Uni life Round 4

Well, start of my fourth semester in uni isn't what I expected. After hell from last semester (Thanks to Warman and Manufacturing and many other factors), I would expect this semester to be a walk in the park for me. On the contrary, I find myself in a bad position right now, although still better than last semester.

First of all, I have a second "Warman" unit, Mechatronics Systems (MS). In this unit, I need to do research on a project, and use some dodgy software that they provide us to build a model that detects a lane and follows it. Sigh.. Warman round two much!

Second of all, DS isn't what I expected. Sure, Andu and John(who unluckily failed by 2 marks last year) say it is hard. But that is just because they miss all those lectures right? Wrong! Well, I find the lectures very boring and I usually just doodle in the class. The only way I am still catching up with the lectures is because those stuff I learnt before.. LOL! Hopefully I can follow the progress.

Software Engineering(SE) is either really useful or useless. The new software that we are supposed to use, Eclipse, is a bit fun to use, but I much preferred BlueJ. Maybe it is just Ross Lecture Theatre's problem, cause I find the lecture really really boring. Sigh...

Mechanical Dynamics is a really fun, but hard, unit to do. The lecturer last year, Brian Stone is back! WooHoo! He is just funny, and is a really good lecturer. At least I understand what he says. HAHA! But the downside is those jellyfish questions that are due every week. Sigh! Oh welz, you can't hope for everything to go your way. LOL.

How's everyone doing? Hope ya'll are doing well!

Regards.
