That went well.

I'm glad that the lecturer we have for linguistics is different to the one we had last time; the previous one had some weird kind of a speech impediment that she seemed to refuse to acknowledge, where as our current one just has a strong accent from his home country,  which would be Africa, I think.

And in half an hour, my first Introduction to English lecture begins ~

Structure of Language ( Linguistics )

I'm sitting in CLB on the lower ground level waiting to go into my first linguistics lecture of the year. 

Some of you may remember that I tried thus in 2010, but because of ending up four weeks behind in all of my subjects, dropped this one, so here I am attempting it again in 2012.

Tomorrow is the last day before the weekend before 0 week (I guess that makes this week -1 week) :P

I'm looking forward to 0 week, actually, as there's always very high spirits that week =]

Anyway, right now the computers on Level 2 of the library (strangely, the ground floor), are used infrequently enough that it's relatively easy to find a spare one, however, when 0 week starts, all hell breaks loose, and there'll be a long queue of people waiting to book a computer, which they will then wait for until such time as an automatically designated becomes available.  (You can only use the computers for an hour, max, so at the end of your session, whether you used the whole hour or not, the computer is designated to the next booking in line.

The only real solution is to have your own laptop/netbook/tablet ... but then it's a matter of finding a place to sit.
