When I saw my lecture notes for the very first time today, I know I'm going to drop the module after the lecture. Covalent bonding and hydrogen bonding?! What's chemistry doing in a geog module?
I was so concentrated on that part that I went into the wrong lecture theatre.
Because most of my modules are in LT12, I assumed this will be the same too. Everyone was just standing outside, chatting. I walked in, switched on all the lights and started on my breakfast. When those people walked in, I realized I've not seen any one of them before. Took out my schedule and realized I was in the wrong class. Geez.
I'm not going to drop this module anyway.
Because the lecturer's so dumb she's funny. In a way. She started the lecture by talking rubbish, like how she hasn't taught for years and she don't understand why the school wants her to start teaching again. But she'll figure out how to when it comes. She said it's normal for lecturers to talk rubbish for the first 15 minutes of the first lecture because it's introduction. After 20 minutes, she was done with introduction and she wanted to give a break because lecturing is tough. That's what she said.
And because she describes concepts in the most ridiculous way ever, I can remember them. It helps a lot in making the module easier.
She was explaining about the difference in the layers of water in the pond during summer. The bottom layer has more nutrients and less oxygen. She explained by saying because fishes shit. The nutrients are actually shit. Oxygen are used to degrade these shit, thus less oxygen.
Then, she went on to say even though the earth has an abundance of water, most are saltwater. Freshwater only makes up 2.5% (I did pay attention during lecture!). Out of this 2.5%, only 0.03% is available for our consumption because the rest come in the form of ice and so on. And she mumbled to herself "Thank goodness there's global warming. Water from glaciers are now drinkable. But if this causes flood, we're so screwed."
Which lecturer says that in front of the entire lecture group?!
But this is the only lecture this week that I managed to stay awake.
