Hmm.......tEmpOrAry LaCk oF fOcUs....

Crap.....I keep getting distracted from doing work. Last week, there was like a promotion on Haagen-Dazs and Ben&Jerry's ice-cream, GBP2 each. I got 2 Haagen-Dazs and 1 Ben&Jerry's. Yes, I'm tamak. I've already pigged on like half of them. DAMN!!! I've got a number of assignments due before Easter break. And after Easter break, more assignments due and FINALS!!. Double DAMNs. Suppose to have Wednesdays off, but I have to go for a lab session for Control Systems. I so don't get it. I just don't get all of the modules I'm taking. I did pretty well last semester. Straight As, which is so totally UNEXPECTED. I was happy when I got my results, but at the same time I felt pressured to maintain it. What's worse is that, I'm not the rajin type. I don't pay attention in class, I procrastinate all the time. For some reason this semester, the assignments and labs seem to be neverending. One module I'm taking this semester is Fluid Mechanics & Mechanical Design. It's fully coursework based, meaning no final exam. Sweet, right? So NOT. More than half of the marks is allocated to the Mechanical Design projects, which we have to design a mechanism to help in the injection of drugs in hospitals. We have to design a product, as in make it look nice and that ppl might actually want to buy it. I find myself as artistically challenged, how the heck am I suppose to design a damn product. Besides that, we have to do calculations based on the specs given. There's another assignment for another module called Dynamics, Instrumentation and Control Systems. The assignment is on car vibration. So don't get it. Oh man, it's at times like these that I wonder why on earth did I take Mechanical Engineering. I don't know much about cars (vehicles) like most of my classmates do, and that just makes me feel even less suitable for this course. Then again my course is more than just fixing cars. I really like this course, even though I don't know what I'm doing most of the time. It's so broad and....well, just interesting. Hey, I'm somewhat a qualified engineer since I've already got my diploma. But, I doubt anyone's ready to hire me yet. I can just imagine the interview session going like
Interviewer: So, what do you think about...blabla...piston...blablabla....reciprocating..blabla...
Me: ??!! ....the piston is the thing that goes up and down and round and round, right?
Interviewer: (O.O) Don't bother waiting for our call.
Oh well...
>>>Over and out...
