*insert Darth Vader theme here*
Exam dates are out. Mine are in a month. AAAAAH!!!!
Tuesday 23 May
EG1527 Applied Mechanics and Structures
1500-1700
Friday 26 May
EG1567 Electronics and Electrical Systems
1500-1700
Erk. I'm not so worried about Mechanics. It's the electrical part that's getting me. I can barely understand my lecturer speaking (hespearrkslahrkethirrss). Lecturers should be made to go for "How Not To Mumble" classes. And I'm hating the electronic labs at the moment. GAH! Those stupid oscilloscopes are going to be the death of me. Grrr....
On the bright side, I baked more bread today! Hmmm... One walnut, sunflower seed & current bread and another plain wholewheat bread with a hint of cinnamon. Hmmmm.... I should bake more... Baking makes me happy.

Project Rush
Just reaching the 6 hour mark right now.
My group (minus 1 slacker) have been in the tutorial room in Fraser Noble since this morning finishing up our individual parts of the project, finalising and putting them together.
I don't think I've ever had a group meeting that lasted this long in my life.
But egads. It is one of the most productive sessions ever. And I do believe that this time around, the project will actually look better than our previous group project. I think that was for some form of projectile cannon. Oh no. That was last term. The last group project we did was reverse engineering... That was a near disaster. No one knew what the other was doing and at the last minute, many things were still left undone. We still managed to finish it somehow... God's grace is all I can think of right now. But this time, things have actually been going quite smoothly. If the work had not been split up properly in the beginning and if like last time, there had been no communication at all, we'd be here since yesterday. So this is good. Because we actually breaked for a while inbetween for lunch and various other distractions. So really I think we've only spent about 4+ hours on the project so far.
Woosh! Almost there people!!
がんばって！！
加油！

Let's Bake Again...!!
I must be on some kind of roll here man! Just take a look at the baby below!!
Lemon Meringue Pie!! OMG!! It came out BEAUTIFULLY!!! I was actually aiming to just make some kind of custard flan, but it seemed like such a waste to just throw the egg whites away. So the meringue top was just kind of an experiment and LOOK at that texture!!!
*Happy sighs of content*

UTRECHT!
I'm in UTRECHT!! Bwahaha...
And I'm paying 1.75 Euro for 30min of internet... #*%^*($@... I have only 7 min left so I'll make this quick and painless... Well.. Quick anyhow.
Went through Edinburgh and London to get here. London is as crowded as ever, and the air is filthy. I swear just after a day in London, your snot turns a fantastic grey colour.
Apparently KS was in Edinburgh just after I left! What a coincidence... She saw my signature in the Museum of Childhood guestbook..
Ok.. The thingy has just warned me that I have only 5 minutes left. So I shall end here and say more when I return to Aberdeen.
Tata for now then...

It's been 5 days of snow so far. It hasn't snowed since this morning so hopefully there won't be a sixth. But the amount of snow is amazing. This here was Seaton park a couple of days ago. It's been bloody freezing this last week. Today thankfully has been relatively warmer.
News is, there will definitely be a strike on Thursday. There will be a strike followed by an assesment boycott. But since only a small percentage of the lecturers here are actually members of the union that's striking, the only way we'll find out if we have classes is to show up as usual and see if our lecturers show up as well...

Looking for...
Hmm... If somebody could tell me how to find the song "Go GO Heaven" from that 80's anime City Hunter...
Friday, February 24, 2006
Oh.. And...
So far no more news about this apparent strike... But from what I hear, if they do implement a strike, it's going to be an assessment strike. Meaning that the lecturers will just refuse to mark coursework and papers but will continue teaching as normal. This means bad news for people who are supposed to graduate in the summer.
Hmm...
Hmm...
Siew Mai wa Tensai nan da!!!
First I want to complain about this lack of Asian language capabilities on the school computers... I tried to d/l microsoft's own IME for Chinese and Japanese into my student drive but it wouldn't allow me... (T_T)
Now, I want to gloat.
*evil gloat*
Hohoho!! (^o^)
When it comes to most mechanical calculations and algebra, I beat the guys in my study group... Hohohoho!! (^o^)v
During my Monday tutorial for Applied Mechanics and Structures, I was probably the only one or one of two or three people who actually managed to finish the worksheet before class. And I got all the answers correct. HOHOHOHOHO!!!!
Ok... I finished gloating...
Segali my study groupmates find this... Kaoz.. sure die...

Finally! Some excitement...

Siew Mai Balaku
I got balaku on my head... (T_T) Had a minor disagreement with the wall...
Try and picture this all in your heads ok? The bathroom in my flat is inbetween Joanne's and my room. Now the flat's shared telephone, is on the wall between my room and the bathroom. Ok so far? Now one particular day, 2 days ago, Joanne got a call on the flat phone and took the phone into her room for more privacy. So the phone cable was now stretched across the corridor into her room, meaning that it was also stretched across the entrance to the bathroom. Are you picturing all this yet? Now I wanted to take a shower, but obviously I can't just walk through the wire. So, as all my flatmates and I do very often (i.e. everytime J has a phonecall), I bent down to go under the wire and
WHACK!!!
It took me a while to realise that I'd miscalculated where the wall was... I didn't even know I'd hit the wall until at least 5 seconds later...
So yes... I now have a balaku on the left side of my forehead... (T_T)

Quizzie!
| Your Personality Is |
You are sensible, down to earth, and goal oriented. Bottom line, you are good at playing by the rules. You tend to be dominant - and you are a natural leader. You are interested in rules and order. Morals are important to you. A hard worker, you give your all at whatever you do. You're very serious, and people often tell you to lighten up. In love, you tend to take things carefully and slowly. At work, you are suited to almost any career - but you excel in leadership positions. With others, you tend to be polite and formal. As far as looks go, you are traditionally attractive. You take good care of yourself. On weekends, you tend to like to do organized activities. In fact, you often organize them! |
I agree with everything except the part about being attractive and taking care of myself...
Exchange?? To Where Sia...
Been looking up the exhange programmes that are available in the university. It's so limited, I can't believe it. It seems that they only have an exchange programme to certain universities and colleges in North America and Canada... I couldn't find any information about exchanges to Europe or other parts of Asia. I heard last year that they were about to start a programme to China and Hong Kong, but there was no information available about that in the website.
Sigh.
Sigh.
