UNSW Engineering Day

My day today was awesome. No doubt about that. And for once I'm blogging about something that no one else has on their blog which is nice because it hasn't been original for a while now, with everyone talk about the same topics, the same funny moments and the same everything. So, no more blabbing about nonsense, here's how my day went.

I had to wake up early right because I had to catch an early bus to make the early train to make the time we had to arrive at the University. At the station I caught a train right and made a last minute decision to get off at Blacktown and I thought that was a big mistake because I got lost and I had no clue where I was. Luckily later(like 5-10 minutes later) I see Sumeet, Bahroze and his sister and I was saved from being lost. And so we went our ways (basically, his sister caught a different train) and we sat there in the train. The train ride was long, had silent moments, which would then be filled with good funny moments. Like how I was going on about something totally cut, then they asked me again and I forgot, and I'm not gonna say the rest because I sounded so stupid. We got to Parra and saw Devesh and Siddarth there. That's when the train to the city came and so we were on the start of our great journey.

Arriving at Central, there were people everywhere and it was so easy to get lost. Not that I would get lost because I'm pro at navigation. So we went to the bus station across the road and went to the Uni, which was about a 20 minute ride. Unbelievable. At the Uni, Oh MY EFFING GOSH! It was humongous and you had to walk so far and there were so many stairs. That's when I noticed that there were no fat people there. Probably because of all the walking they had to do. We got to the main building and that's where we had to get registered and we all got name tags, but my name didn't have a capital letter which kinda disappointed me but it's only a tag that EVERYONE will read. That's when we also got our own itenerary for the day and I found out that I was with Sumeet for 2/3 of the things and the first one we were both lonered, kinda. So there was an introduction at the beginning (of course) and then we got separated into our first session.

First session: Electrical Engineering & Telecommunications
Being alone, I thought that this would be a good opportunity to clear my mind and let it wander as I was in the thing by myself. I actually found it quite fascinating and I was interested in it. There were little groups in the thing were we had to go around each thing and see the displays they had. There was a satellite they were making, measuring gravity using sound, ananoneonmeter (haha, i totally forgot what it's called), a robotic segway, and a human controlled segway (which i totally did NOT get a turn on, so unfair) but it was really good. Got me interested, that's for sure. And not bored.

Recess: Yummy
When the first session concluded, we went back outside the main building where we had been before. As I approached it, I saw MUFFINS. And the only reason I saw it was because it was bigger than my hand and man it tasted good. Not as good as the cakes I make but still good. I also got this drink and the water bottle was shaped so cool-ly. HAHAH.

Session 2: Petrolium Engineering
Ok, that may sound so boring but during the talk thing there was points where it did. But being a petrolium engineer pays. Or as the teacher said You need big pockets. He also said that our previous Prime Minister went to California to see the Terminator. AHHAA. He was a funny old man. But yeah being a PE is good and I think it might be a future option in my career. Oh and Sumeet and Devesh. Immature. Starts laughing cause one guy's name is Mohammed and the other guy full has a Kiwi accent. And I just shake my head at both of them. This was also where I found out Devesh's true sexuality...gay.

Lunch: There's AWESOME FOOD waiting.
When I heard that it made me all happy which made Sumeet and Devesh laugh which made me grumpy at them. But at least the energy I had from being happy helped me get up all the stairs. Talk about a big school. Like I said. No one there is fat. Anyways. Back at the main building again, I saw food but what a let down man. I thought there was gonna be awesome food. Well there wasn't. It was just a plain BBQ which was too plain for me. It didn't have enough variety. But one can't complain. AHHAA. I got another water bottle. But i finished it so I chucked it away. OMG, the guys during lunch continued making fun of me. I don't see the need for them to do that but like, they're so mean. I made up words for them. Weirdarded (weird + retard) gaynie (gay + meanie ) yeah.

Third & Final Session: Computer Engineering
This was a pretty good session because we got to see robots in action. Man, that Uni is heaps good. They've won so many trophies around the world and everything. It just makes me want to go there to school there etc. But it's really fun. Like it was funny because one of the robots started kicking the goal posts because it thought it was the ball (only because it was looing for the colour orange and the posts looked orange because of the poor lighting). After the session we got free pens right, that were meant to have LED lights which worked but I got a fail one, but at least it can still right because the ink works. (the guy said it was because they came from china and that's why they're like that).

This was the end of the day and we had to go back to the main building and we got a bag with a pen and a booklet. (Woo another free pen) We also had to fill in this survey and like it's all good. On the bus me and sumeet were looking at where the security cameras were placed on the bus and everytime it was on the one I was on it, I would look at the screen and wave at it. I also said somehting but yeah.

We missed the train. Basically it was because we were late. What other reason could it be? That's when we decided to just eat food then catch a later train. And so we did. (My hands are so tired and I'm so tired. Like seriously) And yeah. We had to catch a limited stops one so then I got lonered on the train early but oh well. Soon I got home.

* Must not forget: there were white guys too but we didn't really talk to them much because they were doing different things and because they racists. HAHA, nah, they good. Another thing, Sumeet is stuck with writing a report about our day now because he volunteered because no one else would do it. And so, I thought he would have done it by now but I guess not so I couldn't use that to put up instead which is such a shame.

So overall my day was heaps good. Way better than being at school and being stuck in class doing work and stuck with everyone and eating low class food. At the uni, there was like a whole 50+ people in a group all drinking beer and I was just amazed. DAYUM !

happy (y)



bye.


p.s. i'll try to get a picture of bahroze.
