We’re in lockdown. Again. Back to 3am bedtimes and 12pm wake-ups. Back to having an endless amount of time, to do… absolutely nothing. Speaking of doing nothing, to procrastinate for my test in 2 days I thought I’d finally get to writing the next highly-anticipated instalment of my blogs. As promised, here’s a run-down of…Continue Reading Have a Break, Have a Kit-Kat: A Reflection on Semester 1
Welcome back to the Blogosphere! In this blog post, I’m going to give you some of my initial thoughts on this semester’s courses. For Computer Systems students, this includes three electives: ELECTENG 204, SOFTENG 283 and SOFTENG 284. I chose ELECTENG 204 as my elective, but don’t worry, I’ve brought a friend who can tell…Continue Reading Computer Systems Semester 0b10
Hey guys, welcome back! And just like that we’re into lockdown 2.0. Lucky for you that hopefully means I’ll be a bit more active on here the next few weeks. Thought for this one I’d give you a rundown on all the details of the papers from sem 1 with a few tips and tricks…Continue Reading CHEMMAT Course Compendium (Sem 1)
Greetings! Seeing the mid-sem test season’s about to begin, why not read a couple blog posts? Might make a good break in between your studies 🙃. Now, I know my first post is a bit… unconventional, so it’s fitting to do a follow up here. This time, less narration, more opinions. Firstly, a proper introduction…Continue Reading A Reasonable Approximation of Mech
This post follows on from the last – a retrospective look at the rest of Semester 1. Life as a student gives you a lot of freedom, but sometimes it can swallow up your time, like a tea towel into a vacuum cleaner. After the second weekend in a row spent on structural…Continue Reading Sem 1 – Part II

Hey everyone! I’m Jess, the Software Engineering student blogger for 2021, quickly typing up this blog post in the midst of all the assignments. While I do question in these moments why I chose software, I thought I’d share a short overview of how I got here in the first place! An introduction… Fresh…Continue Reading Software yay!
I love sleeping in. Especially in winter, snuggled up under numerous blankets and duvets in your softest pyjamas listening to the rain and wind attack the windows, knowing it can’t reach your warm haven. Despairingly, this semester does not allow for sleep-ins. While last semester the earliest start was two 11ams a week and then…Continue Reading Musings on Monday 8ams and Medsci mornings
The night is dark and full of terrors. Wind howled in the night sky, trees battered against moonlit windows. Used mugs clustered on the counter, their contents consumed. The perpetrators lurk around a table nearby, amidst a pile of books and screens. Their caffeine-infused throats chanted elusive words, passed down from ancient times. “Why isn’t…Continue Reading Mech is Coming
Equipped with little more than Kirchhoff’s laws and a potentially haphazard love for calculus, I decided to choose electrical and electronic engineering (EEE for convenience) as the number one option on my specialisation form. Goodbye friends lost to the other specialisations, ’twas a good one while it lasted. When I tell people I’m doing EEE,…Continue Reading A short intro to the darkside
