We are well into the semester already, almost a quarter is gone. Time flies, that’s for sure. But it is not that bad, I quite like the new semester. I’ve got the subject Earth Sciences, which is up till now my favourite, not only because we talk learn about the Earth and the stars and moon and other galactic stuff, also because the teacher is great. He’s enthusiastic, it’s amazing. And of course I tend to like the Earth, and especially stars and planets. The first class I learned exactly what I always wanted to know, although I did not know what that precisely was before that lecture. Now I do know, the origin of stars and how they come to explode and form new stars and planets and other bodies in the universe.
There is one problem though, we have to do a presentation soon, I really hope it’s going to work out because it is about gravity and viscosity I think, so I hope it will be fun and interesting. You never know of course. Everyone has to do a presentation, about 20-30 minutes each, and you get the stuff that they say in the presentations back on the exam, which of course happens to be on my birthday, yay.. not. But up till now, not all the presentations were as good as I hoped them to be, some were a little bit way to fast and some were very monotone, giving you the impression that sleep is way and way better than stay awake.
I’ve also got something called labcourse, it’s a course in which you go the lab (once every two weeks which is good because now I’ve still got one Wednesday in two weeks of, instead of none), the lab is far away so that’s not that nice either and then you do experiments. Our last one totally went wrong, eventually we got out that Red Bull had like around 18 ppm in it, instead of 320, so that was not very good.. but still we managed to not break a machine, I’m happy about that. The only fun thing about labcourse is that you can walk around in a labcoat, I hate experiments, those awfull ‘I like to suffocate you so let’s just slide over your nose and block it’- glasses and chemicals in general, but the labcoats I love. They’ve got pockets everywhere and are white, although me and white usually are a bad combination because I tend to make everything white I get my hands on dirty, and they are long and sleevy and I don’t know, I just like m.
Math isn’t even a bad as I thought it would be, up till now, I get everything, which is kind of amazing for me. And for some reason I still spend way less time on homework as everybody else, and I don’t know how I do that. I’m not doing math all the time like my friend was last semester and I can do a lot of other things, maybe I’ve just chosen the right courses, again. Anyways, let’s see if this semester goes as well as the last one.
Love, Lucy
