2nd week of uni gone by

Hey everyone,

Well 2nd week of uni gone by. I pretty much know my way around and knows where most of the coffee shop are located. I only need to go to SLC to get Tim Hortons Coffee as the coffee shop in Library and some places are espresso coffee (yuck!!)

Donuts?!? They all are "glazed" donuts. None like Aussie-like donuts, you know cinnamon and sugar donut while it's nice and hot...... mmm........

Only thing that is intersting at this uni is that they use watcard as their student id and like-a-bank card which deduct money from your account to buy food/drink, printing, stuff from UW shop etc. It's kinda good idea really because you don't have to worry about changes too much or goin to the atm to get the money out and etc. First week, omg, somehow i got so many 1 cents or i should say a penny, it droved me crazy.

Class? I find it old fashion. 2 of my lecturer use overheads. One use powerpoint and that is in the newer building. You cannot ask questions in the lecture. I only have one tutorial class which is for ENVS 178. I find that Griffith University is actually lucky to have tutorial for each subject and fortunately to have the technology to make learning more easier. We have this motto, "Don't be afraid to ask questions".

The other day, I was sitting next to a girl who was had a laptop out and ready. I was shocked. Why? Well, it kinda distracted me as she was talking to someone on MSN and checking her email etc etc while the lecturer was talking. They have the full wireless coverage of the whole university. :-/ Well I can understand why the Griffith Uni only have part coverage at the uni so that it does not distract students' learning while in lecture.

University of Waterloo was voted number 1 for

When I thought about this university, I thought wow, looks good and reasonable learning experience. Now, this kinda reflects on how lucky we Australian are. I don't mind studying here. It's just different. Plus it depends on who you study with, who is your lecturer and how it is taught. Art thou cannot judge.

Ok ok ok. I think I've done enough rambling.

Cheers
