OH GOD MATH I started my new master's degree this week. So far so good, even though I need to trudge through three math courses. I really hope I can pull it off the first time around. As soon as I have that behind me, I have a lot of freedom in choosing courses - there's an abundance of interesting courses for me to take, from Air Traffic Management and Design of Multi-Modal Infrastructure Networks to Elements of Railway Engineering. There's more infrastructure in a month here than in a year of my bachelor's, and I couldn't be happier about it. Now all I need to do is not fail miserably.
I was thinking about public transportation yesterday. The worse part of it for me, if that it takes forever, and it is much harder to stop for food. I watched a show on regional bento boxes. I always wish there were areas with wild food, or some guy selling avocados, when I am waiting on a bus. Public transportation can be really fatiguing. That is probably not your program, but it my biggest problem as a user.
Actually, I will be doing multiple courses on public transport because I am quite interested in the policy side of transportation. It really depends on the city how good public transport is though. It's terrible in a lot of cities because a) cities are car-centered: b) there is not enough profit / funding, c) the company / organization is just crap or d) governments don't care.
Damn, hope that engineering going as planned, super hard thing to get a master's degree in.I'm in the same situation as you, except that I'm a freshmen right now, and look forward towards getting a math BA
One of my profs has us doing electrodynamic vector calculus in 4D on our individual whiteboards, and then he comes around and helps (/judges) us. Every class. Shit's rough.
