End of exams!

Woha, I can't believe I haven't posted here for a while... guess I had better outlets to air my frustration in the past year or so.

So I have just finished my exams for my 2nd professional year (3rd year in engineering).... gosh that was a crazy year. The busiest year of my academic career so far, and reportedly the busiest in our degree so its good to have it over with. Now its summer and I am supposedly in my summer break......

I reckon it has been a good year academically for me. I managed to score full marks in two exams in the first semester and even got a signed copy of the Thermodynamics book by the visiting professor. I am not sure how often I am going to use the book though Thermodynamics will not be offered next year, unfortunately... I quite fancied myself to be a "thermodynamisist" or whatever you call it.

What else, hmm it was funny how we always had a rant whenever we got a new assignment. I think this especially applied to me as I would always envision it as a hard assignment and make things hard for myself... I really could use an improvement in that area.

Fitness wise this year has been the worse ever for me, I gained about 4 kgs and I look about 10 kgs fatter. I have completely got out of shape and I required alot of work in the gym to get back into it...

Speaking of my summer break, I only had the weekend off and I started my summer work which is doing research in the department. The topic is very interesting but I am still trying to adjust to the fact I am going to have to work just as hard as normal uni days :(

Either way, I will be really looking forward to going back to Oman by mid December....

So things to cross out by the end of summer:
1) Get Fit, start back with weights and running 3-4 times a week on top of playing squash 2-3 times a week.
2) Achieve something with the research project and hopefully write a decent article that can be published.
3) Learn more about heat exchangers, I believe I am really weak at those bloody things and could really use some reading.

Alriiighhhht.
