// Friday Blues //

I can't take it anymore.
I seriously need to rant!

Today's lectures were horrible and tormenting.
As usual, I couldn't catch anything during the 3002 lecture.
Save me from p-n junctions!!
It's bringing back the nightmares of 2008, which i thought was supposed to be OVER.
Now this module 3002 is an extended version of 2008.
Seriously i couldn't care less how electrons move.
It's sooo confusing.

After the 3002 lecture, straightaway we had 3003, which was equally bad, if not even worse.
argh!
Though the guest lecturer (for three freaking weeks!!) is a local, and throughout the lecture, I was fully aware that he spoke English, I still can't understand him, mainly due to those highly technical terms he use.
Please ask him go for effective communication class.
And he must have gotten an A+ in technical communication.
Apparently he graduated from mse some years ago.
Anyway, during the lecture he was either reading the slides (which was choked full of words) or coining 'chimerlogy' terms which most of us have never hear before.
The irritating thing was that he did not give any explanation of those terms.
Hence I was practiclally counting down the seconds for most of the 2 hours.
Kudos to the lecturer for making the seemingly easy topic of corrosion into something so difficult to understand.

Okay, enough of ranting.

Up till now, my experience is that: Engineering is really not an easy course.
Year 1: Condensed the whole 2 year JC education as revision
Year 2: Delve deeper into manufacturing process and material properties.
Year 3: Delve even deeper into the above two aspects + practicality aspect, not to mention that it is like condensing the whole of what we learnt in year 2 into 1 semester (another semester is compulsory industrial attachment)
Year 4: Looks to be specialisation

Year 3 is not gonna be easy.
p-n junctions, design project, chim corrosion stuff, qualitative analysis...etc.
I'm super stressed out.
And I'm going to drop that tourism module.
