...or not.
i don't know anything about the particulars of the case (what if any accommodations he received, what the actual problem was). So probably unwise... and i don't want to risk anything... potentially divisive.
whatever... there is time... and i have people to process things with... figure things out... probably a range of scenarios depending on how the interview seems to be going.
a bunch of stuff is up... which is making me very happy indeed.
i have some physics to be getting on with... pre-reading. equations to practice, even. first equation is pythagoras' theorum. i have no idea why... so i hunted it out (not till first year high school) from that website and... i can do them :)
and i've been reading about icky gross things... which are starting to seem a little less icky gross and more Killer *ss Mean and Bad... Cnidaria... It has a mouth / anus ahahahaha. And some of them have tentical things to grab foody bits and shove them in there ahaha.
And law... Which reads... Mostly like the history of New Zealand. Treaty of Waitangi (which we consider the founding document of this country though apparently international law considers a treaty to be the wrong kind of thing to serve as a founding document...) But anyway... The introduction of British Law... And most of the course seems fairly history focused... Which I guess it has to be. Not entirely sure what else I was expecting...
I'm not thrilled about NZ history, honestly. But I suppose I should give it a chance since last time I did it was in High School. Hopefully the lecturers will be interesting and help things come alive... Anyway: There will be reading and writing.
Looking forward to things... I am.
Yeah.
:-)
A... Rather weird combination of subjects, methinks... Or not. This uni... Is actually a pretty good one. Lots of kids DO work hard... Things are actually quite competitive... Broadly rounded... Lots will be doing arts law... Perhaps fewer but probably still a few doing science law... I still feel really privileged I get to... Learn about all different kinds of things... And I'm really happy that things are up... Mostly because... The Chemistry people seemed so... Obstructive. Obstructive about that. I guess I thought that was indicative of other fields, too... And the physics people have office hours... And say to stop by any time... So I'll feel better about seeing them for some 1:1 help if I'm struggling instead of feeling like I have to mill about in the 40+ people packed group hall with maths tutors with the blue sashes and stats tutors with the yellow sashes to help me do my problem sets (or give me the answers if I make big enough eyes at them)... Something... Lab-ish about it all... Sigh.
Anyway... Seems that I don't have to go there.
And I hope... Labs will come alive for me, too (so to speak). I really really really really hope so... Since I guess... I was thinking surgery or pathology for medicine... And of course I understand that that is likely to change... But still... It feels important to me that do everything in my power to have labs go well this semester. Dissections... With scissors. I've never done anything like it. So... We'll see...
