AstroGirl!
i am taking astronomy this semester. to clarify, it's not astroLOGY, which deals with things like zodiac signs; it's astroNOMY-the study of constellations and galaxies. just in case you think i'm an aspiring palm reader...
so, i attended my first lecture today with 20000000 other people. haha! the humongous lecture hall is filled with sooo many people. reminds me of nus' philo lect that i crashed last year.
The lecturer has this cute hong kong accent albeit with a weird sense of "cold" humour.
here are some heavily-accented quips he made during the lecture that will leave you shaking your head in mock disbelief.
On explaining what is a star:
"a star is a star."
duh.
on explaining the milky way:
"why is the milky way galaxy called the milky way? (pauses) because it looks very milky."
whhhaaaaat?????? i was expecting a more scientific answer!
midway his lecture, an old cleaning lady walked across the hall where he was standing, in front of everyone, oblivious to the 20000000 eyes fixated on her and the lecturer's. it was such a comical moment i tell you!
ntu is such a funny place.
i can't wait for ntu crusade's potluck tomorrow at hall 13. wheeeeeeeee...
What to expect from here
