It was around 11AM in the morning,I was in an almost practical class and I had just found the perfect topic or concept to base my post on. Unfortunately,I was asked a question by the instructor and I answered it wrongly because of an inaccurate reading of my measuring tape. I was bumped as to how I'd made such mistake and not thought intensively before answering. Then,I forgot the topic.
And today was also another bad day in school as my Engineering drawing lecturer gave us a test.
*Coming to think of it,there aren't really any good days in this engineering faculty I am in? If it's not you getting exhausted from the day's lectures, it's a lecturer coming to completely traumatize your life by a single statement or random action and then, you're like 'okay'.
And then,there are some days,I just sit back and question myself if this is really worth it? Shouldn't I just take a step back and go for easy or something? Easy's good some times, I'd tell myself. A lot of people should've probably gotten it easy too cause I refuse to believe it's entirely hard work that takes a person so far sometimes. I believe grace also plays a major role and believe it or not,I believe there's a God and I don't know about you but I know I for don die since if not for God馃槀馃槶.
I don't know what this post is based on to be honest. I'm just going with whatever my mind tells me to type, I'm just going with the flow. I know engineering isn't the only difficult major and there are a whole lot of majors that are difficult also and I shouldn't be complaining. Thing is, I'm not really complaining. I'm just speaking my feelings about everything out cause I believe if I keep harvesting them within me,I might explode and I would prefer not to do that in front of a lecturer please. I still value my stay in this school.
Engineering is a very exhausting course and I would give this advice to anyone that's studying it as I wasn't given one when I was registering for this course. Man,if you can't handle a lot of unnecessary stress,if your depression is way over the top and can lead you to unalive yourself,if you haven't learnt or you don't know how to deal with mentally and psychologically plus physically draining things yet,DO NOT!
Now,you might be really really smart but that only takes you so far in this major. In Engineering,it doesn't entirely deal with your ability to solve questions easily or the level of your intelligence. We think here! Like my teacher from high school would say. There's street smart and there's school smart. School smart's when a person's really really intelligent and very brilliant and street smart is when someone is very very smart,the person has sense!
I know people who are so smart when it comes to education but dumb as hell outside it. Engineering requires the two. For you to be smart when it comes to education and outside it.
And now, finally. Don't you think life's a mess sometimes? We get we live unfair lives sometimes but we should be grateful cause where we are at right now,the position we're at right now is what someone else is probably praying for,praying to be in. At one point, life's terrible and at another, it's also terrible. There's no in between,only glimpses of pleasure, happiness,joy and the rest!
Please do not take what I said above to heart,life is extremely beautiful. It all depends on how you want your life to be,how you're going to act so it can play out nicely to your taste. You need to act before something can happen,be it good or bad.
