G'day mates,
Hiii,welcome :P

I almost missed first hour at college today because of... trash🗑️

the garbage truck was supposed to arrive half an hour earlier, 

It! 🚛 

did! 🙄 

not! 🚫 

should had just left then and there :)  Thnkfully prof.Albert was kind enough to let us in... even though we shamelessly ran inside half an hour (almost ½hour)late. He was talking about the history of our college, about the former Scottish directors and how the "school to college" transformation took place (more than a century 1830s 1840s), "all" the principals and their contributions till date! Sir knew the whole chronology as well as major events byheart... David sir's memory capacity  is 📈🚀

Second hour we had... Prof.Livingstone's Deutsch class

Ich spreche ein wenig Deutsch.

That's it, let's not judge my German. Actually...

Ich kann kein Deutsch sprechen.

And during breaktime, I was just catching up with some friends from other departments (gossiping)

For third hour, we had Basic Tamil after a long time, sir was teaching பழமொழி :

"அகத்தின் அழகு முகத்தில் தெரியும்."

     used google translate, yes :) can't let anyone catch me lacking in Tamil <3

                    

Thennn it was British Literature next, today prof.Christina shared how her student life (year 2003?) in MCC was like. She told us how students and professors would stay back after classes (which ends at noon 1:30), their love for poetry reciting in groups, "human library" experiences, etc...

She also taught us the coffeehouse culture ☕, this one, I like it, it's interesting:

Then she spoke about how interesting and important it is to know the origins of terms and phrases;

(Etymology noun.)

Example: "what's up" 

     During the 19th century,people used to put news 📰🗞️up on walls and people would ask "what's up" to know what's happening/what the news is about. That is how "what's up" became a common phrase.

                    (After classes)

- we had a seminar from Wildlife Conservation Club. It was a workshop on Birding, the Zoology seniors did the whole programme, they updated us on the ecological succession of the college lake(widened the banks). They talked about the process, taught us about the different aquatic plants and animals in detail, common lake flora and fauna, presented the pictures of the lake they took, physically brought the live tiny fishes and shrimps 🦐 inside the seminar hall.

Then camera trap techniques !

They showed us how the heat sensor works and all other details, played the recording they caught inside the depths of the college forest...

Then... one senior randomly pulled up with a snake's skin-

I ran to touch it...

Did not expect the texture to feel exactly like plastic, it's apparently because:

The discarded skin, is made of keratin, the protein found in human hair and nails. This outer layer is tough and flexible to protect the snake, and as it dries out after being shed, it can feel like thin, stiff plastic.

The workshop ended within a few hours, it was so fun, enjoyed it, the Zoology seniors were really cool!

Got snacks and drinks~

    we came back home right after ;)

                - tired and happy -
