Let me summarise what happened during the past 14 weeks of my uni life since September 2019. I was in my 5th term or what we usually referred it as semester. I was in my fifth semester whereby i am now a third year senior in my university. I took subjects quite fast, residing the fact where i drop subjects that i think it will ruin my CGPA or my current GPA or i just think i couldn't make it through the semester. 

I planned to take up 19 credit hour for the semester but i ended up withdrawing one of my subjects which is the EPS ( Electrical Power System). I did pretty bad for my midterm. That is why i took it out from my list of subjects so that i can take it back next semester. I want my midterm score to be pleasing for my carry mark. I cannot accept the fact that it will ruin my GPA i just can't. I cannot afford such mistake.  

Basically i took Automatic Control (PCS) and Electromagnetic Theory EMT this semester from the same lecturer. the worst shit just happen. This lecturer that i'm currently having class with is like a very strict kind of guy. He make plans for all the presentations and tests and finals so he is a very organised person. So during our week 7 we are having our 1st midterm test and i did quite well so i expected myself would do better on the second test. and guess what. I've flunked all my test 2 subject papers!! and the worst is yet to come. I'm not going to blame the lecturer /: But this lecturer he gave us 2 assignments for each subject and 2 labs to be done within 3 weeks of lecture. So eventually i have about 9 works pending by that time because he given the task quite late and it is almost test 2 or just around that period. And it has taken a toll on my health and my body. i spend most of my time trying to code and to finish those assignments and lab experiments and lab reports and not to forget about the quizzes oh man. I did not get enough sleep. I have no time to revise for my test 2 subjects. Then i screwed it up. i mean it. 

My period came early by the way. Can you imagine for a second like you're too stressful and your period came 1 month earlier than usual. And i had 2 periods for that month. I'm in pain and I'm feverish. i couldn't talk properly and the funny thing is i suddenly can't do maths during my midterm test2. wow. imagine that!

I'm not kidding, i brain suddenly shut down from all those work i've done. During exam. wow. 

I couldn't do integration and differentiation calculations. I'm good at those. I can even do better for my assignments (fyi , assignment questions are so much harder than my midterm test papers) 

so , in short. I just screwed my test papers. I am so sick of everything. I am so confused like why i even did so badly for my midterm 2 test papers.

Since i am in my fifth semester so i have some thoughts about writing a post on this. Whether you're in a university or not. Feel free to read it. After 5 semesters from this university, i think i learnt nothing. Literally nothing from all my lectures and lab classes. I'm afraid i can't control an optimum value from a multimeter cause it might hold too much voltage on my circuit board. I've burnt so many times i just do what my lecturer says. I really have no idea what have i learn. I only enjoy learning calculations and theories. Because we are trained that way. We are trained to understand theory and everything except for practicals. I'm being real honest here. I hope you are dwelled in this little space of mine. So much integral for this course yet at the end of the day, you have no idea what you have learnt. Okay maybe time management and how to finish your 9 assignments in 6 days.

My point here is, you can't learnt so many things in just 14 weeks. Unless you are totally focus on one. Like how master students do and how PhD students do. They only learn and research about that certain topic for years. That's how you learn. So if you think having a degree is on top of the world. Think that again. You will realised what you have, students from other universities have too. if you think you have 3.9 or 4.0 GPA is awesome. Yeah you are. But you are forgetting there are other students who has better practical experiences and also get 4.0 out there. If you really wanna do engineering. Make sure you get your masters overseas. Not here. Practical experiences and hands on experiences are so much more important than just theories. Really. Most of us can't do practicals. Even i can't do unless i know what is going on. Or i draw the system and test the gain outcome, then i will know what to do with my hardware.
