First Day (aka, WTF).
Nov. 2nd, 2008 05:55 pmStarts the day at 9 AM with Calculus. Approximately three hours of being reintroduced to the basics of functions by a man with a Russian accent so thick you could probably use it as insulation material (can't find any faults aside from that, though). Following that, we were supposed to have this random lab.
So, here I go to find the lab building (with my nonexistent sense of direction, lols) and when I finally locate it, I find it... well, empty. XD Save for two or three other confused students who have no clue what is going on either. When we eventually asked the only person who was around at the time who wasn't a fellow student what a hell was going on, he informed us that our labs don't start until a month and a half from now! XP
Nice three hour-hole in the schedule there! So, off goes the group of us to find out if the physics practice session that was supposed to happen after that lab actually happens (I mean, what the hell is the point of a practice session when there weren't even lectures on the material?) - and yes, as it turns out, there was.
On the whole nice waste of three hours which i had to spend being stuck on campus and Tetris my way out of boredom.
And then the physics practice thing happened. It was ridiculous. The guy talked too fast making the assumption we have any clue just WHAT the fuck was he jabbering about (Well, it's only a 45 minute long practice session) - mostly about integrals and deriviates and... yeah.
At this point I am extremely pissed off at Isaac Newton for coming up with this Differential/Integral shit, and wondering vaguely just why it had to be an APPLE that fell on his head rather than... I dunno. A Grand Piano or something.
THAT would have saved me a lot of headache.
