Honours?

I bumped into one of my old Primary school friends today-don't you just love those encounters?- and we started chatting away about uni & such & got onto the topic of the heading. It never even crossed my mind to consider honours as 4 years in uni is bad enough nevermind 5 or more *shudders*. The main difference btw choosing liberal rather than arts/science is because the latter takes 5 years to complete. Don't worry the logic's there:) I guess honours makes sense in terms of broadening career opps, but the chances of me getting a job that incorporates my potential 3 majors is pretty slim. It's such a weird combination :)

Today in our 3 hour chem prac we did close to nothing except chat. The closest we got to the task at hand was discussing the chemistry of relationships- which didn't help in increasing our understanding of redox reactions but the results we got for the prac were all wrong anyway so might as well clear our brains for something more useful:P It was nice to have, for the first time in 13 weeks, a meaningful girly chat around our table. I got to know aimee who's a half indo/german with a colourful, free background..tanya who's in her second year of nursing/science and loves work as much as i do-which isn't much:D.. jill who wants to transfer to my degree [heh] and a few others. It really intensified my experience of uni, that concept of meeting new ppl and sometimes taking that chance to scrape beneath the surface can reap priceless treasures. All in all this first semester has been really good-and i can say this more accurately now as it's the second last day:D As such I'm quite mystified at hearing about the number of people who've dropped out already -what a waste! is all i can say.

I'm looking forward to the church conference this w/e -in more ways than one- and hopefully squashing in some study before and after stuvac **
