Day 2 of Fresher's week

We're already having an exam on the 2nd day..a Mathematics examination!!! urgh..to think it was going to be really tough. Not even half of the topics we revised on came out!!We were given a CD before we came to Southampton. It contains porn..NO!! i mean Maths topics and exercises that needs to b completed before coming into the Academy (which i unfortunately didn't finish). There was a topic that i had never heard before: Spherical Trigonometry, When I first LOOK through the topic..I said "What the F**K is this?" I find it quite hard as first..but during last minute revision, I managed to understand some of the concepts..

The next day (Tuesday, which is today) we did the test. Like I said before..it wasnt as bad as I taught. Logarithm and the sphere thingy didn't come up so I think I did well...Than after that we had a Briefing with Captain Saddler, a chosen pilot for cruise ships and a part timer in the Academy..He talked about career oppurtunities at sea as deck officers. He talked about his experiences..( mostly about the chances of attracting women~interesting)..I got abit more interested in the course (I need something to keep me forward..a reason to be there)..then bla bla bla..end of story..

Then a short Library and IT induction..very short, took only 30mins..then me and the guys went to city again..just to find out that the shops closes at 6pm!!! God, This F**king country is so different from other countries..the toilets were bad enough.lets not forget the food as well...sigh,Gonna have to get used to it..so we went back at 6.50pm..once I came back..I immediately crashed into me laptop...ehehe..I wish to talk more but I have to sleep.Its 12.09am and I have to wake at 7am tomorrow..I'll continue posting whenever I am free..Cheers~
