What??? Gimme a break!!! Next week??? Why so fast!!! 
That’s my first reaction when I read the email from my EE4001 lecturer, before I realized that actually, this week is week 5 and next week is week 6. OMG, I dunno why I am so slacking in starting this semester. For EE4001 alone, I have skipped uncountable number of lecturers, and for tutorial, I only attended 1 out of 3 tutorials, and I skip this week tutorial also by planning that I will join another class which never happens.
Without trying to find an excuse, maybe it is caused by my Industrial Attachment last semester where I did not need to study. Gosh…. it really dulls my mind. Well, actually this happens not only this semester, but also happened in previous semesters. But what makes it worse is that I have decided to take all AU requirements by December this year, which means only 2 semesters left. There are still 46 AU’s for my major + 3 AU’s for my minor; so that I have to take 24/25 AU’s each semester.
How could I’m still slacking down like this??? I am starting to take 4th year subject this semester, 13 Au’s are from final year modules, 6 AU’s from 3rd year modules, and 3 AU’s for my business minor. Other than that, I also have to start doing my final year project with 10 AU’s load divided in two semesters. In this rate, I really have no idea how could I survive this semester….
Well, there is no use complaining it, since it is already registered and nothing I can do about it. By writing this blog I hope that I can find so called "wake up call" to start this semester. As a beginning, let me review subjects that I take this semester…. (Drum roll…..)
EE3001 Electromagnetic
My lecturer said that this subject is a compulsory subject for any electrical engineering student all over the world. That’s the reason why this subject is a much recommended subject-matching for those who are going to do exchange overseas. This subject is a math-based subject, so you will need a very strong mathematic fundamental especially in vector math, to excel in this subject. But again, unfortunately I am not good in it, so nothing much to be expected from this subject 
EE3003 Integrated Electronic
If I have a privilege to exclude one subject and still able to get my bachelor degree, I will definitely choose this subject. I really had an unpleasant experience with analog electronic subject that I took last semester and I have feeling that I will have same experience with this subject. But however, in analog electronic, somehow, I got a good result or even very good result for my standard and maybe somehow, the story will repeat… 
EE4001 Software Engineering
Believe me, I have no intention to skip the lecture. I also don’t have to wake up early to attend lecture since it is on evening session. But the lecture is so boring and I just can’t keep focusing my mind to listen what the lecturer said, and suddenly I am falling to sleep 
From the subject title itself we know what it is about. Simply, it is about how a software engineer designs a software system to fulfill the user requirement. The programming skill only is not enough for software engineer, they also have to understand step by step of designing a software so that it can make it easier to meet the requirement and do it in a systematically way. Quite interesting subject thou, but again, I am not sure that it will really useful, since my programming skill is very limited. The analogy is like you have the map to reach the destination, but you can’t walk, so???
EE4305 Digital Design with HDL
This is one of two design subject that I have to take to earn my degree. Actually, I am quite regretting my decision to take this subject, but I have no choice coz another design subject is clash with other subjects. Even though I was once interested in digital electronic, but after realizing that it can’t stand alone without analog, I decided to give it up and chose Microelectronic instead. This subject is actually a programming subject for digital system simulation using VHDL. Well, there is no harm to learn it thou, but I am just thinking that it will be more useful if I take design elective that is more related to my specialization. Anyway, it is registered already and I just try to make myself not regret it more, by having a good mark for this subject… 
EE4645 Microfabrication Engineering
This is the first technical elective out of four technical elective for my degree requirement. It is the advance subject for previous semiconductor related subject; they are EE2003, Semiconductor Fundamental, and EE3013 Semiconductor Device and Processing. Mainly it discusses semiconductor processing in more detail. Since I did quite well in 2 previous semiconductor-related subjects, I have quite high expectation for this subject. Other than that, this subject is like a core subject for the industry that I plan to work in after graduating. So must do well in this subject…. Gambatte!!! 
EE4646 VLSI Technology
This is the second subject that I choose for technical elective subject. This subject is no way less important than EE4645, even for some point, it is more important, especially for Device Engineer. This subject is like the bridge between IC Designer and Process Engineer. The understanding of this topic is need to translate the circuit diagram created by IC designer to silicon layout, Then, step by step process flow will be defined. After that, the job is for Process Engineer to do the necessary process to create the IC. This subject is definitely more difficult than EE4645 coz so many thing to be considerate when you want to define a process flow. It is something new for me and I am quite interested in it. The only problem is the lecturer. I think he is very smart but somehow not very good in teaching. But now, I have found the way to understand his way of teaching and hopefully it will be transformed in a good mark 
HW310 Professional Communication
As the school think that engineering students are not communicate well, so we need to take three communication skill subjects for the degree. This is the last subject that I have to take and it is the most useful comm-skill subject of all. It will teach us how to make the resume, how to hunt for a job and how to attend job interview properly. I got not very good result for the last two comm-skill subjects, which is expected, considering my poor English communication skill. But hopefully, this one will be better than before…
MB362 Electronic and Mobile Commerce
I was hoping that for my last subject for my business minor, will has fewer projects. I tried to find one that meet the criteria, but I am ended in taking this subject, which has more project that other subjects 
( This subject is quite interesting actually, and I think that I will learn lot of new things from this subject. If you want to know more about this subject, check out http://bm362hamid.blogspot.com/ . We have to create a blog as which will contribute to the final grade, interesting isn’t it? I just hope that I can’t survive with the projects….
Yup that’s all. Actually I still have one more registered subject, which is my FYP. But I don’t want to discuss it here coz it will make me sick….
I really have no idea how to cope these all, but hopefully somehow it will work… Cross your finger everybody!!!!!
If I can exchange everything that I have in life for one thing, that thing will be a “super-great-voice”….
or even Lakisha
this season for example, but actually, something new that come every season which make greater impact, like Bo Bice and Chris Daughtry, last two seasons dynamite with their rock genre. On top of that, I can’t find a beautiful sweet heart lady like Katharine McPhee 
or Carrie Underwood 
Later I realize that I was not absolutely rite (another way to avoid perception that I confess I was wrong 
). Well, actually there were reasons for it. I had a quiz on Monday and I always skipped the lecture, I had a meeting with my FYP supervisor on Wednesday so I need to do some preparation, and Friday was a deadline for submitting an assignment. But again, when I try to remember what I was doing during those very long nights, what come out are: I was watching films and blogs walking. Now, the problem is, since my circadian rhythm has changed, very difficult to put it back to the normal rhythm 
Another reason why I will not be able to sleep next day….
