Random rant

a rant about environmental biology…

this has been the first class where I’m actually being marked on participation. We’re marked out of 10 each tutorial class. Attending the class will only get us 2/10. So if we attend and do nothing, we still fail somehow… stupid. In order to get a 50% for the tutorial class, we have to make an original comment/question. Depending on how many of these comments we make, we can get anywhere from 5-10/10. With 20 or so people in the class, how is it possible that anyone can get 10/10?? dumb!!! ugh!!!

The readings are so long!! I just find this class very self-absorbed haha. It thinks it’s the only course in the whole campus. Class is actually 50 minutes, leaving 10 minutes for people to get from that class to the next and if you’re like me who has to get close to the other side of campus AND change for judo, we are most definitely going to be late. I find ending class that late actually disrespectful. People do leave at the 45 minute mark, but if i leave I know i’m gonna miss some information >.< people have other classes to go to! Seriously!!!

Just the amount of participation we have to do even out of class! in the discussion boards, we are marked on the comments we make and what new topics we post up there. AHHHHHHHHH!!!

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an interesting class and raises a lot of awareness on what’s happening around the world and to this world that we live in. The work is just ridiculous. Sucks! blah!

New Laptop!

Came back during the weekend and bought a new laptop!

HP Pavillion dv4 2154ca with 500 GB hard drive space and 4GB of RAM. All thanks to drakonen for going laptop shopping with me for the majority of saturday haha. $850 done rite there.

In other news, a month ago i also bought new in-ear headphones. sennheiser cx500’s… i think. don’t remember the exact model anymore. Originally $140, i bought it for half that price. SWEEET!

And of course I also bought an ipod touch which set me back $200ish. Daaaang I’m getting poor. major spending in 3rd year. No moreeee!!!

although I didn’t have to pay for my laptop… so meh… but still. Major expensive for 3rd year.

2010

NEW OPPORTUNITIES AWAITS
Happy 2010 to y'all!

Hugely excited to what's in store for us all, even tho I am not too keen on waking up tomorrow at 7am as oppose to 2pm the past 2 weeks, I am still all smiles (absolutely no idea why).

I think it's time for some sort of a reunion sooner or later, now that UU is working downtown on his coop term (yes I have to update you guys on his life.. wish he can just do it). We just need echoes to be back soon, then it will be fairly convenient to meet up for ANYTHING.

Remember that list we had in the summer? Oh man we totally FAILED, let's make it more epic the next time around by actually completing at least HALF of it, but this post isn't about reminiscing about the past year..

It's a new decade, time for new things. So guys... I think it's time to...

ready, set, go...


On a side note, music recommendation:
So last minute but john mayer album battle studies absolutely rocks
