Bulacan at last! - Farewell to the UP College of Engineering ES Department

Yeap I am here and it surprises me that I am actually looking for stuff to do (and i thought this was going to be a rest day). Tomorrow will be another attempt to become a physicist by answering theoretical problems in my Engineering Sciences Course.

Anyway, I just remembered (after being so preoccupied by the many problems to solve) that the ES Department will be dissolved in favor of the localization of Engineering Science Courses to Departments of Civil Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, et cetera.

The ES Department is probably one of the scariest rooms in Melchor Hall being that it houses all the super intelligent, physics-immersed individuals of UP (the professors themselves); and one would feel the fear of entering as if there's an IQ meter at the door that displays your rating and then there'd be an automated function that the door will shut close for those students who fail to reach the IQ quota. But then, it still is a sad thing that the room will be converted to something else (that I don't know for now, but will try to know in the coming days). I have seen Melchor hall for many years with that department right at the heart of the lobby of the 3rd floor and it really is going to be a big change if the administrators of the UP College of Engineering dissolve a department like this.

With barely 2 months of intense study, I have already grown to appreciate Engineering Sciences, thanks to our dear professor who gave us everything we needed: competent syllabus and references, hard problem sets and exams, tips and advices on what we can do to improve our study habits and the most important of all he taught us to be excellent in everything we do-to never let mediocrity be a part of our vocabulary. I myself am hungry for more knowledge now. I think this course really changed me a lot. Well, actually all of my summer classes taught me something important I may make use in trying to finish my thesis this coming two semesters. Street Dance taught me that if you really put in your heart something you wish to invest on (skills), you will eventually succeed in it. Nat. Sci. I taught me to loosen up a bit every now and then and just let the information get into me without a lot of questions and doubts. ES taught me to respect other professions and it developed in me the yearning to be at par with those other professions.

8 units for the whole summer was a lot of work but I have to say that it was all worth it. Lessons truthfully learned..
