Today's the first day of school. Mr EU say I should be very enthusiastic about this, since it's (hopefully) going to be my last "first day of school", but somehow I can't find any shreds of enthusiasm anywhere.

I've bought a new coffee machine for linuxNUS, from the new MegaCourts in Tampines Avenue 9. Extremely cheap too, only $39.90. The staff said it's on sale because the whole place is new, if that statement makes any sense. Anyway, I unenthusiastically went to school early to test out our home made gourmet cappuccino. Rather nice actually.

This semester's lessons are strange. My first lesson is on computer networks. The lecturer is a Nokia researcher based in Finland. Pet topic: wireless technology applications. Hence, instead of the expected basics of computer networking, the module is going to be a primer on wireless technology application. Seems interesting though, especially since his final exam has a weightage of only 50%.

Statistical physics this semester is wildly different. The professor comes in, reads out the module information copied from the NUS bulletin, then reads out the table of contents from the textbook, and ended the lecture. Total time for lecture? 20 minutes. Well, he did say he had not prepared for the module yet, but 20mins?!? I really pity those who came to school just for this lecture... O.o
