History...
This War and Medicine history course is really turning out to be the best history course so far of the entire time I've been at HKU. I mean, seriously I haven't been so engrossed and interested in a historical topic/lesson since Mr Campion's classes at SIS and that's saying something. (I sort of suspect it might be due to the fact that I have a preference for English accents...Lord knows how I've LONGED to be taught by an English person since leaving secondary school) It's admittedly a very welcome feeling to hearing an English accent again.
And yes, I am so sure that the professor sounds so much like Hugh Grant. Even my mum says so.
Plus nearly all the examples given in the lectures are from Britain or British history...always something interesting to me, of course. I smiled when we had to watch Tony Richardson's The Charge of the Light Brigade (since by coincidence, I'd already seen the film last year) and it was actually revolving around an event I sort of knew (the Crimean War).
However, alas, Wednesdays this term always have to tempered by the most boring lecture ever (about energy once again)...I thought the format of the lectures would have changed by now but nope, we're still listening to the lecturer go on and on about processes, definitions, explanations, etc. I left after the first hour since I sadly couldn't take it anymore. I kind of think this is going to be an ongoing process with me with regards to this particular course. I dread even thinking of doing the final exam for this... *sigh*
