Chapter 389 Preparation for Admission
Just when Dr. Leo suspected that Lin Siqiao would ask him to take good care of her in the future.
Lin Siqiao nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, I still have to go to the Academic Affairs Office to handle the admission procedures. I will leave first."
Mr. Shi was eager for her to complete the formalities, so naturally he had no objection.
"Go ahead, have a good rest today, and remember to report to the classroom on time tomorrow morning. Oh, and don't forget to wear your school uniform, or you will lose credits."
The two college leaders had worked in vain the whole day. Seeing Mr. Shi grinning, they were so angry that they left without saying a word.
On the way back to St. John's College, Dr. Leo kept frowning. If Mr. Shi couldn't see this, then he had really lived in vain.
Everyone in Cambridge knows that Dr. Leo is a suspicious person.
Mr. Shi couldn't explain it directly to the little girl, so he could only do the opposite. He asked Dr. Leo to assign fewer experimental topics this semester.
Dr. Leo was puzzled and asked why?
Mr. Shi did not shy away from him and said openly, "Because I want her to focus on the subject of economics. Also, I see that she is quite interested in computers, so why not let her take computer as a minor so that she can use it in the future."
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cambridge was established in 1937 and is also the flagship major of their St. John's College.
Although the current prospects of this industry are not very good, Mr. Shi believes that in about ten years, this industry will definitely have a big breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Mr. Shi said slowly, "She is a girl and she can't use physics. What else can she learn that won't be better than this?"
Dr. Leo obviously disagrees with this point of view. How can physics be useless? In his opinion, none of these subjects can compare to physics!
The two argued about this all the way.
Lin Siqiao had no idea that Mr. Shi had turned into a thorn and deliberately stabbed Dr. Leo all the way for her sake. She had already completed the registration procedures with the help of Teacher Jenny.
What surprised Lin Siqiao was that Cambridge University at that time did not have any textbooks. Could it be that he had to listen to incomprehensible books during class?
Teacher Jenny smiled and explained, "There is no textbook, but the professors will give you a handout of about two to three pages before the class."
"The handout will list the outline of the content to be taught in the next few classes, including the name, version, and start and end pages of the required materials."
"What you need to do is to prepare these things as quickly as possible. The information can usually be found in the college library."
Lin Siqiao understood as soon as he heard it. It’s not that Cambridge doesn’t have textbooks, but that students need to prepare everything by themselves.
Jenny nodded and reminded Lin Siqiao again.
Although the semester at Cambridge University is short, the class capacity is large. In addition, the school also encourages students to participate in social and sports activities, which will lead to students' schedules being very full.
For someone like Lin Siqiao who has to take several minor courses, Jenny estimates that she may not be able to cope with it.
"By the way, let me remind you that teachers of all subjects teach at a relatively fast pace. The first thing you need to learn when you come to Cambridge is to take shorthand notes, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the progress."
Lin Siqiao had already prepared himself mentally for this. It was difficult to be a student, and it was even more difficult to be a student in a prestigious school.
Teacher Jenny knew what was going on and didn't say much. Before going to the dormitory, she took Lin Siqiao to the logistics department. The college had prepared a big gift package for each exchange student.
These included two sets of school uniforms, which were similar in style to those used in later generations, both of which were shirts, pullovers, sweaters and plaid skirts. In addition, each person also had two pairs of small leather shoes and a long tweed coat.
Basically every college will give out these things. What is generous about St. John's College is that they also prepare a cash subsidy of 500 pounds for each exchange student, plus a complete set of daily necessities.
There were so many things that neither Lin Siqiao nor Teacher Jenny could carry them all.
Fortunately, with the help of enthusiastic classmates, Lin Siqiao finally returned to his dormitory smoothly.
The single rooms in the school are not big, with an area of about 20 square meters.
The bed has two layers, the lower layer is a matching desk, and the upper layer is for sleeping.
The bathroom is on the left when you enter the door, and is equipped with a toilet and a simple shower.
There are dedicated washrooms, laundry rooms, and pay phones in the dormitory building, so daily life does not present any major problems.
Teacher Jenny briefly explained the school's precautions and then said.
"Then you can clean up first and walk around the area later. The scenery of the school is still very beautiful in this season."
"If there's anything you don't understand, please feel free to contact us."
Lin Siqiao thanked her and stood up to walk Teacher Jenny to the door.
After returning to the unfamiliar dormitory, Lin Siqiao was stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, it didn't last long, and she soon returned to being the lively and beautiful girl she once was.
After simply packing his luggage, Lin Siqiao walked around the school with a map and a camera.
At this moment, all the buildings at Cambridge University are in the style of medieval castles. Maybe because he has visited the country frequently in later generations, Lin Siqiao has become accustomed to seeing these things.
She was more interested in some specialty shops near the school.
These shops have different styles and their decorations are very exotic. The most interesting thing is that none of the shops have signs hanging.
If you don't open the door and take a look, you really don't know what is being sold inside.
Lin Siqiao thought that since he was already here, he might as well go in and take a look around.
Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, she had spent nearly two hundred pounds without realizing it.
There's nothing we can do about it. Prices in our country are just outrageous right now. 3 pounds here, 5 pounds there, it adds up to a lot.
Lin Siqiao instinctively knew that if she continued like this, she might lose her wallet, so she braked decisively.
Before returning to the dormitory, Lin Siqiao went to a barber shop to cut his hair shorter.
She was fed up with braiding her hair every morning, and from today on she was going to say goodbye to pigtails.
In the evening, Lin Siqiao went to the cafeteria. As Mr. Shi had said before, the prices in the college cafeteria were very reasonable.
A meal that costs more than ten pounds outside is only two pounds here.
The taste is not bad, but of course it is far inferior to Chinese cuisine.
If possible, Lin Siqiao still prefers light porridge with side dishes.
Maybe it was because he had changed to a new environment, Lin Siqiao did not sleep very well that night, and only fell asleep reluctantly in the second half of the night.
It was just past seven when she woke up. After washing up, Lin Siqiao changed into her school uniform and tied her hair into a bun. God knows how long it has been since she tied her hair like this.
There was only a lawn between the dormitory and the teaching building. When Lin Siqiao arrived, the classroom door was half open.
The moment he pushed open the door, Lin Siqiao was in a daze, and his first reaction was to think that he might have walked into the wrong place.
Then I thought about it again, it doesn't make sense. This is the country, why are most of the people sitting here of Asian appearance?
