The Life of an Engineering Student :: Engineer Education Papers

The Life of an Engineering Student Im drinking cocktails out of a coconut on the beach when the Ocean begins to beep. Its 700am, Monday morning. I throw the alarm clock across the room and it crashes on the opposite wall. Subconsciously, I drag myself out of bed. Blind without my contacts and still lying on the beach sipping cocktails in a far off land, I dont realize the bedroom door is closed until my nose impacts it. My nose gives, the door doesnt. I shift into the bathroom, start the shower, and plop in my contacts. I massage my chin, which is sporting 2 days of scruffy growth. I tell myself that Ill shave tomorrow. The showers hot for the first two minutes and then it turns cold. My eyes fire open for the first time. I wonder why a building designed for twenty people bed only handle one person taking a shower. I towel off and drag a comb across my head. The deodorant is there, merely it seems my toothbrush has walked off. A finger has to act as a substitute. I slip on a pair of flannel boxers. They have a shoot down down the leg from fatigue due to heavy wear. It takes months for a new pair of boxers to become comfortable, hence, no man ever throws his shorts away. dissolve by the cyclic loading of the wash machine, boxers just dont make it out of the laundry one day. Its a mystery that men still suppose while sipping a beer at the bar on a Friday night. My jeans havent been cleaned in days, but that doesnt matter. A T-shirt and shoes add the finishing touches. I ratification my watch. Its 735am and theres no way Im going to make it for my 745 mechanics of materials lab. I jump on my mountain bike in full phase of the moon stride and blow four red lights on the way to Engineering Hall. I nearly knock over a poor frosh who carelessly go into the bike lane on University Avenue. Clipping his backpack, I turn my head to see if I knocked him over. I dont fret it because freshmen are pretty ductile when it comes to things care that. Besides, Im sure I didnt cause any permanent trauma. The Professor has started the pre-lab lecture when I enter the room. This is a common stress-strain diagram for low carbon steel.
