been so tired these few days, think its cos of frisbee at night, running abt in the cold and knowing how unfit i was.
The placement tests went surprisingly well, got placed into Honors Analysis and 3 yrs of credit of histroy. For Physics, din know Angular Momentum and Moment of intertia, so cant do 3/10 qns. Will see what happens then. TK kept us waiting for an hour plus while he tried to derive and construct the theory, but to no avail. Oh yea, have only 1 PE session to do, surprise surprise. But think im putting on weight with all the food. Swim test coming up, would have fun with it.
Registration would be in 1 hour, my idea of topics keeps on changing from moment to moment, not really sure of what courses i want to take. There goes all the planning i did last time, but well, it did help me alot.
Watched a comunity voices video yersterday, which was abt diversity in the UoC. Raised certain pertinent points, like what constitutes discrimination, intolerance, ignorance. Realized that no matter what the govt says, Singapore is still not as harmonious as we hope it to be (but of course we all knew that). And surprisingly, so are some Americians from sheltered backgrounds prejudiced and biased against certain groups. There is no such thing as a stereotype.
Have to learn how to speak better, have my thoughts translate into words faster and in sentences. The Americians seem to do that pretty well, since they have been doing that so often, or at least the more vocal ones. International students seem hesitant to speak up, could be due to their educational system (which is another area im interested in ... how!? what to study?!)
Currently trying to solve a problem given by a maths prof. Consider a n-gon, label its vertices and midpoints a unique number from 1 to 2n. For what S (as a function of n) can we have a labelled n-gon with side sum S? [The problem was restricted to n=3,4,5,6,7,8]
Am majorly stuck LOL, which is why i haven been blogging, and am typing this now.
