Star Trek and uni
Sunday, April 17, 2011
I bought Star Trek (the 2009 version) on dvd when it was on sale some time last year and I finally got around to watching it yesterday. The storyline was a bit confusing at first and there were some plot holes here and there, but overall, I thought it was a really great movie. A good, balanced mix of all the genres that the film was intending to portray. The actors and actresses were pretty good too, though, I haven't seen any of the original Star Trek movies so I had nothing to compare this film or it's characters to. But anyway, thumbs up (Y)
So it had just dawned on me today the amount of work I actually have to do for uni. The mid-sem break that I was so looking forward to will need to be primarily spent on researching and report writing. Knowing me, that probably won't end up being the case, and I'll probably end up doing my assignments on the days it's due and wanting to dig myself in a hole.
A few weeks back, there was an informal seminar at uni for the first year OTs and a few of the other second years and I had a Q&A with them. It felt like one of those celebrity conferences, where reporters/the papparazzi would ask the celebrity questions and then write notes down from what they've answered. Except I'm not a celebrity. And they're not reporters. But they were scribbling on their pads furiously.
They requested for the seminar thing because they were overwhelmed with the workload, with mid-sems coming up and all and wanted advice on how manage all of that + tips for 1st year subjects, and we just answered based on our first year experiences. Thinking back to the beginning of last year though, I don't remember any of the OTers in my cohort being that stressed. We kinda just bludged our way through first semester.
Okay, I forgot the point I was trying to make with this recount.
Anywho, yes, I have a lot of uni work to do, so I'll finish up here.
Thanks for reading :)
