most think of it as a boring class, which is not necessary to attend. But i found it interesting. Not sure whether i' m psychologically ill or it is the lecturers that caught my interest. Maybe because by attending the classes, i got to know more about humans. I've always interested in human - the way they think and behave to start with.
