Anyways. Days have been so BUSY I couldn't think ahead of more than two days at a time. and I really couldn't emphasize the word BUSY more. EVERYDAY is so FULL of workload and due dates. Besides the same old reports, assignments, and test, we literally CAMP in the lab for freaking long hours, either figuring out how to move the robot, or fix the robot, or debug the program. I could hardly find time to eat and the hours are terribly long and tiring. Two days before the competition, we even lengthen our hours in the uni until late night. Some people even stayed over for the last night. Thankfully, the mid sem break is here, I'm relaxed a little more, yet I still see myself spending the entire week in monash.
Ya, so we won. So at least that part of our hard work has paid off. Not that there will be time to celebrate, it was just the preliminary competition after all. After this week, another three hellish weeks is coming up! not to mention I've zero knowledge of the studies this semester, because of the overflowing assignments. sigh. guess that I won't have time to worry bout it until the three weeks long study break (Thank god for that!). Here's the breakdown of next three weeks:
Week 10: Labview assignment due 10%
Week 11: Engineering design report due 30%
Week 12: Engineering design presentation 10%
Engineering design final competition 35%
Computer system Lab test 10%
THREE WEEKS. looks like the same workload for 9 weeks doesn't it? so of course we have to work overtime during mid semester break. what choice do we have left? sigh. but, it's fine. it's really fine. I'm taking a liking to my discipline even more recently ^^ somehow I find electrical people simpler and kinder and nicer than others. I like nice people.
Teaching. oh well. it's nearing the end of the year, so most of the work I have is just to revise the syllabus. And another student left me recently, pretty sad about it but never mind. I won't have time to teach soon anyway, since I have decided to intern with my mentor this coming holidays. I might have to quit teaching permanently. hmm. might.
And ELP. it feels like its in the way now. in the way of my mid sem break. In the way of my lab assignments. In the way for me enjoying dinner out. and since things have changed, or more like since I've decided for the better for myself, ELP is just no longer fun. but whatever, it'll be over soon enough. I'm still thankful to get to know my mentor through ELP though. not to mention my internship opportunity, and also the opportunity to meet and know so many other new friends.
lastly, say hi to BINGO. tadahhhh.
and, I can FINALLY call myself a programmer. muahahahaha. I'm no longer a computer noob and I can finally consider myself engineer material. BIG ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR ^^
life is near perfect for me now, I guess? I have progressive work which add values to my future (what my mentor always emphasize). I have good people around me. very good people. I ate lala and crab with family recently. and I still managed to squeeze time for my friends sometimes. just a little more time for me to catch up on my sleep and life would be perfect. Oh and I have to change the antisocial attitude of myself. Somehow, too engaged in work I guess? tend to be more antisocial recently.
okay. til then. ciao ^^
