Its an ICERINK out there

so im back from my SUPER long day at school.... about 9 30 am - almost 10 30pm. geeeezzzzzzz couldnt even work on my assignment in class due to my laptop not working and HORRIBLE battery life!!

note to self: next time i get a laptop, battery life and portability are important factors!

so last week and this week up to this morning was spent mostly on work term report.... damn those things.... every little thing takes so long.... i should have done more of it at work when i was bored...

anyway, its been freezing raining here and i shudder to think of how tomorrow morning will be like. debating whether to wear con's snow boots or my sneakers. my sneakers have no grip, but con's boots are a little heeled. it took me almost 10 min to get to cph today! i live across the street and a bit only!

this week is mad catching up. lots and lots of assignments to do and reading to catch up on. profs are pretty bad this term. lets go thru them:

Transportation: this one is not to bad. his voice kinda sounds like kermit with a chinese accent, but other than that, he's pretty clear, decent notes. my one complaint is that the dinky (300pg) textbook costs $120+! o well, we just photocopied it! hehehe.... im a rebel! :P

Structures: this one is pretty bad. apparently my prof had taught one of my previous prof who has already retired!! anyway, this guy seems to have a tendancy of making things harder than they are. i mean, ive done virtual work and other stuff he's talked about, but it just seems so much harder!!! too many symbols!!!! and i heard his exams and assignments are pretty brutal... :( o well, what can i do..... must read text and review notes this weekend!!

Water Quality: this prof is pretty good so far. kinda goes off on tangents, but his notes are great. we'll see after assignment one and the labs next week....

Geotechnical Engineering: what can i say, MK teaches this class... must read notes... his assignments already had so many changes to it... o yea, his lectures are pretty sleep worthy. he doesnt seem to know a lot, but what he knows for sure, he lkes to repeat it throughout the entire lecture. for instance, lecture 1 i learned, "rocks are hard". 2nd lecture, "sands are not as hard as rocks". 3rd lecture "water makes rocks wet". i was in a daze and copied that down... :S

Calculus: 5th calc course and LAST thank goodness! the prof is all over the place, our assignemnt had NOTHING to do with what we did in class. yet another self teach course... his voice is also perfect for puttting people to sleep. his notes dont make much sense, have titles really, or explainations... it jsut seems to have some letters ...

STV: yes, thats STV and NOT STD. this prof is a nut. he doenst seem to have any worth listening to, and his voice just DRONES AND DRONES.... i think i would pay more attention if i recorded him for the 2 hours and then played it at home fast forwarded. i just want it to be a high mark class, i'll need it this term for sure....

this seems to be a long term where my text books are once again my good freinds. good bye to carefree second year.... i suppose the only good news so far is that i am DONE my WTR and i have an INTERVIEW! yup, its with a water company, so we'll see!
