I'm two weeks into the new semester. As far as I know, I don't have any quizzes this semester which means less tension, compared to those in Electrical who have some 50 quizzes this semester (4 a week).

Courses are nice in general. The TA 201 instructor handled his PR (public relations) very well in the first few lectures and so attendance is high and I'm finding it interesting. The labs are not as tiring as I'd expected. Last lab we had a minor accident when the induction furnace blew, sending liquid metal flying into the air. Luckily noone was hurt.

Then there was a fight over chocolates ;) ... 4 guys were trying o divide a small piece of chocolate equally and after 5 min of dividing and partitioning, one of them got frustrated and gobbled up the whole thing :D

I've taken 3 departmental courses this sem : Databases, Comp Organization and Discrete Maths and find all of them interesting. My HSS is Linguistics. I enjoy the class discussions but well the thing is I don't know what to study for the exams.

I typically have 3 hrs of classes daily, from 8-9 and 2-4 and a lab now and then from 10 am so have a lot of free time.

So to sum up, as of now I'm enjoying the semester.
