My Uni Education Has Ended

What? No fanfare, party poppers or thrown confetti? Hard to believe that just a few hours before the end of my final lecture I was still slogging over a final piece of coursework till 6am in the morning. And yesterday went something like this:

10am- Hmmmm... last piece of course work to finish :) Yay~~

10:30am- Breakfast!! Fruit n Fibre yum. *turns on anime*

12:30pm- GAH! Work!!!

3:30pm- Whew... last question left. Making good time. *beams*

3:45pm- Chicken Curry Noodles for lunch.

4:30pm - Last dash and I'm all done! *work work*

6:30pm - *work work??*

7:30pm - Ahhhhhh... Going round in circles and can't solve for a final unknown in the stupid edge front cracked question with symbols that are undefined and unreal......

8:30pm - Ok, not getting anywhere even after checking, double checking and re-rechecking workings...start again from the top.

9:00pm - *Sudden inspiration* Maybe I can tackle it from a different angle if I do a 2nd differential and incorporate the cyclic loading into the stress fatigue of the mild steel. Yah! *renewed gusto*

10:30pm - RAH!!!!!!!!! Stu..pid... wasdawdwasdawdaslkdjlkajsdlakwjd;alskjd;alkwjd;slakdj... GRAH. Ended up with a different unsolvable unknown instead. Can't do a simultaneous equation with previous unknown as that element is not present in this method after differentiating. *twirls pen in comatose silence and begins process of turning into stone*

11:00pm - Revives self and goes out for a walk to take in fresh air and makan.

00:00am - Throws lecture's notes aside and starts educating self on industrial standards and methods in analysing metal strength/integrity/stress intensity factor/life cycle.

4:00am - Attains mini-degree and becomes chartered Life Cycle Engineer

6:00am - FINISHES LAST SAID QUESTION!!!!!


Conclusion? I could have skipped all the lectures and just taught myself the module to take the exams in... 4 hours of intense work. GRRR...


11:12hrs 09/05/2008 marks the end of a long windy road that I sometimes thought I would never complete. Now after finishing the 5 papers that somehow serve to be the crystallisation of the knowledge gleamed, I'll be applying myself to the test of the real world.
