BE Confusion

Its a Saturday night and the BE final is on Monday: Yet I'm still confused as to what I am studying for.

I still have no idea what an engineer is. To me, BE means combining many different aspects of science to create devices that will help doctors keep people healthier and make the quality of life better. Specifically, using stem cells to create organs. But I was talking to a fellow BE freshman and to him, it meant something completely different.

Which is right? I guess neither. The definition must be abstract and individualized. Which leads me to my confused question: what will the final really be asking? If this course really means something different to everyone, how can we answer questions for the general?

AGHH so much confusion. Where do I start for this final?

What Has Been Going On... Everything but BE

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be writing here because individually, I haven't been working on anything. Everything has been a group project. That's where I've been putting my time and energy.

I'm having mixed feeling about the cold. I loved seeing it snow (first time!) and I don't mind the cold if I'm layered correctly, but I'm not such a fan of being outside when it snows. The snow lands on your face and melts, freezing your face and any other exposed body surface. I think I like warm areas better, but since I chose this school, I'm gonna have to get used to cold winters.

I have started studying for finals (which are in a week! aghhh) Its A LOT of information. I'm sorta surprised that i learned all this in only one semester. But now i have to just sit down and do all the problems that I have been assigned. that's the problem. I haven't been doing that. So I'm making a finals resolution: Stop procrastinating and do your work! Now, if only I could follow that.
