1st day of Class

Today's the first day of class. And the classes that I registered for this semester are Limnology and Algae.

The class in Limnology was huge. The Prof said that there are about 165 students enrolled for the class. And I see that most of them are like sophomores. Wearing like, sporting gears as if they wanted to go to the track straight after class. Hmm can't blame them, when you got winter thats so bad that make you covered in layers of clothing with only your eyes to spare, who wouldn't want to expose themselves if they had the chance. Its summer time! Bask in the sun!
Anyways, the class was huge and it had 3 TAs.

Next was the Algae class. The Prof couldn't make it cause she was suppose to undergo a knee surgery tomorrow. So the class was presented a multimedia presentation of her lecture.It was crisp clear , and as if she was there. And for next week , we had to identify an 'unknown' algae species and also make a short oral presentation about the various different topics assigned for us.

Directly after class was the lab for Algae. And the TA looked like a girl next door, small framed, , with glasses, cute and innocently geek-like, until she spoke. OMG, could she spoke. I think that she spoke non-stop from the class stated at 1.20 until 3.00pm. OMG How could anyone speak that much. Its like, she was on a machine or something. And it turned out that she was in the debate team when she did her undergrad. And she majored in Biology and also French language. She explained everything, and has she good vocabs to spare. And she went through everything. Such as reminding us to 'leave our attitudes at the door of the class' and 'i expect you to behave like adults'. And also she went through every little detail on the microscope. Amazing.

I still had to do some background reading before Thursday. Chapters 1 & 2. Besides the Limnology background reading.

May Allah bless you guys during Ramadhan.
