Here's some drama.
So it turned out last week that one of my papers got automatically withdrawn. Unfortunately being told this via e-mail midway through last Saturday I didn't have a lot of time to react to the news, not that I could anyway, since the offices weren't open on Monday. However on said day a whole bunch of the paper advisor and I with "I'm available now but you're not" took place, finally ending sometime around Wednesday with me going through the campus printery the back way to get my course material. Oh, the bureaucracy. But we got through it.
MUSA, still being rather staunch about the whole "No more student unions, possibly" issue that's been going on since forever ago decided not to have a re-orientation event on campus; mind you it's never as big as the one in the first semester.
Instead the vets made up for that with their "party as hard as you work" attitude, with what I am assuming was approximately 3½ parties organised in the space of a week.
End of drama.
First impressions are varied for my papers, although now that I'm well into my second year at university the lecturers taking the papers are becoming repeated, that is, we're all seeing them pop up here and there all over again. It is also the stage where attempting to explain exactly what you are taking requires you to give up and suggest they take the 1st year-equivalent first.
But nothing too challenging yet, also it is the first week - I think my biggest cause for concern would be the singular yet big assignment for Software Engineering... requiring us to work in a group of 5 with progress milestones along the way. Obviously communication will play a big part here, but getting all 5 of us together (considering the social loops in play are 3 guys, then me, then a Peruvian) will be interesting.
That's all for now.
