Aeronautics Year 2 Concluded

Have you ever wondered how much you can do in one year? How many things you can achieve? How much you can handle in 12 months, doing so many things unrelated to studies and at the end of the year, have to try to catch up, feeling the panic when you don't understand the topic with the exams just 3 weeks before the particular paper.

This year, i think i have probably found my limit. So many things, both academic and extra curricular, i think i may have overloaded myself. Even though i can say with absolute certainty that i have gained so much more knowledge in the field of aeronautics and with regards to my own ability, i am feeling totally exhausted.

I have the feeling that I have had before. The feeling that i have put in everything i've got, perhaps more, and while it has been a great and eventful year, i don't want to go through it again.

I don't know how I will do this year, I really don't. I just know that i messed up some papers, and the one i messed up most was the one that everyone said was really easy. That was disappointing. But i have tried my best.

Just handed in the last courseworks due in for this year. A lab report, and a log book, for the design of my wind turbine. Perhaps i will talk more about it next time.

Will be leaving for Germany tonight. Leaving for the airport in about one hour. Really lacking sleep and that is why my sentences are quite incoherent again. Will be there for 10 days, soaking up the World Cup atmosphere. Hopefully, i will find some relaxation in this holiday. I need it.

Meanwhile, take care, see you soon.

two.

This time, it means two more papers to go.

my exams end just when world cup begins.

i like.

but before that, no thinking about such nonsense. feeling very tired now. somehow very drained.

It feels like SOC after the high ramp. When you have cleared most of the obstacles, but still some distance to the finishing line. When you land feeling so tired, so breathless, but somehow from within will come a strength that makes you focus on just putting one foot in front of the other. Something beyond physical.

Limbering up for the final sprint. Come on. I can do better than this.
