You feel like you're spiralling downwards to eternity. The strongholds now prove the weakest link. Its, as they say, a crazy, crazy world out there. You're numbed. You can't act. You desperately want to prove yourself. You want to get there. The pinnacle. The zenith. Now its a long way. And now its just-there. You can see the sun glinting off the peak. Its a dog-eat-dog rat race. You feel life's unfair. You feel everyone else is given the unfair advantage. You're lonely. No one understands. You know no one understands. Maybe you just think no one understands. Maybe you're wrong. Maybe it doesn't make a difference. Maybe it does. Maybe this follows Murphy's law-if something can go wrong, need I say more?-and Moore's law. Only here the complexity involved doesn't refer to the chip. It refers to yours truly.
Engineering Ethics just manages to suck the life out of you. Its not like we're these bunch of morons, escaped from an asylum, who need to be taught "honesty" and "truthfulness". The general opinion around here is that we're an irresponsible generation brought up on a life of deceipt, carelessness, irreverence. We need to be taught what is right, what is wrong. We need to be able to classify values, prioritize our rights and duties, blah blah. If you get the drift, this is what it feels like after attempting an Engg Ethics CAT-Continuous Assessment Tests. Another ruse to wreck the student community. Another day, another week, another semester in the life of a totally disoriented student.
