First Day of Uni
At last, term has started and so begins my life as a Uni student (officially). I’m quite lucky in the sense that my mondays don’t start till 10am so I can wake up abit late or dawdle a lil bit =p
Anyway, today’s lectures were..abit boring. Well, i guess that’s how introductory lectures go. They bore you wif stuff like course outline and stuff like that. But of course there were important things like assessment dates etc (the 1st one’s 29th March, just one month away!) and v had to do d standard stuff like sign up for labs etc..
I realised that life as an anu student requires devoted worship of your laptop / computer. Cos everything is online! From course notes to announcements to whatever, virtually everything is on a page called WebCT.
I havent got any of my books yet bcuz : 1. books are reali expensive here. 2. The co-op bookshop’s swarming wif ppl, i cant get in even if I actuali wanted to buy any books! 3. Hancock (the science library) is pretty near, I can drop in anytime and plant myself in d Reserve Collection room =) Well, at least till my books finally arrive anyway. Cuz it closes at 5pm and that’s d time my classes r gona end when my labs start nex week…can oni go there on tuesdays, fridays n weekends when classes go into full swing.
I got abit dizzy looking at the chem textbook this afternoon in d library..i hope it’s d weather and not the long explanations about quantum theory that’s getting to me! Hurm… it looks set to be a tough semester but hey, there are no free lunches in life rite?
I saw dis nice quote in d National Museum of Australia the other day:
Hope
To hope is to dream. Of what might or will be.
Of the possible and the mere possible - hope against hope.
To hope is to strive for the best. To build on glimmers of new beginnings.
To hope is to never give up. To remain expectant,
against hopes dashed, disappointment, falsities.
To hope is to believe there is a way.
I just hope everything will turn out fine by the end of the day. In the meantime, gota check my student webmail and read my Biol1007 (Living Cells) notes for tomorrow..
Take care everyone!
