I am officially the happiest person in the world, special consideration means that:
CHEM191; 82% --> 85%
HUBS191; 89% --> 90%
CELS191; 91% --> 95%
Overall; 87.75% --> 89.75%
Bi-winning!

For any interested, semester two timetable has been released to PIMS.
Edit: For any taking MAOR102, can you PM me the times it's on? I want to see if I can drop PSYC for it (because PSYC just made my timetable look a little too evil).

I think Maori is on Tuesday and Thursday at 12-12:50pm OR at 4-4:50pm. but double check!

Great, both of those fit my timetable, thanks Doodle!

No worries !
I really like my timetable this semester! Every other week I always start after lunch and finish before dinner. My lectures are a lot less spread out throughout the day too!
I am EXCITED for next semester!! (yy) The health sci that I am...

[offtopic][rant]I'm damn sick of my mother talking about me not taking an 8th paper as if I'm significantly disadvantaged by it, in terms of getting into med...[/rant][/offtopic]

[offtopic] [MENTION=9988]cathay808[/MENTION], either you avoided or didn't notice my eye contact after HUBS (I'll stare with more intensity next time), lol. [/offtopic]

@cathay808 , either you avoided or didn't notice my eye contact after HUBS (I'll stare with more intensity next time), lol.

I didn't notice... I did however notice you coming into BIOC, if that was even you...[/offtopic]

[offtopic] Possibly, I came in from the front so I could get the handouts; big jacket (thought it was going to be cold as today) and shorter hair than before? [/offtopic]

Yes indeed... I remember thinking "is that jacket really necessary today... if it is, I'll be pissed off at the weather"

Turns out it wasn't, Ch.1 Breakfast lied to me + I've never been to an 8am lecture before and was mildly confused at the darkness; I changed almost immediately after HUBS lol.[/offtopic]

 

[Cathay]

I've never been to an 8am lecture before and was mildly confused at the darkness.

I've been to a semester of 8am lectures before, and was still mildly confused at the darkness... Having woken up extra-early to an alarm, it felt like getting up in the middle of the night and going to a lecture.

Hah, that actually makes me feel like less of a fool, can't believe I stream jumped to an 8am lecture though (doing an experiment for a couple of dollars later today when I would normally have BIOC), never again.

Why, Ben, why? D: Seriously though, my alarm went off at 730, and I had to triple-check that my clock was right, because it was pitch black outside.
Now I'm just bored, nothing really to study, and made sleepy by the HEAL lecturer's monotone.

^Pre-read perhaps? I'm thinking about doing it since the HUBS department seems to think it helps

 

[frootloop]

Meh, they told us that in semester one as well... I gave up on pre-reading after about two weeks

 

[Cathay]

I don't know why but I feel like when I'm trying to integrate the lecture for myself, the thinking that goes into it aids the learning tremendously, which means if I was already informed on the subject vaguely through pre-readings I'm less likely to be doing the integrating for myself, or bother with the details (when I've actually skipped the details during pre-reading as well), which overall leads to more effort being required to learn the same stuff...

Yeah, the bonus with HEAL is that it doesn't look as though it'll be as spoon-fed as some of the other subjects (eg: HUBS this morning. Yes, we are only first year. But we do actually know what an artery is for....)

 

[Ben]

Artery is that organ ihn da fingers that digest biscuiots yes?
[offtopic] iloljk [/offtopic]

I've started on pre-readings (although it's more like post-readings atm with HUBS first lecture readings) and since I did 0 pre-readings last semester I'm hoping I can keep it up this time.

@frootloop , I said why! For the $$$ experiment.

 

[sid_kudav]

I think im going to enjoy this semester's papers more than the last. Bioc and psyc seem interesting.

What about you guys.

 

[frootloop]

[OFFTOPIC]Yus! My inspiring speech at dinner *did* make you post [/OFFTOPIC]
Edit: And yeah, I'm actually *shock horror* looking forward to HEAL, and cardiovascular is something I've always been interested in, so the first bit of HUBS should be good too.
