I should mention it. She is a hardworking student and has good grades all the time.
