First Day in Review

Wel, my first academic day back at university has passed and much has changed without really improving my situation much. I had a slow start to the day, because our information session for Computer Science was only at 11:00. So I took to have my laptop registered at the IT department and loitered for a bit. Shortly before 11:00, however, I learned that the first part of the first Graph Theory was at 09:00 this morning. Great, I missed my first class. The worst thing was that I still don't know if I want to do it or, at that stage, if I need special permission to take it. It turned out I don't need special permission and I attended the second part of the class at 14:00. It was a nice class, but when we got our first week's assignment, I realised that I was still in holiday mood and suddenly wished that honours involved much more osmosis. Anyway, I haven't taken that work out yet and I don't feel much motivation, because, like I said, I'm still only taking it tentatively. At the moment I'm considering taking it as a seventh (extra) module so I have something to fall back on if I fail something else or wish to lessen the work load for the second semester. But, if one of the CS modules I'm considering doesn't strike a cord with me, I might just drop that for Graph Theory. Decision pending.

The CS introduction bore very few revelations, but I think I've managed to decide on at least three modules to take this semester. I shall be trying them out this week at then re-evaluate my decisions. The newer proposals for year projects are generally more appealing and, if I don't snooze-and-loose, I might end up with something I could get excited about right off the bat.

In the week that I have been back here, I have heard quite a few American accents on campus – it's very odd.
