NPP lecture

For the 2nd time this sem, I tried really hard to absorb what Prof Thomas Osipowicz (hope I spelled correctly) was saying in his lecture. I'm telling you its damned tough, his voice is naturally a deep resonating voice and his accent which is a mix of British/Irish accent makes it difficult to understand when you're unable to catch a few words in his sentence.

Not to mention there's a whole bunch of noisy year 3 fellow majors beside me, joking and making merry oblivious to the rest of the class. Haha! (Yes you know who you are!)

There are many ways to studying and concentrating and one of the most poseur way of showing that you are paying attention is by using the highlighter. I often see people using highlighters and they highlight important part of their notes. Its just wrong to me, it just isn't enough to get all that info permanently or semi-permanently etched into your head!

However I've been doing this for some lectures of SSD when I was really sleepy and today's NPP because

1) No idea wtf he's talking about.
2) Got idea but he went to another point already, so too slow to jot down notes.
3) Lazy to get a pen
4) I'm a poseur

Also found out that there are quarks known as 'truth quarks' and 'beauty quarks'. Wtf man, particles that I have no idea of can have such strange names.

End of my quick post, going to finish up my geography assignment now!
