Its coming to the end of my 3rd week of classes, and what a weird week its been. Geochemistry and Geology of the Solar System problem sets are pretty darn hard but on receiving the marks for one of my Geochem one's, it proved to be mid range which isnt too bad all things considered.
Outside of academia, someone got murdered on campus on wednesday morning. Aparently, a brawl broke out between 2 women in one of the residence halls with one ending up being stabbed, the other arrested. See http://www.arizona.edu/home/news-alert.php. Obviously my condolences goes out to the family and friends of the deceased, its a tragic thing to happen in what is suppose to be a happy and enlightening university environment but it is all too common in America. Just 5 years ago, the UA had its own gun massacre. A student who failed his course took out 3 of his professors before commiting suicide. Outside of the UA, everyone remembers Columbine and, more recently, Virginia Tech.
On a lighter note, someone im sharing the apartment with won a TV the other day! (not that American TV is much to write home about) im just looking forward to watching the Simpson's on Fox and hunting around for abit of the Rugby World Cup.
And finally, to finish with some slightly odd news from Poland. Wroclaw police arrested a Polish author after it was found he commited a murder that had been described in one of his novels. I know a writer might struggle for ideas for his next best seller but doing practical experiments is taking it abit too far!
By the way, if your thinking of going to Kazakhstan for your holidays (like you do), look out for the Lion which literally just walked out of Kazakh zoo. A gate keeper accidentally left the door open so the Lion took to a little exploring.
S'all for now folks. Got work to do, people to see.
