Of Carbon Chains and Vernier Calipers

FYI, I'm taking Diploma in Mechanical Engineering right now and it sounds rather technical. Well actually, what am I studying right now are Chemistry, Physics, Engineering Drawing and Engineering Maths.

Judging the subject by their respective textbooks really makes you go crazy. Imagine spending 200 bucks on photostatting those books. My engineering maths book has 1600++ pages. Pretty much huh?

Chemistry, I'm doing Organic Chemistry and I'm repeating Form 5 again. Physics, I have to learn how to use the micrometer screw gauge and vernier calipers, for ENGINEERING MATHS (sounds difficult) I have homework on Quadratic Equations, and the best part is the Engineering Drawing which teaches me how to construct a circle and a perpendicular bisector.

Pathetic, ain't it?
