Leaving the bachelors program
1 month ago
I still want to be an engineer… someday :S.
The truth is I dunno where this leaves me on this goal. I won’t mark it as abandoned but it certainly won’t be completed for quite awhile.
Truth of the matter is it has taken me 18 months (3 uni semesters) to really find out that maths and physics is not the same as engineering. They seem similar and started out pretty much the way it was in school, but the way we’re taught and the learning atmosphere etc is totally different. I’ve always been one to marvel at science and how the world works, but the knowledge we’re taught in engineering is about how to change the existing world and service some need (to quote someone, can’t remember the name: “Scientists discover the world that is, engineers create the world that never was”). I’m more of a scientist after all :). I’m a rather proud person I admit, and leaving this course will rub off as a personal failure, but I suppose I really have to go where my heart is and it really isn’t in engineering right now. The image of hydrogen economy and working with scramjets is still alive, but I’ve learnt now it is more a romantic vision rather than a practical one :S
Bachelor of Science? Physics, Maths…
Bachelor of Arts? History, Political Science, International Relations…
perhaps a dual degree of those two?
Time to see the careers councillor I think!

I want to be an engineer because ever since I was little I have loved to build things, fix things, and make things.

Lovely 2/8 for that midsem exam! Still recovering from the freight train hit, going to find out what went wrong tomorrow :S.
Maths is by far the best subject so far… I’m thinking perhaps I should just become a mathematician lol.

I got an A in Pre-Calc and a B+ (pissed!) in Construction Management and Methods.
Next semester is Calculus I and Engineering Economics.

grasping onto anything

So I went B&N today and bought some sparknotes for my last 2 reading assignments: The Tempest by Shakespeare and Paradise Lost (loud dramatic scream) by John Milton. Not to concerned about the shakespeare assignment. But Paradise Lost… can’t I just draft a layout of heaven and hell… or write a program. It’s odd but when I was in highschool I was a much better …”word person”. I still love to read and I speak English okay. But my grammar has become horrible. With every passing year of writing abstracts and lab reports it actually gets worse and worse. In my engineering classes it just wasn’t a problem and now I’m used to it. I’ve gotten so engineer-ified.

One more day of class for this semester
6 months ago
As the topic suggests, there is only one more day of class for this semester. I have already taken (and gotten an A on) my pre-calculus final.
I still have to write a paper and take my final for Construction class, but I have about a 90 average so far in that class.
I am registered for Spring classes (starts late January) and I’m taking Calculus I and Engineering Economics – should prove interesting.

Gotten so frustrated
6 months ago
I’m really considering volunteering for a year. I have had a lot of issues in my department and job-searching, stupid things. And I think I better go out and create some good in the world before I do something I regret. For the first time in my whole life I think I don’t want to be an engineer. But I think it’s just that I’m disheartened.
