Hot for teacher!

Lecturers who teach the subjects in engineering are a strange breed. Highly intelligent, with twisted ideas on what is funny. They are passionate about all the stuff other men are interested in but in a whole different way. Sure be obsessed about music, but understand how to best design your audio system to provide the quality sound possible. Fast cars are cool, but make sure you know why they are fast and how to make them faster. Sure sport is good, but are they seeing an athlete proficient with a ball or do they see a whole lot of forces acting on a sphere? They are so rapt up in these things that it would hardly even occur to them that other people wouldn't be, or if they do notice that others go glaze eyed when they start talking particle acceration, they don't care. Confident that it is way more interesting than knowing how to wear pink with confidence. Men should not wear pink, ever!! Anyway I really like these lecturers, especially when they are male. When they are female they either fall into two categories, women I want to be like and women I don't want to be like. As I am studying engineering I don't have many female lecturers, which leave the male lecturers. I have little mini crushes on them. All of them. I wonder what they are like as people. I enjoy their company, as a person in a room with a hundred other people. My tutors are different they are more like pimplely teenagers who are just doing the tutoring for the money and have absolutely no real interest in your learning. I have a soft spot for complex, intelligent, mature, goofy men. Willett has noticed this, not the crush on lecturers part, but the bit where I find mature men attractive. He has decided this is a good thing, because in all likelyhood he will be a goofy old man, who I will have a soft spot for.

Memorial Javaira scholarship and other nonsense.

learnt stuff, head full. Wonder why almost all scholarships are for young people? Do older people have less to offer? I will have the memorial Javaira scholarship for mature age students, who know what they want and plan to do it for a career, rather than because their Mum said they should. Had fun being a nerd. Willett at another gig, he has a gig once a week at the moment. He has told the band that he will be leaving. Busy, comfortable. Life is very good, and just a tad exciting. Shall do some further Physics tonight as I like it.

Physics

Apparently to be an engineer, it is expected that you understand physics. At least a bit of high school physics. I remember Physics in year 11 and 12. I remember the most interesting people in the room were all 17 - 18 year old, good looking boys. I wish it had been the teacher, I do, but it wasn't. I remember the teacher, he was the kind old gentle man who told me I could be good at this if I wanted to be and I shouldn't let the boys distract me. So now I am learning stuff I should already know. I blame hormones, because before them I was a very rational person. Stupid adults why do they all end up being right in the end? Blah, I still got the guy and I will get the degree as well. Cake and eat it!!!

Random

I just want to say.......................... I thought the sunglasses looked good on Ozbhoy. Of course SH thought they didn't, which is why they ended up smashed under Ozbhoy's foot, with SH and Willett laughing, while I stood there stunned. Truly the moment was very random. It is good to have Ozbhoy back. I didn't go the university today, I am very naughty and will be punished with much regret at some point.

Stuff has been happening

I have new shoes, which I bought online without leaving my house. They arrived 2 days later and are not only great value for money but exactly what I wanted. I am working at keeping up to date with my assignments, but I did get %100 on my first physics thing, so I am feeling good about it all. I have new shoes, specially chosen for getting around university. Willett did not get the dream location. He is philosophical about it. I had a feeling they were tagging us along. Oh well not to bother. I got new shoes were from Rivers. We had a meeting about the business's image, with the image people. It was fun. I have a feeling once we get the logo and stuff together everything will fall into place properly. I should put a picture of my shoes up, but I am wearing them and I am lazy. I got some jeans aswell. Probably other stuff has happened, but I haven't really noticed. In other news it looks like recycled water is going to happen one way or another.

I had a chance to go out tonight. I kind of wish I had now, as I am quite in the mood for dancing around and laughing. I am proud of Tomas. I can see a hint of who he is going to be as a man and I like it. Now, I never got those people who wore college jumpers, like the Americans do. Except I wouldn't mind getting one of my own. I am just so pleased with myself being a uni student and all. I strongly suspect that it really isn't cool to wear one, what do you reckon? University might be my current challenge but it aint that special. Lots of people go to university and finish, lots of people never go and become great people. For me this is what I am good at, you know the academic stuff, there isn't much else. I think I will get one of those jumpers and be embarrassing proud when I where it. I could wear it to footy games and I could get a footy jumper and wear it to uni. Now I must finish making house clean, and feeding children so I can get on with a very basic C program, I think I have to make it say "hi there". WOW!!!! I like this subject it is revision of stuff I did years ago. It is like watching a film you saw as a child. You can't recollect how it went, but as soon as you sit down to watch it again, it all comes back. I am not feeling quite so smug about physics though. I mentioned my two new friends, the nerds, the lovely smart bright nerds. Who should be doing a lot better than they are at university. Two things going against them, addicted to magic the gathering and private school education. The first is pretty self explanatory, the second means they have no idea how to be active learners. They are used to being spoon fed stuff. It just doesn't happen that way at university. There a great chunks of your course material that you get told about, but not taught. It is up to you to learn it. They know this is a problem, but they still think private schooling is better than public, although couldn't actually explain why, so my opinion is unchanged. I am waiting for a logic reason, before I spend a stupid amount of money on private education for my children.

This is me, I am a middle aged woman.

When did I get so old? Oh well at least I look like a nice old woman.

Another survey.

Queenslanders only http://whatthepeoplewant.net/questionnaire-021-water-recycling.asp I would like to see everyone say that they thought recycled water was good, but I think it is important people answer honestly so a true feel for how people are thinking about this issue is shown. Lets hope I am not a minority.
