This paper’s convenor has to be the laziest one I’ve come across in 4 years of courses. All our tutorials have basically been taken straight off the textbook’s online resources website – the questions all unchanged. During lectures she makes a very, very distant summary of 2, 3 chapters of the textbook at a time, yet everything in those chapters are examinable. What is the point of the lecture if we have to memorise the textbook after that?
Copying the online material from chapters 11-24 have so far given me 45 pages in MS Word. This lecturer is lazy. $500 into the student loan. Not worth it. ‘Nuff said.

The holidays are an exciting thing to think about
I’m excited. Just finished an essay, now have 3 weeks to study for 4 exams. I caught my brother’s cold, which knocked me out of action for a couple of days last week. On Saturday I DM’ed a slow night whilst Verne watched the rugby with glee. And on Thursday one of our inebriated middle-aged male customers dragged a middle-aged female customer into the toilets. Me and the other staff member that saw it just shook our heads, and she got to clean up the toilets at the end of the night.
In other news, we have a poker table! I can say that it’s a decent investment for social lubrication. Here’s a cool picture of a random room:
Going to hang out with Linda’s family tonight. Hope you’re all happy celebratin’ the Queen and her birthday, etc!

midterms
I’m pretty sure I didn’t dish any April fools’ jokes out today.
Here’s a selection of study notes from my papers:
“Lactate Threshold” is the point at which during incremental exercise the increase in arterial blood lactate increases disproportionately (i.e. exponentially).
???? – This phrase means that something is “well worth reading”.
Qualitative research is inherently biased. The postmodernist point of research is now not to be a neutral observer, because no such thing exists. Rather it is better to simply state your bias from the outset.
?F = ma; at the ankle joint COM this includes mg, GRF/shear, joint reaction forces. Rotational formula: ?M = I?. M = F*d.
After Wednesday I’ll be much more relieved! Hope you’re all studyin’ hard!
