The struggle is real! As you may or may not know, my home town is Dunedin! Dunedin is known for its great student culture and the steepest street in the world, Baldwin Street! Well, Engineering Science is a bit of both. What do you mean?? If you thought first year was tough, it only gets…Continue Reading A steep journey into second year
And back into lockdown we go… This semester will be my fourth that COVID19 has impacted, but this one has hurt the most. Not only do we not get to see our lecturers lovely faces in person, we now won’t get to actually build our circuits that we have designed and instead we just look…Continue Reading ELECTENG/COMPSYS 209
Who would’ve thought we’d be starting and ending this year with online learning. To be honest, I don’t know how I would have survived the last week before mid-semester break without the much needed extension for assignments. They don’t call it “hell week” for no reason :’)) With all my assignments and tests done for…Continue Reading software reviews: semester one

Hello, lockdown whatever number we’re up to now! The lack of new social interactions and activities lockdown brings always makes my brain gift me with memories I had thought well and truly blocked. I’m reliving the most awkward conversations I’ve ever had, the worst tutorials I’ve sat through by myself, the weird eye contact I…Continue Reading Sem 1 paper run

Online learning hopefully won’t be a recurring theme in the future,…Continue Reading Here we are again…

We’re hurtling towards midsemester break at an alarming rate. For some, this may be great. For part II electrical/computer systems, it’s absolutely terrifying! It’s not the quantity of due dates for us, but the quality. The most pressing being an interview about our design project thus far. But, I’m not going to think about that for now….Continue Reading Where can electrical take you?
