half the sembreak have passed and i’m still healing from all the stress the semester has given me…

this semester was a big fall for me and anticipating my grades every hour frustrates me… looking at the bright side: i survived… I am sure that I have passed my subjects… yey… anyway here’s a detailed report on my 1st semester this 4th year

The Good:

-IRC probationary member: more experience == extra work..a good trade off..

-I have subjects which involve practical stuff… eee100 and eee54… it develops the skill on hands-on work which is important for us future engineers…

-I appreciate my course more an am excited to be able to do more..

- the scholarship was a big help.. ^_^

The Bad

- very bad… as in totally… bad bad bad choice of GE subject… GE1earth trek, is not worth taking…

- EEE105 is not a fun subject… add a strict professor makes it a hard subject to pass… I read every page of the book but still wasn’t enough…

- EEE53 is an important subject but it was forgotten, ignored, left behind.. now, I have to pay the consequence

- my communications subject, digital and wireless, was okey until the last exams came… I totally blew it…:(

- all the deadlines and exams resulted my disoriented body clock. I sleep 4am and wake up 11.

- dormitory food does not satisfy me… this resulted to frequent orders at Aling Vicky’s, Jollibee, Mcdo, Greenwich, Pizza Hut…

- Alexan trips and midnight orders consumed my money the most. no savings for me..

my grades so far:

eee100 – 1.25

ge1 – 2.75

eee54 – 1.00

There.. i’m still hoping for a miracle to happen (CURVE.) but next semester is a brand new beginning… I will manage it…

I also hope CRS will have pity on me and enlist me to more subjects… I am not enlisted to 3 major subjects… how lucky am I…

I have to post something personal for a change..   My vacation is fast coming to an end. Hopefully i’m fit to go back the dreaded concept of studying. Anyway, a lot of troubles are entering my mind waiting to be thought about. First, my dorm application is a question and i deeply hope i will be accepted for it will greaty affect my study habits. Second, the number of units that i should take for this semester is still unknown. What would weigh more: having a light semester for high possibilty for passing or just finishing early and become underload in my last semesters? (This is what you get taking summer classes every year but can’t finish 4 and a half years.. sigh.. ). I think I need to consult further before deciding. Third, the Wednesday no classes rule have turned into Monday. Is it good or bad? I have no idea! let’s just see in the future.. Fourth, my IRC application is still pending, I’m very excited but at the same time very worried on the mini-project that they will assign to us. I still have no idea what is in store for us. Hopefully I get to learn the microcontroller well ad fast. Lastly, I have only enlisted 11 units so far. I still do not have an ECE elective, ECE 141 and EEE 105. Well, based from experience, a little perspiration during enrolment would serve good. I’m positive I’ll be getting the subjects i will need for this semester but surviving it would be the question. ^_^ so far here’s my schedule:

PS. I’m happy with the professors on some of my subjects. Hopefully, it won’t change.. ^_^

PS PS. I like using the word ‘hopefully’… sigh…
