Pointless
We had studio today at 1, so even though I planned on getting up really early to do work, I slept in. Tin-Man wanted us to do research with our group members in class. Every auburn student had to walk back to the dorms to get laptops. Then when we got back with the computers, nobody could connect to the internet, so pointless!
Eventually we got internet, but it took a while, and most groups just went to the library instead. On a quick side note, I think people just go to the library for the air conditioning during the day, I always see so many people passed out in the chairs.
Anyways, three of us sat around the computer looking for new technologies for our project. I dislike this kind of group work because there is only so much you can find at one time with three people on one computer. It is much more efficient (in my opinion) for everyone to go do their own research and then compile everything.
Another thing that made the research hard was the language barrier. It is always getting in the way of things. So I had to research, explain, make sure I was understood, then we had to decide if the article was what we needed. Meanwhile the internet connection is slow just to add that last little zinger.
After class we went to a cafe on campus called 37 1/2 degrees. It is a little American style oasis in the middle of all the Chinese food. I'm not really sure about the name of the place, but the food is ok. It tastes really bland compared to the food we have been eating.
Pool followed dinner, which was very very cheap. I believe we played for around two hours. There were ten of us, and we each paid about $1.20 (US), 12 dollars total! And we took up three tables! There is so much to do here... I guess there is just as much in Auburn, it just seems like more here because we are trying to make the most of our time.
