well, due to the power shortage, I only had one lecture today. It was an introduction to anatomy and the relevant terminology. The lecturer was funny and to me, that made it sort of worth while going to uni just for an hour lecture.
Diagnosis: You have an idiopathic, idiosyncratic pyrexia. (oooo...sounds serious =O)English: idiopathic =
unknown cause
idiosyncratic =
only you have it pyrexia =

You just gotta love Latin/Greek :).
I've been thinking about whether I should volunteer in the
embrace-education program and tutor refugees studying Yr 12. Can anyone who has joined please give me an idea how it's like? visit their website:
