I'm a med sci student as well, and last year i had things on every day plus 8 o'clock starts four days a week....so glad that i don't have to go through that again :)
last year i could only go to the 8am maths lectures, so i had four 8am starts every week. so tired :sleep: so glad that i don't have anymore this year :D
I just started working at easyway in burwood, but i'll be transferring to the new one in usyd soon. I don't think you need to be able to speak other languages, just english is enough, since most of the customers order in english anyway.
I used Na as an example as well, and wrote similar ideas to you. I didn't expect we have to draw a mass spectrometer, I only labeled ionisation chamber, magnetic field and ion detector/collector.
