I started classes last week. Officially, classes started three weeks ago, which puts me two weeks behind. That, on top of my paltry reading skills, my abominable writing skills, and my lack of friends in class, makes the semester ahead look steep - almost vertical.
After a week of class, I’ve grasped that I’m poorly equipped to study Engineering here. I have to quickly reintroduce myself to paper and pen calculations and put my computer-based design skills in storage. My professors are trying to teach us how to “push through an equation” (literal translation) to the answer. But before I can do that, I need to make some space in my mind.
