Acquaintances

The Junior Officers presented in front (yay red!)

The night was still young when the program for this year's Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers - CPU Student Chapter Acquaintance Party commenced. Everyone from freshmen up to fifth-year was excited for the program to start, only to find out that the first part will bore everyone in the room - dull guest speakers and unimportant things to be acquainted about. And that only ended until the dinner was served when the real enjoyment of the party started.

Looking Forward

As part of our Civil Engineering curriculum, Elementary and Higher Surveying is a subject we are required to take this year. I'm not making it appear that we're forced to take it, but we're even overwhelmed to have it now. It is our first professional subject taken in our stay in the college, a course we're all anxious about when we were freshmen and sophomores because it appears pleasurable with the then juniors on the field.

I missed the Internet

I missed the Internet.

All the activities I used to enjoy during the vacation are things that I am now looking forward to, since I was drained by my academic stresses in the fast-paced summer classes. I need to recover myself from this exhaustion and I can see that the Internet can do it very well for me.

A new semester is coming soon and my summer subjects will finally be put into end by Saturday of this week. But despite that, there is an idea which terrifies me that we will have our qualifying exam on the next. Pressure is on ours in the next two weeks for we will face significant challenges of our courses. But I believe that we shall conquer them and be able to survive Engineering's wrath, hopefully smoothly.

All that, I should lay down and keep calm about. Although you cannot take away from my face that I've been mentally tired and used by my summer subjects.

I missed the Internet. Forgive my redundancy, but I just missed the Internet so much I had to repeat it over and over again.

Engineers' Brethren

An engineer, or likewise an engineering student, will not survive his craft if he has no calculator in hand. He or she is not capable of solving problems on mathematical applications without ever having computing it in a calculator unless solved by arithmetic sense.

2nd Year - 2nd Term Grades

I finally knew my final grades from my second year - second semester after the long agony of probably having a lower grade than what is hoped, and might eventually lose my scholarship. But all is well; I got two 1.75s from the not yet encoded two in my previous post! Which means I can still enjoy the free tuition privilege given to Valedictorians by the University!

End of Summer Vacation

Summer classes will start next week which means that my vacation is already over until today. So.. what have I done in this year's after-semester vacation?

Summer Enrolment

I took the bus early today for Iloilo to enroll myself in the required summer classes. I haven't got any sleep for the trip since my sleeping pattern has changed in a while.

My goal was to get my grades and to enroll, and go home if both are already accomplished. With that mission in mind, I instantly headed to the school and to the Civil Engineering Department to start the whole process of the enrolment. I was in the office for an hour making myself busy for the encoding of the subjects.
