Entry #
Woah, 2 weeks already? Boy does time fly.
Finally, I’m getting into the swing of things, I understand how my assessments/online tests and labs work, and when to do them on a weekly basis, I finally feel like I’m not walking blind, and I no longer fear that I have forgotten anything. (I do owe a lot of this to the big ass uniplanner stuck to the back of my door.

)
Physics, boy is this one fun and realllllly enjoyable. The content is only a minor step up from HSC physics as of currently, but the new stuff is fascinating! My current overall mark is 5.91/6.01 (out of the possible 100 so far) so I’m going strong! The lecturer (with a great German accent ) has found out what teenagers find funny (such as “dark humour”) and integrates them into the lecture, such as a cat jumping off a building to demonstrate terminal velocity, or analysing an event which killed several and calling it “a fun day out”, but as a cohort, we are really starting to relax into uni life.
Meanwhile education studies are really major inconveniences in this semester, they don’t really challenge me in any real way……… until the assessments draw close (which is now) and as someone who never really enjoyed humanity subjects in school (and hence only did English) I do not enjoy the assignments, and I really fear a low mark. I shall spend most of this day working on my first written assignment due next week :/ .
What is great is the fact that we are all really starting to relax with each other, and this is what really makes the education studies blossom; the tutorials. The table on which I sit at has really formed this niche group and we are now able to communicate effectively to each other share the common interests and goals, make jokes and really have a blast during the hour, which is very contrasted to week 1, where we all just sat there awkwardly.
Similarly, my lab partner for physics has been phenomenal, we’ve been really relaxed together, even though what we are doing is being assessed, we are able to share ideas and work super effectively, as well as having a nice chat with it

. I kinda wish other subjects did this too, it introduces me to familiar faces, and makes me feel more significant in uni, and that I’m not just going through the system. However, I do understand that this is difficult for some subjects. For example, maths doesn’t really have any moments where I am able to interact with other students because the whole time is learning, and not really a course for class discussion.
What are you terrified of in the next 2 weeks I hear you ask? Well……. The 2 written assignments for EDST due in 5 days and 14 days and instead of working on it now, I’ve delayed them until I finish this entry, I’ll start working on them now… I still struggle to figure out how to break down the assignment and to actually do well in them… and so I guess I’ll leave you with the worst cliffhanger ever…. Will I ever figure these 2 assignments out and finish them well, or will I buckle under the pressure? FIND OUT NEXT TIME

Here are the obligatory pictures of the 2 animals I came across during my journey in Uni: (well there's only 1, but I am getting better camera, so I can actually take a photo more than 5m away, so here's one of my cats!)

My 2 fortnightly questions that popped into my head: (also I never actually got around to answering my questions because just there hasn't been enough time in the day, and I don't want to procrastinate more than AN

so during the break, I'll find them out, and post them here ^_^
Why do buses drip? (this may sound weird, but something I've noticed when a bus leaves, it almost always leaves a slight trail of... something...)
Why do wet dogs stink? (whereas cats don't)
