Formal Lab Report Horrors!

I really struggling with my formal lab report now. It seriously looks more like a crash course on the entire mechanical properties section of material science.

I'm still at the theory portion of the report after two days. I'm seriously think that I had actually type in more than is required.

But it looks like I'm not the only one that is struggling over the formal lab report. Maybe the school should actually give some time in lab report writing as I have entirely no idea as to what to submit, until I got some templates and references from those who had done it.

Lucky its only 1 AU.

Recess

Finally recess week is here.

Things that I had learnt over the past seven weeks of university.

1. You know why they are called professors because they some of them can't really teach. Every lecture/tutor is like some kind of lucky draw, if you got lousy a lecturer/tutor,all I can say that shit happens.

2. Let's say you got a lousy lecturer and think that 'oh well, at least I can try to study over the lecture notes'. That is possible IF the notes are even understandable. One of my friends even suspect that one of the lecturer receives a commission from the textbook publisher because it looks like the lecturer is being lousy on purpose so that the students will go get a textbook.

3. Queues does not exist at the 179 line during the morning peak hour. Instead of standing in line, just stand near the places where the buses stop. When the bus arrives, everyone will gather in front of the bus. That's when I and many others usually join the 'queue'.

4. Talking about buses, commuters seems to be afraid of moving into the back of the bus. Maybe the myth of ghosts at the back of the bus is true.

Really looking forward to the chalet on Tuesday. Time to let my hair down and relax before the dash to the year end examinations.

Countdown: Week 6

Gosh, its already Week 6. Which means that I have exactly 1 week before the CA starts.

Looking at the tutorials that are undone and things that I'm really unclear on, I pretty guess that tons of effort has to be done before I can actually have some kind of decent grades for my CA.

I would usually try to avoid commenting on relationships. The past week has both the good and bad happening to my friends. One got hitched (congrats, you know who you are) and another is in a dilemma over his current relationship with a friend of his (whatever is the outcome, I'm behind your decision).

I'm actually envy those that get to experience these kind of emotions as I haven't gone through a relationship since secondary school. Well, at least I got more time to study for my CA.
