Journal : end this semester!

After three weeks, this semester will be ended. This semester is my second semester after coming at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, so I want to more focus on my study, especially my major field, electrical engineering. To tell the truth, courses hat I am taking on this semester are very hard for me and suffering me. So, I always stay in grainger library (engineering library) everyday. Now, I feel very comfortable when I stay there. Maybe, I think that this situation will keep going until I graduate.

I am taking one major courses about computing system. People said that this course is the first crisis for ECE students because it is really hard course and require lots of works. However, I ignore the advice because that course’s name is ECE190. It’s for freshman because the name starts with 1. At first, I think that this course is easy, so the course name is 1. But it’s not. I understood that the course requires lots of works such as homework, machine problem, and studying for solve the homework and machine problem. Every Wednesdays on this semester was a horrible day because 10pm on the day is deadline to turn in homework, even still now. However, during keep following the course, I found a big interest from computing system and programming. Even I consider that my major transfer to computer engineering. Although this course is really difficult and has lots of stuff, it’s not boring during studying.

Also, I took quantum physics on this semester. This course is already over because it is for 8 weeks. This course studies for electron and photon. These make me crazy. Their motion cannot be fixed. All results of research is how much probability the condition has. Physics class also requires lots of time to study. This course has just 2 credits, but the course consists of two lectures (1.5 Hours) per week, one lab (2 Hours) per week, and one discussion class with quizzes (2 Hours) per week. Also, it has one homework every week, and I should spend one day to finish the homework. That’s not two credits….

To sum up, this semester for my major is not bad because I learned lots of thing about computing systems and quantum physics. I think that these theories that I got form these courses will be helpful for me to next semester. So I will try to get 4.0.
