make time

indulging myself the the hectic-ness of year 3 engineering. it's no joke. these days, you will either find me with the computer working with reports, or spending hourssss in the lab racking my brain. or teaching. and that's it T.T

and week 5 is just over, I now it's fast, but there's still a long way to go until I complete this semester. gah. ENDLESS assignments. literally ENDLESS until the end of semester. there won't be a day before that which I could say ' yay! I've done all my work!' . NONE. zzz. 

not that it's all suffer. some are interesting and challenging, though not many would agree. because most of them are heck troublesome. anyhow, I'm kept my pace this semester, won't say I've fallen back too much or some what. So, time to MAKE TIME for my friends huh? MAKE TIME. zzzz.

Third Year

Guess that one of the greatest difference of this semester with the rest is independence. Some how this time round we know that when we want something done, we have to make it done by ourselves. Mostly we got scared by the Engineering Design unit. A 100% project based unit. We have to design and build a freaking robot which could play hockey and compete with the rest of the robots by the end of this semester. ONE HUNDRED FREAKING PERCENT project based unit. no wonder we're so scared. gah.

The lecturers, are okay, bt their lectures...some not so. sigh. why is it always like that? there's only dr. mark whom I can really count on. To compensate for the heavy work load, this semester we have no ONLINE QUIZZES. I hate online quizzes. they're so frequent and I have to spend so much time on just the one or two percent they carry. such a pain in the ass. so glad that I'm rid of them this semester!

Also, this semester I started to mix with more different people. the people i used to not talk to, somehow we're talking now. Finally huh. Not sure if its because of the lack of people in my batch. or that we finally managed to break the ice after two years of being course mates. Or that I'm not so nervous speaking to new people now. Or somehow that my confidence got boosted a bit considering the recent change in my life. hee. Or that being 21 is really THAT different with my previous 20 years. Even within my circle of people I could hear some wisdom now instead of just the usual jokes and craps we used to say so much.

Anyhow, I'm glad. I'm not so worried anymore. I'm not so tied up anymore. I'm practically fine just hanging out with anybody. Also, it's my luckiest semester =p 

Since the circumstances have already worked so well for me, I should just grab hold of this opportunity and focus on improving my engineering technical skills right? I have lots to learn and to practice. I need to learn the parts and chips and graphs and codes in different languages. I have to get better at programming. I have to BUILD A FREAKING ROBOT.

I'm half an engineer now, cool huh? guess so ^^

til then.

ciao~
