My aunt is not only my best friend, but also a classmate from my senior college. We were half a year apart and retired one after another within half a year, so we went to senior citizenship university at the same time. At the beginning, I learned chess, and she learned spoken English. Back to classroom study at that time, it was not only to spend your leisure time after retirement, but more importantly to have your own pursuit. She was a pragmatic person. At that time, it was a craze for traveling abroad. It was her dream to learn oral English to travel around the world. I am an interest student, and learning chess is my hobby. Later she studied English application and photography, and I studied literature appreciation and Chinese studies.
At that time, I might not be able to sign up for anything I wanted to learn. I was able to sign up for the chess class because Gu Xueguang, the chess class leader, played chess with me and thought my chess level was pretty good. After learning that I started to sign up, I helped me "grab" the quota as soon as possible. The Gu Tai is very persistent. The strategy she adopted was to stay in the Academic Affairs Office. Because there was a class reunion dropping out of school, there would naturally be a quota. Her hard work pays off and she got what she wanted.
is now online registration, which is much more convenient. It depends on who has the fastest hands and who has the better internet speed. Every time I sign up, I stay in front of the computer early, do all the preparations, and start "grab" as soon as the time comes. I remember that I could only "grab" my preferred course at that time, because when you enter the platform to grab it, there are basically no quotas. At that time, Gu Tai felt that the courses we learned were all spent on a lot of time and had to learn a "movement" course. She thought that practicing yoga was very suitable for us, so she made an appointment to "grab" yoga class.
school registration starts in May every year. We arrived at the computer as scheduled. As expected, we couldn't "grab" it. I was about to give up, but the aunt disagreed. She took the old method and went to the Academic Affairs Office to guard it. This guard lasted for one semester, and finally got two places. Finally, I can practice yoga with the teacher. After two years of study, each student had to give up because the school stipulated that each student could only enroll in two courses.
Literary Appreciation This course is the most difficult to "take". I have been staying for three years but haven't signed up. I really like it, so I took a day to stay in front of the computer, checking whether there are any quotas and whether there are students temporarily dropping out of school. Hard work pays off. I waited until afternoon, and a place jumped out. I hurriedly clicked the mouse and registered and paid the tuition fee in one go. I breathed a sigh of relief. Later I exchanged my experience with Gu Tai. Her learning spirit was even more serious than mine. She "snatched" together with Kunming University of Elderly and signed up for two subjects on each side. She was so busy with her every day that she was so busy with her feet.
During the learning process, we also had a small episode. That year, Gu Tai signed up for photography and English speaking classes at Kunming Senior Citizen University, but the study time of the two courses overlapped. But it is rare to report, she is reluctant to give up and cannot take into account both. When I heard this, I happened to like photography, so I said, "I'll help you!" Only then did I realize that the consequences were serious, and impersonation would still cause distance from my classmates: everyone came together because of the same hobbies, and communicating, appreciating, communicating, and trusting each other is the true love for classmates. I feel that I have deceived my classmates and I am psychologically out of touch with them. It is really a torment. I insisted on finishing the school year and never did such a stupid thing again.
After so many years of study, my main course is still chess, and my classmates jokingly call me a "doctoral student". Gu Tai’s main course is still English, and he has studied speaking, application and writing as a “graduate student”. Over the years, the senior citizen university has become a very important existence in our lives. Regular life and study have made us very fulfilled. Even during the epidemic, the school changed to online classes, we are still enthusiastic and listened to classes on time. The teachers of the senior college are professional, patient, serious and responsible, and their lectures are easy to understand, clear and vivid. We listen carefully, interact with the teachers naturally, and have fun in every class.
