I promise there's a completely valid reason for not blogging in so long, because what with the relatively new layout and paid account, I mean wot pfft who pays for a blog..yehh.. I really should have been blogging more. My excuse isn't actually all that interesting, although trust me when I say that I wish I really was off in Egypt discovering ( Read more... )

Drawing from the past three and a bit years of my time at university, I've realised that the engineering faculty spends a surprisingly large amount of time teaching us how not to build things. Seriously, I've watched more than my fair share of dams failing and buildings collapsing. This is one of my personal favourites, mostly because you just know ( Read more... )

The fourth year of my engineering course is proving to be most helpful. This year I've learnt that forging signatures is a most useful skill and that you should never be deterred by a barbed wire fence, as there's always a way over or under. I really can't talk about the former incident, as I would actually get into serious trouble, however I'm ( Read more... )

Was assembling IKEA furniture today when I found I needed a hammer. Since it would have taken me three minutes to find the hammer, which would've been three minutes too long, I found that my Steve Madden pumps did just the trick. In fact, they're easier to use than conventional hammers! I applaud myself for not only being a true engineer, but also ( Read more... )

THE DAY OF RECKONING.

Actually, I'm so tired right now that I almost smacked my head on the table when I closed my eyes before. However, if I don't blog about this now, I'm quite sure that sheer laziness will take over tomorrow and it will become yet another dot point on the To-Do-List. The reason for my sleep deprivation is due to a mix of ( Read more... )

Next Monday, 23rd of November, at exactly 11:59am will be the moment I consider throwing myself down a flight of stairs.

My conference talk has been confirmed. There's no possible way I can get out of this without looking like a pussy. I've just received a confirmation email about my attendence and my name has appeared on the website. Holy fuck. ( Read more... )

Just got a call from my Head of Environmental Engineering saying that my group members and I have been invited to speak at the Society for Sustainability and Environmental Engineering Conference next week, regarding our research project. They'd prefer if only one of us went so I'm beginning to wonder who's going to draw the short straw. I'm ( Read more... )

In my lecture notes:
The simplest state of molar diffussion is equimolar counterdiffusion..

First thing that comes into my head:
Fail. I'm going to fail.

It's been three months since I stepped out of my Thermodynamics exam, thinking I'd never have to revisit the subject again. However, by some stroke of luck, I now find myself perusing the pages of my Thermodynamics text book. I'm finding it hard to believe that this subject has actually become useful.
