First real day, hope later ones improve.

First day of real classes done, let's just say i really hope it gets better, or this tutor does anyway.

Firstly: the pace was way slow, started off with some basic stuff in the book, then after well long enough for any monkey to do the problems about 3 times he might start the next one, or continue talking to induvidual people while the rest of us have nothing to do..(Edit: also forgot, he is not actually an electrician.)

Except strip wire. While we understand (having been told this with emphasis 3 or 4 times) that electricians do a lot of wire stripping and need to be good at it, that does not mean that we will want to do all of that practice in the first few days of course.

All day just in the same room with the same tutor, otherwise just did some testing with multimeters and vibrating stick meters, someone blew a fuse and broke one of the meters which was kind of an amusing highlight.

Otherwise just a full day of a full class (all 3 streams) in the lecture theater tomorrow which should hopefully be more interesting, has 2 different topics on the timetable for it, i think maths and magnetism so should give more of a range and less time doing nothing hopefully. Then Wednesday is half a day of soldering and another half day of continuing what we did today (hopefully less sitting around)

For now I am going to relax and not think about stripping wires.

PS: I'll try to get more photos to put up here to make it more interesting in future.
