It's almost been a month here at Purdue, and I'd like to highlight some points of my study table:
1. It's highly messed up. I don't have time to clean it out.
2. Around 15-20 stick-on's are hung up right at front of me, reminding me and scaring me of all that I have to do, every week.
3. There's a periodic table on my pin-up board, making sure that I'll hate chemistry all my life.
I feel like this homework is never going to end. One thing is done, and then you smile and look at your roommate who's doing another homework that you completely forgot about. How cool is that, this is exactly what I wanted for college.
I never knew that engineering would be this tough and unending. It's like.. I came with a dream of aerospace here, and now all I do is sit at my study table. Oh, I wish I had time to go see the fascinating labs they have in for me for my future studies. I guess everything comes with a price, and engineering is not a piece of cake. This week has been terrible, especially when I lost my wallet while running to the Brown laboratory for my lab period. Everything went at one go.. my ID card, my debit card, my room key, my star bucks card ( now that hurts me a lot) and my insurance card. Somewhere in my mind I'm waiting for an angel to come up and return that wallet back before I apply for all of it again. Somebody save me.

Nice description of your desk:) I have a desk at home, a desk in my Hevilon office, and one in my Young Hall office, and yet I do most of my work at the kitchen table. Why? Because they're all so messy, and with so many post-it notes! No periodic table though, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I hope you find your wallet! Have you contacted your bank to tell them your debit card is missing?
@Veronica : I found my wallet! :) I left it in the city bus when they send me an email informing me about it. And the very same day I got my debit card deactivated. so I'm good..
ReplyDeleteOh and you're so lucky you don't have a periodic table to keep on your study table, it's the last subject that one should study! :)
Hahahaha, straight up! But, I feel like now that we've gone through a couple of weeks, and had our first rounds of tests/projects, the 'overwhelming nature' of the engineering workload is getting quite a bit more manageable - ex: I now know that once thursday night rolls around, by the time I finish off the 131 homework, we're home free for 3 days!
ReplyDeleteAnd, that stinks about having lost your wallet & room key! Jheese louise, I lost my room key a few times before picking up a lanyard, and it was no fun (plus, my dorm didn't have any spares of the key for my room), but loosing ur wallet is the WORST!

@Patrick : I know right :/ But I found my wallet, it's all good and I'll be extremely careful the next time :)
ReplyDeleteAnd haha, yes I love weekends too..makes me feel home again..
@ Patrick, I think this is the first time I've ever seen the exclamation "Jheese louise" in writing. I've learned something new today!
