My First year degree

As time waits for no one, my first year degree program comes to a close. In about one and a half month time, my final exams will be commencing soon. Mid-term examinations are over and I'm reaching the climax of the semester. I'll be facing four final exam papers which are Engineering Chemistry, Electrical Systems, Engineering Mathematics, and Engineering Programming. The grade aim for this semester is two distinctions and three credits. Distinctions for Engineering Chemistry and Design and Processes which is an assignment unit with no final exam paper.

In last semester's basketball tournament, my team reached the quarter finals. This semester's basketball tournament has already begun. My team "Freshmen" included four new members and removed four members. Our team is in group B and only the best two in the groups will be eligible to enter the semi-finals. Our first game was on last Sunday against "Miracle". Freshmen lost with the score 74-40. We had our largest lead in the beginning of the game which was 8-0. Later on in the game there was a quarrel between some of the Freshmen players with the referee and struggled in the last two quarters of the game. Miracle should be one of the best team in this tournament because almost all the players are Curtin players. Next game maybe scheduled to be on this coming Sunday. For us to qualify for the semi-finals we must win all next four games. Its exciting to feel to be a part of something and to work something out of it. Team Effort! thats what we'll need to win the next four games.

Have you ever thought of a super ability that you would want to have if you are capable of having one? I would like to be the fastest being on earth ever lived. With my incredible speed I would have my every action to be like 60 miles/hour. Gone in 60 seconds, something like that. It would be so fun going as fast as you can and SAVE time. Yes, being fast is an advantage of being human. Completing your work in time, having a capability to work quickly. I'm just saying but how good it will be if it is possible having super powers in the future. We can dream don't we. Thats where our imagination comes from and to be put into reality. In the past, flying to the moon or cloning may seem impossible but it certainly is possible now. What may seem impossible may be possible in the future. Who knows to what extent are humans potential of creating in the future. If you like to share, please give a comment of what super ability would you like to have and why so. I'm just interested to know the different creative ideas people have. Cool.

The fastest man alive "The Flash"

Another thing I'm into recently is Curtin's first sports carnival organized by the Student Council. There are few events which includes relay-running, volleyball, basketball, futsal, dodgeball, tug of war. Last week was volleyball and relay-running. This weekend will be futsal and basketball. Last week I participated in relay running. It was really tiring, I can't remember when was the last time I felt so tired. Just kept pushing myself to run till I can't feel my legs at the finish line. All I know is that we weren't the last team to finished. Haha. This weekend I'll be participating in the basketball event. Each team consist of three guys and two gals, only to be fair. Can't wait to see how it goes. Sure to be fun.
