I have exams these two weeks. I think I am doing well.
University is still so much fun it's unbelievable.
I and my friend decided to have breakfast at the Students center two days ago since the exams start at 9:30AM. We didn't expect many people to be there, but there were so many we didn't have place to sit! So we bought juice and cake and ate at the garden, and almost froze. We walked to college afterwards and my feet got so cold I was starting to limp at the end of the road.
It's so cold outside, thank God my college has a heating system!
So much happens and yet I have nothing to tell!!
Let's see.. I'll tell you about two of our male students..
We have one student who is really funny and not at all shy to talk with girls. He's short and a bit fat, and so we the girls feel comfortable talking with him.. do not ask why!
He's planning to be a cook if he fails at the uni :D
He has gone through the sixth grade three times trying to get an average of marks high enough to get him to Medicine, and apparently failed, which is why he really really envies me.
Another was a student at Computer science college, had the highest marks and got the opportunity to move to Engineering and chose our college. He seems smart, and till now, I haven't discovered a stronger competitor at our class. He also is social, loves poetry and would spend every spare moment he has teaching the other students.
The first is therefore 3 years older than me, the second a year older, and so are most of the other students. For some reason, almost all the boys have tried their best to go to Medicine or Pharmacy by the repeating the sixth grade once or twice, or even three times. Everyone wants to be a doctor, a dentist or a Pharmacist, and very few, engineers!! Why?! Because engineers can not find jobs I think, while doctors are always needed everywhere they go.
The ice-wall between us and the male students have almost melted, especially during the exams. We ask each other before the exam (But I usually try to get as far as possible from these discussions so I wouldn't get all confused), and discuss the answers after the exam (Which I love to do)..
