Easter

Whee it's Easter break already!

Time to enjoy some time off with family :D

Ache

Ouch.

Left arm feels like it got shot by a paintball marker. Legs feel leaden. Grrr.

Methinks I'm not fit enough.

Cluttered mind

Assignments.
Club flyers and posters.
Soccer meets.
Getting my life in order.
Social demands.

Wish I had more hands to settle things quicker.

A foggy day in...

Yes, morning fog is here, a stark reminder that summer has ended and winter is knocking on our doors. [Technically it's autumn, but winter isn't too far away]

Luckily it'll clear up way before tonight's food fest. Cue more food and more fun for the masses of Asians who stay within 10 minutes' walk away from uni.

Fatigue

I'm getting slightly worried about Fluid Mech now. I wonder how they'll test us in the exams about it.

It's been a busy couple of days so far. Barely a month into the new semester and things are heating up for IESS, with MUOSS's Night Market coming up this Thursday. Once again, we get ready for lots of cooking and selling food. To think that I have rapier/fighter training an hour before.. Thursday will be busy.

Dearth

The sparks of creativity are often quenched, until times of extreme stress, when they flare bright and trigger firestorms of emotion. Whether in the soul of the creative one, or in the minds and hearts of those admiring the works wrought, creativity is often underrated by those who do not understand its power and raw fury.

Do you remember?

"In Science, English and Moral Education, Alimuddin said rural students did better than their urban counterparts."

So.. I wonder. What happened to the earlier argument that rural students would miss out if Science was taught in English? Now they are doing better than the urban students. Interesting.

A Day of Ice and Fire

Well first there was the hail. Then there were the random fires breaking out [lightning strikes perhaps].

At least we made the most of the horrible weather, and we ran for the shelter of the ERC to get our stuff underway.

*Will edit post if there's anything more to report*

First week done

It's a mix of hectic and yawns. Process Analysis was THAT boring, so it left me wondering as to how they would be testing us in the finals.

Thoughts on sem 1 2010

After having sat through lectures for all 4 subjects this semester, I can safely draw early conclusions.

Engineering Maths:
Shouldn't be too bad. Lecturer sounds like she'll be a bit slow going through the course material though.

Fluid Mechanics:
Lecturer is one of those fun kinda people who can entertain during lectures. So far it's more physics than anything else, but my interest in physics should sustain me through fluid mech.

Process Analysis 1:
Same lecturer from ESD 1, his classes weren't too bad, but I'd have to say that this course might be more maths and calculations than anything else. Shouldn't be a killer though. Maybe not now.

Reactions and Synthesis:
Sounds tough from lecture 1 already. They're sort of expecting our holiday-addled brains to function on the second day back from hols. But once the warming up ends, I suppose this will be fun rather than tough.
