GEMS100. Carl Burton & Ekta Taneja. M 3-4:30PM. 01. This is basically the class that helps me adjust to college life/Gemstone program (research thing that only crazy people will do). 02. It's led by a sophomore and junior who are awesome. 03. We do icebreakers. Lots of icebreakers. 04. We also play telephone charades, which is fun. (The rules are this: Divide a group into 2 teams. One team thinks up a word/phrase and tells it to the first person of the team. The first person must act it out for the next person on the team, but no one else on that team can look. And so on, until the last person in the line guesses at the word. The thing is, if one person in the chain has no idea what the person before was doing, then you're all screwed. Which is how dragon was guessed elephant. And skydiving was guessed elevator/taking a dump.) 05. Apparently, we can't escape icebreakers. Ever.
While I love GEMS100, my first Monday with classes was horrible. Since I have Bio at 9, I thought I'd just hang around/do my homework on that side of campus till my next class. So at noon, I went to English, followed by Chem at 1. Then I went to the bookstore to return a book (last day for full refunds), and ended up in line for ~40 minutes. By that time, I couldn't get my latelatelate lunch/dinner (lunner? Dinch?), and had to endure 90 minutes of hunger.
General Chem Lab. Jones. TA: Ye. T 3:30-6:20PM. 01. Horrible. 02. So, so horrible. 03. The TA doesn't seem to have any idea what he's doing. 04. The room is hot (especially under your labcoat). 05. We spent 90 minutes measuring water. That was our lab. Measuring water. 06. There are no stools. 07. Did I already mention it was horrible? 'Cause it was.
