Final Thoughts Of A 3rd Semester That Was

So, finally the semester break’s coming to an end, and I guess my final year has arrived. It’s not going to be the same, with all this projects and pointless training, and I hate it, I really, really hate it.

I already miss the past semester which was certainly one of the best I’ve had, since like 3 years ago. It was a little unexpected, and I was surprise how it turned out, at least during the beginning of it.

There was this Eng&Soc subject that I almost didn’t take, and the group project with LF. It was just a simple group project, I don’t know why but it felt like the best thing that happened during that semester. Well, my life isn’t exactly filled with fire works anyway, but still… I guess, being able to work in a group with her, and it gives a reason to talk to her often online, that’s probably why it meant a lot to me, more than she’ll ever know when she offered me to join her group.

Well, so much that I really wanted to do a good job being a member with her group, and boy did I mess that up. Questions that was disapproved by the ever judgmental lecturer, passed up the report a day earlier and got my entire team into a presentation, in which, I was the worse presenter. The most hideous, ludicrous, misguided presenter, if that award existed, goes to me that day. She was certainly the most charming presenter of the day, and I can’t even be 25% of that in a presentation that I got the entire group into.

Anyway, the rest part of last semester was just fine, though nothing new. Some hit and miss with luck, but I’ve got be very thankful that I was able to clear all subjects that I took. There was some guys from my batch who shares the same fate like me, and it was good, to actually have a few people that you know. Not to mention about the last minute assignment copying tradition. Though Control Theory assignment was one of those rare things that I can be proud of, I guess.

One of the things that I’d probably miss is attending classes, just sitting at the back, observing the class or day dream or anything except for listening to the lectures.

This certainly isn’t all that was, but it’s as much as I can word it down here at the moment. I wish that semester never ended, there’ll never be another one like this. Come next semester, there is no Comm 2 subject, there’s no Eng&Soc subject, there’s no assignment. There’s just me, the delusional C class student who’s struggling with his studies from A-Z, make that twice the magnitude for the final year project.

I guess I’ll really miss all of that. And especially being in the same 2 subject Comm 2 and Eng&Soc with her, LF, and everything that came with it. Just like how it was when I took those repeated or delayed subjects, Electronics 3, EM Theory, Data Comm, Control Theory first attempt, and Maths 4. Boy was I glad I failed and delayed those subjects. Heh.

I’m crazy, and probably delusional. Very delusional. But one thing I’m very certain of is what I feel, and it was worth every bits of it.

And there’s this little naive part of me that rejects harsh reality and wished I could have kept those good things up after last semester.
