DONE !
What can I say? I just handed in the last project for the last course that I'm most probably ever going to take in my life. If that's not a huge moment I don't know what is.
And the past few days were, totally crunch time, as it always is at the end of term. I had a 40% project due today, "term" project. As usual, I started working on it yesterday morning, from 8 AM. Before that I had nothing ... absolutely nothing, and I didn't even know what topic I'm going to choose (the course is numerical methods for solving initial value ordinary differential equations).
In any case, but as of 9 pm last night, I had 30 pages, 21 figures, tons of code and many simulation results. Yet again, another project started/finished a day before it was due. Just like last term ... and my friends are still amazed as to how I can always pull it off.
The answer lies in efficiency, mostly. Also, phenomenal searching skills. Deep search is key, and patience, and knowing how to search and what to search for, and again, patience, you can find almost ANYthing on the net, even the most obscure piece of code. And of course, bringing all the fragmented data together, understanding them, and even adding to them also requires some skill.
In any case, besides that I have one of my best friends here visiting me from the states, and some family friends are here from Iran, and ... umm ... things are quite busy.
Oh and summer is here, almost. For the FIRST time in MONTHS, today was actually WARM (like 20 degrees warm) ... so, it's totally refreshing. The sandals are out, pretty girls are coming out of hybernation, skirts, flesh, everything looks prettier ... and ... I'm DONE ... well as far as the courses go anyway ... it's scary to thing that was the last course I'm ever going to take ... and this term was quite a breeze actually, 2 courses, no exams, only homework and projects ... all smoothly taken care of, and mostly collaborative efforts ... the way of a true engineer.
ok then, I'll stop now and I'm going out to do stuff.
