Precourse

Precourse is pretty much academic boot camp.  I think it's designed to filter out the weak ones.  I heard that the grades do not really count and a lot of people don't go to many of the classes.  Here is my schedule:

0800-0930 Chemistry
0945-1115 Polish
1130-1300 Chemistry
1330-1500 Physics
1715-1845 Biology

Luckily all the classes are in the Collegium Stomatologicum on 70 Bukowska Street.  That is right around the block from my dorm so it will be very accessible.  Here is a shot from inside the building.  My classes will be held on the third floor basically opposite this photo.


I've had a little trouble finding the books.  There is a website medicalbooks.pl that is the official store to purchase our books but I can't find exact matches to the titles and you cannot search very well on that site.  One is sold out too.  I'm going to see what others are doing then make some choices on which to get and where to get them.  

My roommate right now is cooking some interesting stew with items that he purchased at a very dirty roadside merchant.  The store AND the food was pretty dirty, I am not going to eat that.  Especially if he adds anchovies to it.  That was number 1 on his grocery list.  He actually searched for the cheapest anchovies from the grocery store and got them, they were 3zl or $1.  I feel that fish products are worth spending a little extra on.  I've found a nice Italian place close to my room.  It's good to get some warm food, you can only eat so many sandwiches and ramen bowls.

I'd also like to say farewell to Angels closer Brian Fuentes.  I finally do not have to watch you blow games.  

I just received a text message during this post.  I will share it with you:

Witaj w Orange POP. Tylko z tym starterem mozesz SMSowac za 1gr w Orange przez 3 miesiace.  Wyslij SMSa o tresci BONUS pod nr 268 (koszt SMS w Orange).  Translate anyone?

Speaking of the Polish language...  I will attempt to record my roommate during one of his Rosetta Stone lessons.  And I thought I sounded funny trying to speak Polish.
