Ack ack ack, while I enjoy it, blogging is getting exceedingly difficult to do with my new 'busy' life, I don't really have any time to blog. I might start bringing my laptop to uni in which case I will get a chance to blog on the bus, but for now I only blog whilst watching TV, like actually on TV, which I only really do once a week, which I'm doing now. What this means, is that until I change I'm going to be doing a lot of really dumping post.
anyway I thought I'd actually fo what most people do when they blog, and actually talk about my life aka my first week of uni. Uni is part fun, part boring, and actually rather like high school. We go through material faste,r but thats probably because lectures are like, only lectures, there no class time dedicated to working on stuff, or or that random time-killing thing that we managed to do in high school, so I guess it is slightly harder, but its also far more interesting. Class sizes are obviously much much bigger, and has heaps more guys, I also kinda miss the really collaborative environment of NSG, but thats probably just because of well smaller classes, and the fact that we all new each other for 6 years.
The campus is also much bigger, and obviously the compute is longer but at the moment kind of bearable. I think I've finally managed to find my way around the campus completely, after finding having my compulsory getting completely lost experience. Actually it wasn't completely my fault, I had a lecture in the chemical sciences building, and I had a 2 hour gap between lectures so I decided to get to the lecture theatre a bit early, luckily I did because the classroom was M18, which is what it said on my timetable but the building code was something like F10 so I was wondering around looking for M18, until I realised that I was on the wrong side of campus, so I rushed in the rain, to tje correct building, and even managed to find the correct room. I got inside, and was pleasantly surprised that the class wasn't packed like the rest of my classes, until I started to get freaked out that I was in the wrong class a couple of minutes later and asked the person next to me, who was reading a law book. Turned out he was also looking for my class and was doing engineering-law. So all was good right, except the lecturer still hadn't turned up yet, no problem, he's just running late right, I started talking to the same person next to me, until 25minutes in, we decided that it really was weird that the lecturer hadn't turned up yet, thus we looked up to make sure the class hadn't been cancelled, turned out the class wasn't cancelled, but had been moved, to the lecture theatre right on the other end of campus. No problem right, the first class of every other class we didn't do anything important, just went through administrative details so nothing important, not quite 5 very puffed minutes later we found ourself in the back of the right lecture theatre, sitting down and having out feet fall asleep right at the back of he only class that did stuff on the first lecture, with a guy with a very scary Russian accent. And no matter how nice the guy actually is I don't think I can ever actually get past my first impression of him being a really strict Russian slave driver teacher/KGB agent. However that being said, it is actually kind of fun, although I'm enjoying some of my other subjects a bit more, we got to build a catapult in Engg1000! A catapult! admittedly it was supposed to work in a war zone, and I definitely wouldn't be using it, but then again, who arms their troops with paddle pop sticks and ballons going into a warzone?
Anyway uni is fun, although tiring, and I have no idea how I'm going to cope this weeks with labs and tutes cutting into my lovely long breaks, and making me stay at uni later, still should be fun
