Graduation

ps: I know this is kind of late, but I have actually written it on graduation day . I just did not publish it till now for whatever reason...

Four years after our formal inauguration,
we hereby gather here once again for our commencement.
Some of us may wonder why isn't it called convocation?
To put it simply lets just call it our graduation!

Over these years we formed many friendships,
with some even developing into romantic relationships.
Hope that our bonds continues to run deep,
as we leave with many wonderful memories that we will keep.

Funny stories to tell many years later,
us being part of the same alma mater.
To the real world now, let us prove our mettle!
Jobstreet here we come, don't forget your cover letters.

THEY'LL TELL YOU THAT YOU NEED SIX HOURS OF SLEEP A DAY.

WE SAY THAT SLEEP IS ONLY FOR WUSSIES.

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM N'US.

What is research?

Well... it is just one fucking thing after another.

Yes thats what it is!

First, you do something like literature survey. This is a painsaking process of deciphering all the crap shit other researchers have published over the years ever since the scientific community invented something called the Nobel Prize. These research papers include fanciful photographs and other complicated mathematical models or simulations. Sometimes it is highly suspected that these papers are written for the sake of giving out phDs or for the university to become so called "world class".

Next, you need to do experiments. These experiments sometimes consists of replicating experiments that had been done by other researchers to see if they are cheating, faking results, manipulating data, very lucky, or the more probable reason, to see if u are just plain stupid. Most of the time, you get wierd data. If u are a scientist, then great... you could have discovered something new, something that will contribute to mankind and you might just win the nobel prize. BUT if u are a fyp student, most probably its because the equipment u are using has its limitations (in layman's term: Fucking lousy) or that you are just not blessed with good luck.

Then u write your thesis, 100 pages of nonsense that your prof most probably won't be interested in. Why? Because it is full of procedural elaboration, failure descriptions, non-conclusive analysis and maybe lot of ideas in the future work section.

What to do with unaccomplished objectives?! Simple,
Step1: Remove them from the first chapter under the experimental objectives list.
Step2: Put them under the future work list.

Get the idea?!

2 more weeks!!! Cheers to the end of torture... welcome to exams and then unemployment...

Well, it really is ... one fucking thing after another.....
