First day back…
Yay! A new start…
Not having maths first thing on a Monday morning at 8 is already an improvement. Maths at 11 isn’t too bad. The lecturer has an unusual but not incomprehensible accent, so it was pretty funny, especially when he pronounced <stem> as [stIm], which to me sounds like <steam> except maybe with a shorter vowel sound.
Ah. How appropriate that I have linguistics right after that. The linguistics lecture was really interactive. It was pretty difficult to take any notes for it, but the slides will be available online so it’s alright. I’m so glad I don’t have anything clashing with it. There was a mention of the “sidewalk / pavement / footpath” differences. Wow, exactly my kind of thing! Now I’ll have an excuse to talk about it all the time, as if I ever needed one. xD
Just like last semester, I still have to have lunch at Manning on Mondays. I should really bring my own lunch since all the lectures I have are in the same building.
After lunch, it was the first lecture for software development. There wasn’t really much that was covered in the lecture. I went to buy the textbook afterwards, but at least I still got home before it was dark. Riding home is so much more difficult. Still, I don’t think I want to catch the train. I’m going to see how far into the semester I can go without catching a train.
