And He Smote upon the Door Again a Second Time

Quote of the moment:



The new semester started well. I was on time for my first lecture. Score! Engineering Analysis 2 was following straight on and had no introduction. It was as dull as ever and delivered unnecessarily fast, so that we finished 10 minutes early but were scrambling to keep up with filling in the blanks on the lecture notes. The Computing module involves no learning of any language this year, we just play with "Maple" and something else, which are apparently as bewilderingly multifunctioned as AutoCad, which we were using last term.

The introduction to our labs sessions this term was a bit doom and gloom filled: we have to do "short reports" in a lab book as we do the experiment for 7 out of the 10 sessions, but for sessions 5, 7 and 9 we have to do "long reports" to be handed in the next week. They're apparently supposed to be 10 to 15 pages long.

(lapses into a Big James impression)

"DUDE! Where's your drink!"*

*Dude, I didnt do that much for my A-level coursework. Chemistry bombed anyway, but I think physics merited a C for less than that, and we have to do 3. The really good news is that I'm in group 7, and thus get to do my first one this week, and I have one left til after Easter to get in the way in the last week of lectures. Hurrah!
