1st Week of sch...

Imagine being thrown into a place that occupies hectares of land, located on a hill and worst of all, feeling like you've just arrived from another planet..Well, I'm just going through this and being the first week of the second semester, its not easy trying to get the hang of things especially how Flinders education system works. But, I've gone through just that and made it through the first week..

[Mon]Had a Statics for Medical Science lecture (aka as maths stats) in the arvo (aussie slang for afternoon). As I had plenty of time on my hands, I printed my lecture notes in the morning and decided to explore the FLinders Medical Center(FMC) as most of our classes will be there. On our way to the FMC, Phoebe & I met a 3rd-yr student Nutriton & Dietetics student, on her way for class at the FMC. We sought help from her and she brought us around the FMC. As she had to attend a class, we thanked her and explored our way around the FMC. The maths stats lecture in the late arvo was easy to understand as I had done abit of SPSS in TP for my major project.Of course, finding the LT was not easy and had to be dependable on the map. Thankfully, the place was easy to find. By the time class ended, it was already dark. Thankfully, the bridge is well-litted but the pathway back to the uni hall was quite dark.I gotta rememeber to bring my torchlight every monday!!

[Tue]Today's timetable is pretty packed as I need to shuffle between places-->FMC, Sturt Building and back to the FMC. To make matters worst, we had to walk uphill to STurt building and rush back to the FMC within a space of 10mins for the introductory lecture for Biochemistry for Human Disease. Also,I got to know a few new frens from one of my topic, Health: A psychological perspective. They are Lucy, Kirsty and James, and they will be my gtroup mates for the rest of the semester. Also, I realised that Kristy's is enrolled in the same topics as me such as Human Physiology as well as Biochemistry of Human Disease. I also realised that she's planning to transfer to my course as she's currentlt pursuing a Bachelor in Health Sciences. Well, I hope to see you in our course Kristy!!

[Wed]Only had 1 lecture in the morning at 9am..ARGH!!But nonetheless, we spent our time by taking the free loop service to see its route as well as I completed my reading and reading response for Health, which is due next tuesday.

[Thur]Had a Human Physiology lecture at 12nn. I could not comprehend what the lecturer was saying and felt that 1/2 the time, he was giving alot of egs for the chapter on homeostatis. Thankfully,its only 1 lecture on this chpter!!!As we finished class early, Phoebe & I decided to go to Marion Shopping centre to do some of our grocery shopping.

[Fri]Had classes in the morning. I realised something, that none of the students in my Biological Chemistry checked their study plan and realise that there was no 9am lecture. As we felt that the lecturer will give out the new timetable, we decided to be there at 9am. Haha..Had a PBL topic, Biochemistry of Human Disease after that. It was quite ok but I realised that in order to be able to contribute better, I should have read my PBPN notes beforehand. But, on the whole, the tutorial was quite ok. Human Physiology lecture after that was quite difficult to understand. I couldn't comprehend head or tail abt the action potential,equilibrium potential etc. But I some sort understood it as I revised my work. Went out to the city today with a few missions on hand:
1) Help Auntie Dot find the pair of shoe with a size bigger for daughter-->Mission failed as the store have removed that design.
2) Buy the magnetic bracelets for Auntie Jane, Auntie Dot and for my mum-->Mission accommplished and within the price range that they quoted to us ($30). We bargained with the lady and brought the price down to $90 for all 3 pcs.
3)Buy groceries for our weekends' lunches and dinners-->mission accomplished.

Hmm, Phoebe's birthday is fast approaching and I have nothing up my sleeve. I hope that that something will please her as I can't get anything for her since most of the time we are together..Keke..Ok, a rather long entry..Gotta go down fr the bbq liao..Take care,peeps..
