but... that is the way it is done. and not just here... apparently it is normal for science. happens at melbourne and sydney etc, too.
partly it is about... many (many many many many) more people wanting to do science. i forget... philosophy attracts a very unusual type of person, indeed. most people are a bit more... uh... balanced. or something. thinking about what kind of job they might get etc. i guess science churns out lab technicians etc. that there is a huge industry out there. pharma. energy. whatever...
and universities are... have to... make money off the undergrads to give to the grads... that is just... part of it. and labs are expensive... you can't give your undergrads sugar solutions to play with forever... and there really isn't much of a point to discussion or question time, anyway. because really... you just need to sit yourself down and freaking go over and over and over it until it starts to make sense and starts to sink on in.
i seem to have lost my little friend. i wonder what became of her. i hope she is okay. maybe her friends gave her a hard time for hanging out with me so now i'll only see her in labs. i honestly hope that is it. that she isn't sick or not coming to class, i mean. though i'll admit... i do prefer to sit by myself. ideal: i have a bunch of friends and we all sit by ourself together. if that makes sense.
why do people clump instead of diffusing? i simply don't understand.
i'd say around 85-90% of people around here are... decent people. and probably 10% of the others are decent people, but insufferable nevertheless.
last tutorial went better... heaps... i was shown some stuff i didn't know / might not have discovered / found out in my own study... i think i helped others a bit... i found it stressful because i'm not used to working in a group environment like that. people chatting a little... mostly on task... a little off task - but interesting snippits... and it helps people kinda stay together in their progression through the worksheet.... nice bunch of people, actually. the guy... i think i thought he was insufferable before... he is very insecure... but smart. and pleasant, really. i think we are good study group, actually... about 8 of us... i need to tell them... out of a class of around 250... there are two study groups like us... and there could be a similar class of tuakana kids... we don't need to compete against each other... there are enough A's for all of us. lol.
jelly is starting to creep me out.
substitutions?
no to tapioca.
chocolate pudding?
