Chapter 2: Advent of Uni

To begin this tale of hardship, struggle and whatever sounds good to make something sound better I will start at the ignoble beginnings of Summer School.

Like many, taking physics beyond Level 1 was not something I had in mind when i was year 12 let alone going into First year Health Science at Otago.
Due to my lack of knowledge within the Physics dept i decided to take the 'Jumpstart Physics' program 2 weeks prior to the start of FYHS.

After a few days of summer school, i had embraced the Otago tradition of excessive drinking, clubbing, raving and the guilt of how much study i could have done, although I'm sure its not only otago students who get that.
For 10 days straight Physics and more Physics was drummed harder and harder coming in forms of youtube, spongebob and all-sorts.

However after the many lame scenarios of men falling out of planes or cars instantly stopping, came the end of Physics summer school which was both pleasing and dissappointing.
Pleasing, that there would be no more 8am - 4pm days of Physics and dissappointing because we had to leave and seperate from the first friends we had made during our Advent of Uni. At the end of it i do wish that i could have worked harder, and I would have attained a much better mark assuming i did the work, afterall they did teach the first half of PHSI191 in 2 weeks.

ADVICE to any doing jumpstart physics or Bridging Chem, Write up your days notes just like you would lectures, and study study study.
