Well, it actually isn’t the first meeting within the group but it’s the first meeting we had with the Civil Engineering Department. Our project is actually a part of the flood mitigation project, a master’s thesis project in the CE Department.

We sat down in their office, the four of us (me, Irvin, Ralph and Regina – Kirby was late), Jonah and Karen (the ones preparing for their thesis in the CE Master’s Program) and Engr. Nestor Sy, our CE “adviser”. He actually just explained how the water level sensor would go and what he would want us to do and we just keep on discussing things and laughing casually as well.

I won’t be able to say much in detail because I’ve mentioned it in the previous entry. However, after we went out of the office, I just felt like I went into a brainstorming meeting for a project in a big company. I felt pretty much like a working girl already, a part of the technical team of a company. I mean, I’ve had a job in a real company before but I’ve never felt this way. It’s probably because the task at hand is more related to my course and it makes me giddy because I feel that my knowledge and skills is not yet enough for the job. I have so much to learn and it’s the first time I could really say I’m not prepared for the job.

So, anyway, I will try to make up for my lack of subjects and have self-study instead. I hope I could get to learn as much in a very limited time.

Til the next!
