annabtgQuote of the day:
"SECOND MESSENGERS are second messengers."
Taken verbatim from a slide our Physiology I professor projected in class. And no, it wasn't followed by "As in, ..." or "This means that ...". It just went on a new paragraph from there.
Heh.
Another thing I learned today: FEEDBACK maintains the homeostasis. If it wasn't for Feedback, we would have trouble surviving.
Seriously.
WHICH IS WHY REVIEWING IS VITAL.
(For those who think I'm delirious, please keep in mind that in the L&C community, we usually 'give feedback' instead of 'reviewing'.)
Okay, so, as you understand, I had my first class at the university today. And I'm thrilled :) I liked it very much. I love studying the way the human body works (the object of our Physiology I class), and I pretty much could understand what the teacher was saying, despite the fact that, even with a microphone and speakers, the acoustics in the amphitheatre wasn't very good and we couldn't make out several perplexing terminology words :p I'm looking forward to the next class, on Thursday.
Didn't get the book yet. The bookstore people hadn't got the catalogs with the registered students who are entitled to free books, so they couldn't give it to us. Too bad, I would have liked to take a look :(
I'm damn tired, though. Woke up at 8:20; had driving class from 9 to 10:30; had lunch at noon (about 2 hours earlier than I use to); left home at 12:25, walked 20 minutes to the suburban railway station, took the train, after a 9-minute-ride had to change and take the metro to Ambelokipi (a 15-minute-ride), then had to walk 10 minutes to where the university establishments are (but also visited two bookstores before going there. Thankfully, they were very close to the establishments, almost on my way there.). Then, after two hours of class (well, one hour and a half, because it actually started at 2:15 instead of 2 and we had a fifteen minute break at 3) took the same way home, only I had to wait 25 minutes for the suburban railway train to arrive.
I enjoyed it nonetheless :D
I also met a few kids that look nice. Two girls and a boy. One of the girls is named Anna. *headdesk* I should start going around as Anouk, seriously.
Which reminds me... the other girl (Yvonni) asked me for some info. Must send her an SMS. And then I'll get to writing something on my friend Myrto's dedications notebook. She wants it back asap.
With this, I sign off, my friends. Talk to you soon.

Date: 2006-09-26 09:14 am (UTC)Well - it so happens that when we were in the second year of junior high (what you'd call 8th grade, methinks), a friend of mine came to school one day after having watched Chocolat (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0241303/). There was a girl called 'Anouk' in the movie, and she was all like 'the name Anouk reminded me of Anna, so I'm going to call you Anouk from now on'. (I later found out that Anouk is actually a legitimate pet form of Anna, in French and Dutch.)
At first I didn't like it at all, so she'd call me Anouk mainly when she wanted to tease me. Then at some point I started to like it and actually became fond of it. Started to use it for signing scrapbooks, signing under the drawings I made on my desk *g* and stuff like that. My close friends often call me that. I don't think I know anyone who calls me exclusively Anouk, though (well, except the people from a forum I've joined as Anouk *g*).
Now, I like to use my real name for everything. After all, I do like my name. But the fact that it's so common kind of bugs me, especially in situations like 'Anna did this.' - 'Anna who?' I'd go on and change all my screennames to Anouk, like Sara the Irish One became Sorcha, but... after all this time, Anna B. the Greek has become pretty recognizable.
I was thinking about doing it on LJ, but then I'll feel kind of stupid, having signed everywhere until now as Anna :p Besides, it makes sense to change name because you're revealing your real name (like Laura U. - she used to be Alicia, you know?) but changing your real name to a nickname... I don't know.
See ya,
Anna.
