So, 1st week is pretty much over and I'm settling into the doldrums of another year. Classes seem pretty boring... except for maybe Virology, the lecturer Paul Young (no... not the one from Desperate Housewives) is pretty entertaining.

Big thing this semester seems to be accents. For Immunology, I've got Stuart Kellie who's a Scot and for Genomics I've got Thomas Huber who is German. Pretty interesting trying to filter what they've been saying. I'm going to have to get used to it pretty quick though, otherwise I'm going to miss a lot of what they're talking about throughout the semester. It helps keep me alert though as I kinda like to see the way they pronounce everything. Nothing really good to say about my last subject, Molecular Microbiology. Pretty boring lecturer although the subject doesn't seem too bad. Apparently they're trying to kill us with lab work though as we've got labs throughout the semester for that course, from first week to the last.

On a side note, my uni computer labs got upgraded! I'm loving the new Macs even though I'm not a fan of Macs. Probably because of the new screen. The mouse and keyboard aren't anything special... but the screen is huge! Much much better than the old and stupid Macs they had which were so slow and terrible to use. I'm definitely going to be using the school computers a lot more...

And that's all for now.
Maybe with the new computers I'll be updating my blog more often?
Who knows?

Back In Exile

Well... vacation's over and I'm back in Australia. So much to do now that I'm back. Have to start organising everything and clearing up so that things are not all over the place. Not really looking forward to starting class tho. Guess I've grown complacent and too used to not studying.

Ah well.
Bed time.

10 days since my last post. Chinese New Year is pretty much over for me... not that there was much of a fuss this year round. Very low key in fact. Went out, chit-chatted, had cookies. That's the synopsis. Vacation's almost over and soon it'll be back to work and school. Wondering what the next semester will be like... tough? hectic? Oh well... time will tell.
Other than that... nothing much to say. I should keep a notebook to jot down stuff to say. I forget things all too easily.

Until next time then,

Sleeplessness

Night before exams. I wonder why I can never get to sleep on time the night before exams. Maybe it's the cups of tea I have while studying. Maybe. Been having quite a few sleep issues though... past few weeks. Sleeping at 3-4 am and waking up at 12. Don't know what's got into me. Probably that holiday mood or something.

Tomorrow's going to be a busy day. Exam, real estate issues, enrollment issues, packing etc. Still... can't wait for tomorrow to come. Now, if only I could just get some shut-eye.
