A solid 20 minutes
My first day at TAFE began at 9:00 and ended at 5:30 – but only consisted of about 20 minutes of classes! The Physics & Maths lecturer was away.
In Materials we learned that atoms have a nucleus, and that matter has three states: solid, liquid and gas. Yep kids, this is Year 7 science! I expect we’ll be learning how mass relates to weight in Physics, and marvelling at Pythagoras’ theorem in Maths *yawn* I really hope it ramps up quickly because I want a challenge!
I have classes 9:00am – 5:30pm Monday, 8:30am – 6:30pm Wednesday and 8:30am – 5:30pm Friday. I’ll be working full days on Tuesday and Thursday.
I said hi to a few people but didn’t say much else. Still, that’s a huge difference to how I started all the other courses: a few weeks of monastic silence and ninja-like classroom escapes.
In my first RMIT course, Geomatics (a.k.a. fancy surveying or maths+maps), I missed the first week… and now that I’m back and ready to give it all I’ve got, classes don’t run. Is that irony? I dunno, but it’s annoying.
My new TV arrives tomorrow morning, after some delivery issues.
I don’t know what I’m doing with this blog. I already have a dead-tree journal… which tends to last longer than digital stuff… Hmm…….
