I don't remember much from freshmen year but the little I do remember can't be described as my fondest memories. I can never forget the hours I spent in the school dungeon with my glutes glued to a blue plastic chair and my eyes fixed on the background of the program's home screen Nor can I forget the four hour long brain freezes that occurred afterwards as my body attempted to recover from excessive neuron transmission. The stuff of nightmares known affectionately by professionals as Solidworks, became my biggest hurdle during the fall semester of freshmen year. Even though it was difficult, I consoled myself through mental pep-talk of the educational kind, convincing myself that every minute spent in mental duress would undoubtedly repay itself at least ten fold in the form of mental acuity. Although I have yet to realize the impact of Solidworks improved brain cognition, I can say that the pep-talk got me through eighteen weeks of torture. Unfortunately, things didn't all go exactly as planned.
Backtrack three years, I though the end of freshman year would also mean the end of having to do a design or engineering based assignment at least for the rest of high school. Boy was I wrong. I have one word for you: Scratch. But as the old adage goes, when life throws you lemons, make lemonade or die by lemons. Things haven't changed much since freshmen year. Scratch is almost just as bad as Solidworks but isn't it funny that I give myself the same mental pep-talk even three years later? It's been a long week and the future doesn't seem any less challenging. Regardless, there's not much use in complaining. Now to think of some way to circumvent future bouts of brain deadness like the three-hour-long one i experienced today after finally turning in my quiz lab.....
