So... 2 weeks have passed since semester started. I have to be honest the heat is up! I registered for 4 courses + dissertation this semester and it's already causing me insomnia. Anyway, before I start venting to you about what's causing me to count sheeps to sleep, let me summarize (briefly) the past 2 weeks.
Monday's class was okay. We have a new lecturer in store. Dr F. A young, fresh, new face to the team of grand professors. The subject is "Highway Design" where we would be learning how to geometrically design roads. By geometrically, I mean the crazy horizontal and vertical alignment noone ever cared about. So far it has been 1 class, with a group assignment. Can't comment much yet about this subject so we'll see how tomorrow goes.
Tuesday's class is a repetition of the crazy semester last year was. Remember when i said Pavement Materials was the most stressful course? Well, dejavu. This course, Pavement Analysis and Design doesn't seem to appear any different. Already the class feels too long, and scary. My fingers know the pain best as it tries to catch up with the speed of the lecture. Oh the pressure!
Wednesday's class is a bit relaxful. At least for now. Taught by Dr L, it feels familiar, laid back and interesting. The course is called Advanced Transport Engineering, so I have a feeling something calculusly is on the way to confuse the brains. *shudders*
Thursday's class. Well. I have to carefully pick my words to make sure my feelings about this course is not misinterpreted. The subject is called highway capacity so it's about how certain expressways or highways are capable of handling the crazy volumes of traffic. I gotta love the course as my forte is traffic but the lectures are not making it easy. Handled by traffic genius Dr H, it appears to be interesting. What's missing is Prof R's humor.
So four days of classes, four different lecturers. Masters ain't for the weak, I tell ya.
