Been away too long from this blog I think fungus is starting to grow in the free space.

Today is the 4th out of 5th day in my second module for my masters. It is a long way of saying one more day of hell. I put out of office in my email and people keep telling me “enjoy your training”.. enjoy? I never worked so hard even at work. Start class at 9.30am and finish around 8 for the past 2 days. The first 2 days was great, start class at 9.30am and finish by 6pm. Then.. we moved into 5th gear because I think the lecturer thinks we are good already. Today’s assignment.. is totally impossible. out of 4 question, I only finished 2 till 8pm just now. Will continue early tomorrow morning with the other 2 questions.

I am taking the class as part of the MSc but the class is also open to “single module” students. They take just this module and receive a certificate of attendance. These people, they are grumbling all over. I can hear the resentment. The assignments are not easy and they are here because they were sent by the company.. all paid for. Normally people associate training as “free time” something to enjoy. Not this one. They worked so late, they even brought the work home and finish it for submission the night itself.

I pity them. I know what I signed up for and I am prepared to grab the bull by its horn no matter what it takes. These people, they will probably not come for classes like this anymore because it is not a walk in the park and I can see that they are struggling. Well even for me, who supposedly do what I am taught on a day to day basis, find it hard to get all the question right. what about these other people who are not doing embedded programing.

Well.. that is the story of my life for now.

Just need to be strong. One more day and I think the lecturer is not pulling any stops. It is just going to climax tomorrow. luckily we have free coffee the whole day.
