Greetings to all in the New Year and the New Semester. New Year's wishes hope you fulfil all your New Year's resolutions if you're still not jaded enough to stop making new ones every year.
And no, I am not jaded enough myself as I have once again come up with a number of resolutions myself, which I don't know if I will be able to keep.
So the new semester has started and we had our first two lectures yesterday. Four hours of physics. Non-stop, back to back. At 0830 in the morning to 1230 in the afternoon. And to top it off, the lecturer for waves and optics (the 0830 lecture) has been the most powerful to date. Behold,
I call him Mike Tyson. The reason is evident below.
20-30 minutes into the lecture and within a 2 seat radius from where I was sitting, there were already 3 people knocked out. The guy directly in front on me was smarter though. He had a laptop with him and was surfing some stuff on anime.
Furthermore, after what felt like an hour or so, the guy next to me tapped me and told me that only 30 min had passed. Time is DEFINITELY dilating in the lecture theatre. For that reason, I shall call the act of going for his lecture, "Entering the Starship Enterprise" (named after the ultrafast starship from Star Trek).
After what seemed like an eternity, the lecture finally ended. In closing, Mike Tyson, perhaps in an effort to lighten the mood, perhaps as an act of pure sarcasm, flashed the following slide.
I couldn't help but laugh drily to myself as I walked out of the LT.
