Turkeys and Classes

We have a turkey problem.

Remember the cute fun eccentric turkeys that I talked about earlier? Yeah? They won’t shut the eff up.

So our roof is tin or some sort of tin-like substance. It is also flat and apparently very attractive to turkeys. Literally all night Sunday night a turkey decided it would be fun to run around. From midnight when we went to bed until 6:30 when we couldn’t take it anymore and got up (of course the bugger decided to stop then) this stupid turkey was pounding around. The things have talons, so there is scratching and a surprisingly loud pounding constantly. There has been talk about investing in an apartment sling shot to help with the problem.

Anyway, moving on. Classes started! Our first tutorial (which is like a recitation) was canceled. Erin and I didn’t realize this until we got there, but it was nice to see where the room would be. The next class was another tutorial, this one not canceled. It was kind of intimidating. We were given a sheet of problems, 4 of them, and told to essentially have at it. Erin and I pretty much knew none of them. It was a good time.

I’m thinking this semester is going to suck class wise. You see, at Purdue we go through a year of general engineering and BS classes and then begin to get into the actual major sophomore year. I’ve had all of three actual chemical engineering classes so far. At UQ, they do nothing BUT classes in their major. Things might be a bit difficult just due to sheer lack of knowledge volume. We may just have to work hard and ask for help. There will be a lot less filler homework, so I think it will help dedicate a lot more time to learning the concepts rather than doing the homework.

Ah well, only time will tell.

Side note, I'm sick of the numbered titles so I'm going to name my posts things that are relevant rather than the numbers now.

Hey look! It’s a much shorter blog post! Golly geepers!
