Not sure if I've talked about this before but recently, met with my secondary school friends to participate in one of my friends' graduation before having dinner with them. Considering that most of secondary school friends are either in University or going to University, we tend to talk about University's stuff.
I've mentioned quite a few times that I am now pursuing a degree in engineering and well... My friends who haven't entered University, will ask the same questions like 'how is it?' 'Is it tough?' 'What do you learn there?' and etc... And if you've asked the past me, I would say tough and that answer doesn't change even until now; after all, all the University courses have their own tough points; there's no easy course.
As for friends who have entered University... There was one friend(+ another who have yet entered) asked if choosing engineering was what I wanted. That one Uni friend who asked, continued saying I was the type who would have chosen an art course than a science course. I don't blame her for thinking that way(since I kept posting my artwork on insta...) and I sometimes ask myself that when some engineering modules are hard to cope.
Tbh, I really wanted to go for an arts course and that want intensified in that 1 year of engineering. I realised that my true passion lies in arts and not science but that is not saying that I've no passion for science; it's just that my passion in arts surpassed science.
However, that's how I feel b'cos I took the science path... If I've chosen arts... Would I have wished to be in the science path instead? That remains a question but there is one thing I'm sure(or you can say 80% sure) that if I've chosen arts course, I may end up hating arts due to the assignments and deadlines to meet.- And that, take away the joy of drawing in my opinion.
Yet again, I think I mentioned before that I'm a type that require inspiration to draw.- If not, I may end up unproductive(which is part of the cause of why [Just A Dream] Re-edit was progressing slowly...) And if I've assignments that I may/may not like and deadlines to meet which take away my freedom, then I may no longer see art as my hobby anymore... That is something I fear the most as I treasure my drawing skills highly; to turn it into something I hate is the worst that could happen...
As to why I took engineering out of all courses besides arts, I would say I love creating stuff. DIY is my fave and when I see interesting DIY, I feel tempted to buy them and do.- It's a challenge to build and most important is the fun in doing DIY! And when I answered, 'b'cos I love creating stuff'', my friend just give me a slight 'eww' face(since she doesn't like such thing, haha)
Right now, I'm having a love & hate relationship with engineering; having fun doing experiments yet at the same time, all those theories to read and exams to do, stress me out; can't wait for year 3 when I will choose my specialisation and finally getting down to 'business' before working on my Final Year Project in year 4. Before I know it, I would have graduated and gonna step into the real working world till this body breaks(just kidding XD)
That's why I feel that one should treasure his/her time while it lasts and also with his/her loved ones- this is one of the reasons why I don't want to stay in dorm.(Another reason is the cost plus other reasons which I don't think I want to start another ramblings on that.)
Had wanted to pen my thoughts down since my meet up with my friends and just today, while working on a wip(will show final work here but get a hint from either my twitter/insta), I can't help rmb the conversion I've with my friends over why I choose engineering.
That's it then, this is Yaiji signing off, ja ne~
