Life in Reality

It has been a little more than a week since I posted anything. Life goes on as usual for me however the contents within it has changed tremendously. Only just 3 weeks ago I was enjoying a great holiday that was due for over a year and now all that looks displaced in a distant memory. First there was the start of my last semester in Singapore Polytechnic which turned out to be the most challenging ever, then came the assignments and finally the icing on the cake, Final Year Project.



For my menu of disasters, first the entree- the modules. Nothing surprising, instead nothing inspiring. Firstly let me do the derivation of my course- Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering. Sounds fun eh, nope nothing further from it that the reality. Then came with it the modules that suck big time. Human Factors, have you ever heard of such module? A module that teaches about human nature and the environment. Its already boring enough with its contents and it gets worse when a sick lecturer is stirred into this concoction of shit. Here are the breakdown of what such sick person expects of a common sense module.

Human Factors
-Debate+Formal Report of 1500 words
-Answering questions with no correct answer(ambiguous)
-Exam
And finally, only 1 % of the students get A
Officially this guy needs the mental ward in the hospital.

Then there is another module that complements the above- Aero Materials
-Assignment=build something after intense research and write a 5000 word report on it
-Test and examination that is designed to fail every student.

Not forgetting another 5 modules to be added to this.
What have my fellow Aero Engineering friends and I done to deserve such treatment!!!
Well as I said this is the reality to be embraced, and what a harsh reality it is.
