Not quite my first post

It's true. The first post is always the most awkward one.

But then again, it's not really my first post, as my previous blog got quite a bit messy.

I just returned from Hong Kong, where I was part of the Hong Kong University Taster Day Programme.
Basically, three selected students from my school went to HKU, to learn about the engineering program and the university itself. This was the first time that the University has done this, so we were pilots xD

Personally, I was looking forward to this to learn more about the courses within engineering, because I was still unsure of what I wanted to do in university (all I know is that I'm interested in engineering). However, I think it was a waste of time, as we were split up into groups, and only did a section of engineering (Our group did Civil Engineering). It might have been better if the groups could try all the different sections... Oh well. Here's a picture of a group trying to make a spaghetti bridge. The formula for the best spaghetti bridge was (Weight that the bridge can support)/(Weight of the bridge itself).


We came second! xD

Hmm... I better get back to fine-tuning this blog (being a perfectionist) and go down for dinner eventually.
