30 Day Challenge: Day 22

Day 22 - Tell us about your least favorite professor.


(this 30 day challenge thing is a total failure, but I'll still complete the tasks anyway)


Least favourite professor . . . probably one of my chemistry instructors? Actually it's a tie between one of my chemistry instructors and a math instructor. The chemistry instructor was dry in terms of teaching material and the math instructor always carried a sarcastic tone in his voice whenever he spoke.

30 Day Challenge: Day 21 (and something on the older student)

Day 21 - Tell us about your favorite professor.


My all time favourite professor is my Latin teacher from when I took Latin. It was only the beginner courses I took but those were some fun times. The reason why I like him so much is for his humour. A lot of it has to do with either pop culture or old tv shows. Things that I remember from his lessons:


The imperfect tense of verbs: Remember B.A. is  imperfect for his fear of flying. B.A. is a character from The A-Team (played by Mr. T.) and the character had a fear of flying (maybe heights too). If I wanted to say "I was praising" in Latin, that would be laudabam. Breaking the word down: lauda-ba-m where ba is an infix putting the verb in the imperfect.


the enclitic -que: fish chipsque (this coming from a vegan, and he's quite vocal about veganism).


He sometimes would tell stories too like the one about the Audi company name I mentioned here and maybe some anecdotal stuff too.


He also had an interesting accent. His family name is of Serbian origin (his first name, Milo, is short for Milorad to boot) but he identifies as German and even speaks it too. He did some schooling in England before coming to Canada. Okay he does have a German accent but he's not all Hans Gruber with it or Schwarzenegger with it.


Anyways something occurred to me today. Not sure sure if it's the weather or how I see people but something to watch out about the student older than average. Not all undergrads are well, young looking in appearance. I apparently mistook some who could easily be a faculty member or a grad student and not know that the person was a full time undergrad. fml? or it could've been anyone's mistake.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 20

Day 20 - What has been the toughest class you’ve taken so far? Are there any classes that you are not looking forward to?


Toughest class: it's between physical chemistry and calculus, yet one requires the other anyway.
Classes I don't look forward to: anything with multiple papers to write

30 day blog challenge: Day 19

Day 19 - What do you do during holiday breaks? I don't go home during mid term break but I do go home during the winter and summer (mostly because I have to, living in a student residence). pretty much what I like to do is veg around and just surf the internet or play whatever games are on my computer (not many). Possibly the Facebook games.

30 Day blog challege: Day 18

Day 18 - Show us a picture of your favorite place to hang out around campus.

are 30 day challenges supposed to be consecutive? also to anyone who stumbles upon this, school life is now taking a lot out of me

anywho . . .

Yes, it may seem kinda geeky to hang out in the library study area. The lounge area of the library has much more comfy seats (and leather couches which people like to sleep on). The only downside is the wireless internet is extremely slow.
