Thermodynamic of My Life

I was planning to write up a petition for my MATSE 402 course, a thermodynamic course for materials, which I suppose I can substitute for my Chemical Engineering elective courses, when something struck my mind. Why my life here is so full of thermodynamic?

Academically speaking, to date, I have been taking for more or less 5 thermodynamic courses all in all, spanning the period of 5 years. Yet again, there are no many things I really understand about thermodynamic. My first thermodynamic professor, Professor Tarbell, he spoke about understanding thermodynamic on the first day of class. He said, the first time you learn about thermodynamic, you will not get it. The second time you learn thermodynamic, you think you get the material. But in the third time you study thermodynamic, you will confuse yourself. I guess what he actually said on that day is that, thermodynamic is a study of neverending confusion for average student like myself. Hehehehe..

CH E 303, CH E 304, ME 412, CHEM 451, CHEM 457, and now MATSE 401.

These are the thermodynamic courses that I have been taking here. MATSE 401 is the last thermodynamic course that I will take for the last time in my college career. It's a course of thermodynamic study on material offered by Material & Science Engineering Department. I believe I can nail this bad ass course since I am soooo full of thermo right now.

But one thing lingers in my brain, will I actually use this knowledge for my day to day life? As far as I can see, the only thermodynamic thing that I really apply is to boil the water under constant pressure..hehehe.

Ok laa..I am crapping here..:D
