  1. Stupid Facebook (Georgie)

    Help! I am now seriously addicted to Facebook. I check it every time I’m on the computer and end up spending time which should be spent studying commenting and adding applications. Arggh!! I’m one of ‘those’ people now. Well, at least it’s less shameful than Myspace! Note to Sophie: I ended up doing both ‘Sex […]

  2. Busy busy busy bee… (Suzanne)

    I really don’t want to know how much of my college download limit I’ve used up today. You see, in the past 7 days I have had two essay deadlines. And a choir concert. And open day tour-guiding. And music ball organising. And a mini-chamber-music presentation. On top of the usual practise, reading, and meetings. […]

  3. "New" is good

    I just couldn’t believe in my ears when the Physics staff told my prac group that we will investigate the famous photoelectric effect in the week beginning 13 Aug. They said this is a trial which will lead up to the new teaching scheme which the School of Physics is considering. It’s simply AWESOME. Regardless […]

  4. Double-bookings

    You know, one of the things that is most annoying about university is that there is no longer a standardised timetable of events that everyone attends. This means that most weeks there are multiple places I need/want to be at the same time, and unfortunately, only one of me. For instance, next Wednesday is both […]

  5. Semester 2 is here!

    Semester 2 is heftier in terms of workloads and academic requirements, I reckon. But it’s to be expected. What I absolutely LOVE about this semester is the absence of Powerpoint presentations in Chemistry and Physics (hope Maths will soon follow suit). Instead it’s the old whiteboard style where the lecturers actually show you how things […]

  6. Back for another semester (Suzanne)

    … and falling behind already. I have 77 pages of reading for Dispute Resolution for tomorrow, gave up after 50. The dozen or so cases assigned for Torts scares me, but thankfully it’s [short] extracts and not the whole thing, so the total comes to about 20 pages, nice and light. No introductions in lectures […]

  7. After all the madness..

    By madness I mean, the unlimited exchange of e-mails (majority of them with the subject of SWAPPING). That have come to some kind of ending, I hope. I was quite stunned to see the number ‘157’ to denote the number of unread e-mails I got. And mind you, I didn’t go through all of them. […]

  8. Timetables and textbooks

    So I opened my email inbox, and there are 41 new messages, all from students wanting to swap tute times for law classes. I’m tempted to switch out of my 11-1 Mon/Wed Dispute Resolution class for a 4-6 or 9-11, because then I can take my Aural Studies tute at the right level, instead of […]

  9. Semester 1 in a nutshell

    All the good stuff: – Orientation was a wonderful event that pushed me to get to uni. Made friends even before getting to the first class with no butterflies in my stomach. – Realized the fact that uni is much more open and exposed compared to high school (and that feels great). – I loved […]

  10. Results

    Bit too late to fuel excitement now but YES, I PASSED with all H1s. I was thinking of failing at least one of them. Phew… guess I’ll still be allowed to do all advanced subjects in semester 2. YAYY.
