Pre-Monday blues..

Ook..i've left Week 2 and am staring Week 3 in the face. Overall, it's not been TOO hard..heck, ok, i lie. it's been way better than 1st year...and 1st year sucked..in terms of subjects, except geology..which ROCKED by the way (..haha..hahaha..notice the pun..?..no..??..morons..), in terms of contact hours per week...and also in terms of I'm-a-bloody-2nd-year-student-haha-look-at-those-freshies-getting-lost-around-the-Main-Quad...

The units i'm doing this year is more my kind of thing...let's review it together-gether, can?

1. Global Oceans-Introductory Oceanography.
- we study why seawater is salty, why the sea is blue, what drives ocean currents etc...which means trips to the seaside...which mean happiness..*glee*..

2. Invertebrate Zoology.
- basically, it's looking at alot of sea sponges (scientific classification: cnidaria) and worms (scientific classification: nematodes, platyhelminthes etc). did you know that 90% of animals are invertebrates (i.e. no backbone) and of that, 60% are worms? and no, worms aren't insects.

3. Volcanic Processes and Hazards.
- fairly explains itself...although i hear there's a field trip to this place called Island of Doom...i didn't make that up.

4. Jervis Bay Field School.
- ok so officially this is supposed to be a unit of subject as well...but the thing is, we only have a 3-hour lab a week for this course with NO lectures and NO tutorials...and even then, the labs are only held for 6 weeks out of my 13 weeks of semester...now, isn't that cool or isn't that AWESOME?

Ok...so let's make a count...assuming that i have all my classes that week, i'd be looking at a 17-hour week...*openeyesbigbig*...and to think i had 27 hours last year per week per semester...
who says 2nd year is not a God-sent?? huh? huh??

suddenly i feel like an arts/commerce/business student...now i understand the attraction it has on future students...heck, if it means 12-17 hours a week, i'll damn well wear a suit, worship a calculator, sit at a 1x1.5 desk and work from 9-5..

furthermore, i start at 9 or 10 everyday, depending on what day it is...hehe..no more damned 8 o'clock starts DAMN IT!! no more waking up at 5.30 in the morning wondering what the hell just happened...no more, i tell you..no more, you damned universities, you hear me??!!

*breathes*

ok...that's enough excitement for tonight.

so far, the tally stands at:

Assignment - 1 Melanie - 0

let's all face it people, we're never ever EVER gonna score 1 up against Assignment..our tally will always be a big fat 0...it just depends on how many points Assignment scores.. if it remains within a single-digit number...consider yourself blessed.


p.s. i threw in those scientific classifications just so i could feel intellectual...heh...did i make you go "WOW"..??

p.p.s. please say you did..
