This post is just a rant about my student life, you are not forced to read this, and feel free not to read it.
The holy week is nearly coming, actually, it is tomorrow. It is a tradition celebrated in the Philippines. But even though we have a 1-week break, we still have more projects to do at our school. For example, I can't still go home because we have to take a video for our project on our History subject. It is a short film showing the given topic to our group.
We also have a lot of plates to do with our design subjects:
Building Design
I am still at the architectural plan. I've done the floor plans but still need to work on the other side of the project such as the site development plan, cross-sections, perspective, etc.
I also need to work on the structural plan of this project. The worst is that it should be done in technical drawing and AutoCAD is not allowed. It takes a lot of our time and effort instead of doing other subjects.
Reinforced Concrete
While we are already done with the architectural and structural plan, we are now dealing with the analysis. We are now computing the loads of the structure and frame analysis.
However, we also need to spend a lot of our time in computation due to several frames in our structure. Imagine having 12 different frames and we have to solve for its load per beam.
We also need to deal with the shear and moment diagram per beam and the moment distribution on the frames. Nevertheless, I would say that I am 65% done in this project.
Steel Design
Lastly is this project. I would say that this is the most difficult subject for this whole semester and I am worrying about failing the subject. I haven't gotten a passing grade for every quiz and exam that we've done no matter how I thrive harder in studying.
I focus on the fundamentals and concepts but the questions that are given by our professor is hard to solve. I just hope that I can pass this subject so I can proceed to our OJT and internship.
Overall, this post is just a random rant about our academics. I still need to finish them no matter how many rants I've done. Sometimes, I also think that I should do them instead of complaining, but you know, sometimes, I feel burnt out and I need to rest. Sometimes, I don't feel like doing them anymore because no matter how hard I try, I still fail.
