Some thoughts about this design module I'm doing:
I'm an Engineering student, not a patent attorny nor an orthopedic surgeon!! Why do I have to know their trade?? orz
I am DEFINATELY not secretary material (today's the Nth time I'm swimming in a sea of patent).
I really don't like my life.... orz

Crazy Engineers
I've came to this BIG revealation that all 3rd batch of n u s bio engineers are crazy.
I mean... not only THE girls, but hey~ if a guy (a fellow coursemate actually) can declare after saying that he's ("we're" for a matter of fact...) not gonna to get a job after graduation that he will join superstar and become a rock star... I SERIOUSLY DO NOT THINK ANYONE OF THE BIO ENGINEERS IN MY BATCH ARE SANE... orz
So far... we have in our batch... an aspiring baker, cook, florist, cafe owner, rock star, teacher, and numerous taitais-to-be... oh yah~ and yours truly here an aspiring tour guide. We're such a batch of creme la de creme~~
p/s: just read the ST's recuit section's cover page talking about how people should attempt to NOT take the beaten track of engineering (here's talking about civil, mechanical and electrical engineering) AND go for other kinds of engineering like BIO ENGINEERING and aeronautical engineering... any takers fellow bio engineers?

sigh
Today's the last day of the first half of the sem... (even though I have to make-up for lecture tmr morn)
It's just amazing how time flies~~
soon, I'll be studying for my exams AGAIN!! *horrors*
Sometimes, I just can't help wonder what the real purpose of education is... Cramping everything into 2 13-weeks-semesters per year does not seem to be effective in educating me as an engineer. And I know that my university is not the only tertiary institution in the world doing this, in fact, most universities in the west has such a short school term. Well, you may argue that the quantity and quality of education cannot be correlated, but hey~ IF I have more time to study those books and digest those materials, I can tell you with 60% confidence that I will understand my stuff better. (the left over 40% is for materials like biothermodynamics that is probably NOT meant to be understood....)
When the purpose of studying is to pass those tests and earn a degree at the end of the 4 years, somehow, the true meaning of learning is lost. After all, the information's just gobbled in in BIG chunks and regurgitated in 2 hrs of examination then vomited out into the drain.
Yes... yes... I know all that talk about how schooling is about learning to learn. You may forget about the contents you learnt in school, but you will never forget about the way you studied and how you learnt to learn blah blah blah...
HECK!! can't I just rant about school because I'm DEAD tired??? (I'm a woman you know... I have my rights to pms = =)

There are easier ways to earn a degree...
I mean... what's about all those banners that say "Earn your Bachalor's /Master's Degree in a Year"???!!!
If it's so easy to get a degree, what the hell am I doing???!!!!
...
You have a VERY tired AND unhappy AND stressed up undergrad here who can't help but wonder what the hell is she doing now. = = and... I AM trying to convince myself that all this crap is gonna be worth it. It BETTER BE. period.
