School, or at least what I think it was.

I prolly had this post done days back, but never had the motivation to post. (Read: lazy) But since Giant did so, I guess I would follow suit. (Thanks Giant)

My time so far has been pretty good, though it sometimes feels claustrophobic in campus. My modules this semester seems pretty easy, Biostatistics(math), Non-organic Chemistry (standard chem), Biomolecules (Organic chem and genetics), Anatomy (I'll ace it) Biophysics (Physics in the context of the human body. eg.ear, eye. OHLAWD) Basically,what Garri told me, is that its triple science in sec 4. True. Another interesting module was Critical thinking, which is really like GP. Our lecturer was apparently theater trained (stereotypical). In our last lecture, we had to formulate arguments in pairs, in which one had to win and explain why. It was fun. Practicals are awesome too, because in this, you actually have to make sure you don't kill yourself.(theres a poster on AIDS and Hepatitis precautions OMGWTFBBQ and Biohazard stickers pasted on virtually everything.(Read:Zombie Infection))

My class is really a large mix of different characters, sec 5 grads, JC dropouts, SAP school grads, nsk single pointers..good people, though the last thing I would have anticipated, well actually anticipated but never really thought it would be true was the amount of nerdy people in my class, most of them girls so..ouch. though this is compensated by the number of idiots in the buddy class.. again,most of them girls.(double ouch).

Though poly life has been treating me well, great lecturers, great OG (lol those guys are awesome), nice class, the only thing is really getting used to the environment and find ways to be active because frankly...its hard. I finally can see why so many people just don't give a fuck. I mean, my school e-mail is flooded daily with notices about Humanitarian trips, Student exchanges, volunteering( for YOG and other such events), talks, fairs, union and as a Freshman, without the connections, I don't think I'll bother. Just today a classmate retaking a module (module mate?) was asking me if I had a band for a charity gig. Well, I don't have a band so the obvious answer was nah.

But I guess one avenue for cca points is already covered..a cca. Golf LOLOLOL unless I ever want multiple ccas, which I will probably regret doing next year.

Anyway its the first week and I have 2 tutorials pending(not compulsory but hey! I'm hardworking) a 150 word thingy on freedom:right or privilege? Which I asume is a diagnostic thingy which I'll probably enjoy doing but will find difficulty actually penning down and a project. (ooh nanobiotech)
