The Wednesday News Bulletin

Kia ora and good evening, this is Room 5 Network News.

In headlines this week:
75 students have been selected to take part in the exclusive vet course. It what was widely considered to be a protest on Saturday, the initation took place at the Duck Ponds on campus, near the Vet Tower.

The second semester communication course has been considered "intense" by surveyed students, reporting that "course material moves forward a page a minute". Students will be taking a test on Thursday or Friday morning, which will account for 15% of the final grade. Even though there is no final exam for the subject, there are 5 assignments including this one, and also set homework.

On a similar note, the two Computer Science papers' labs have been reporting good results, with a so far perfect result for both papers. Lecturer Dr Catherine McCartin says that even though the labs account for less than 5% of the final mark, the skills learned will come in handy in the future.

In technology, my external hard drive has been retrived from the computer shop; even though the recovery was a success, most of the data has been pushed into random folders, recovery group expect the debris to be cleared within a fortnight.

And in sport, Colombo Hall has had mixed results in the Social Leagues, with a defaulted win and a loss for Ultimate Frisbee and a defaulted loss and another loss in Volleyball. Frisbee captain Jason commented on the 12-8 loss on Monday, saying, "the team needs to work on marking, there have been times where the disc has swapped posession and players haven't moved in to mark up". No comment was available from the Volleyball player Aaron, who was absent at the game tonight due to a prior arrangement to play hockey at 9.

Now over to weather.

Weather
Cold, warm, wet, dry, rainy, sunny, cloudy, undecided. Wish we had warmer temperatures like my Granddad in China.
