That's what I go to school for

I've never done a proper post on school, have I? It has always been a little here and there in this blog, talking about my lessons, and whining about studying for exams. So here's a little tour of UCL!

This is the Geography Department at the Pearson Building -I hardly ever have lessons here, I've only been here twice -the first time for the briefing for exchange students, and I've only had 1 tutorial here (cos I skipped the other one hahaha). The rest of the Geog department is located at Bedford Way, where ironically I only have Anthropology lessons at. I love Geography! (:


I spotted a staff poster on the wall. Yanjie must have been thinking WTH is wrong with her when he took this photo. Haha!
If you are a loyal follower of this blog (haha) you might remember that I wanted to blog about my hot lecturers but never got around to doing it -well now's the time! They're the two guys my fingers are sort of pointing at (I realised they aren't exactly pointing at them, but somewhere in the vicinity -good to protect their identities then).

M.G. wears flowery shirts, but looks good in t-shirts, has slightly curly and slightly shorter-than-shoulder-length hair, has a very soothing voice and sounds like a very sensitive intelligent man. And he is really intelligent, because half the time I have no idea what he is talking about and am usually chatting to Winnieee on Gchat during lessons :X Heather says that she just wants to give him a hug HAHA.

J.D. is American, quite good looking and is extremely charismatic -I think that he wouldn't be out of place on TV seriously. We all go to his lectures to be entertained, and we never fail to be entertained with his humour (e.g. describing a certain bus's appearance as being as rare as that of a unicorn, proclaiming he was going to hell for eating something as cute as a puffin -and he even showed us pictures of puffins for us to get the idea) -I even record his lectures because he is THAT funny. I look at my lecture notes and see that I have taken down quotes from him instead of taking down proper notes. Hmm. Then I realise while studying for his exam that his module's content wasn't very good in the way it was structured and that I hated it. Hahaha.

Okay despite this bimbotic post, I really must emphasise how good the lecturers in UCL are (hot or non-hot) -reading their articles I really am impressed by the quality of their work and bowled over by their intelligence, and I can see why the Geography department ranks so highly.

Okay other parts of school:

This is the Anthropology Department -see that white piece of paper stuck on the glass door? It says Department of Anthropology UCL on it -I don't know why they can't afford a proper sign! The doors are locked and you need a code to get in. Haha. I have my weekly Anthropology tutorials (tiny class size ranging from 2-5 people) here, and this is where I drop off and pick up my Anthro essays from too!


And this is the cafe in which I lost my old camera. Bleah. The greens are out! (:


And that, below, is one of my favourite buildings in UCL -the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies (SSEES) -it's so gorgeous on the outside and the inside and I love the library(the pictures on the right hand side are that of the library from the outside). It helps that not that many people use this library, so I'm glad for the Anthropology mod that let me spend some time in here and to increase my knowledge of the region (:



So yup all in all I think I did have a good learning experience here in UCL (though not as much as it could have been cos come on, I'm on EXCHANGE -I don't do all that much work haha), though I still find the NUS geog department way more homey and approachable! And though that's where my heart lies I'm still glad to have had the opportunity to experience something different. So goodbye UCL for now! Maybe I'll see you one day for PostGrad HAHA. See where my dreams lead me to!
