When I was still young, I never thought that I would be an engineer. In fact, if I made a list ranking every job I know, being an engineer would be the second to the last on my list. Also, ever since Third Year HS, I don’t want to be attached to anything related to Chemistry. I even tweeted,
I could take any course that would get me into a high-paying job. Just not Chem-related. NO. (Jan 21, 2010)
Guess my course. (Hint: It starts with chemical and ends in engineering.)
Anyway… Lately, I’ve been sleep-deprived. Every night after eating dinner, I go into forever alone dormer mode and immerse myself in something that I once feared. Chemical equations, cations and anions, half-life… And although I have other subjects, I still put Chem on top of my list not because I like it the most (if that’s my criteria, then I’d study Socsci 1 all night long), but because…
- I want to understand it fully,
- I can’t catch up with my professor’s rapping, and
- I don’t want to repeat the subject after the semester.
I sleep at 12 am. I wake up at 4:30. I make an effort to understand everything, up to the point that I’d give up my other subjects (especially Math 17). I try not to condemn (is it the correct English translation of isumpa?) Sir E for his rapping skills and hard DGs because he’s an awesome prof (as of now), it’s just the start of the semester, and the Third Year karma might happen again.
To make things short, I’d do anything to pass Chem 16, except kwatro o kwarto. I’ll try to love chemistry. I just hope he (the subject, not the teacher) would also try to love me back.
I need that plus five.
