Final Week at the UWSP, Yay!

Starting Monday, the husband has been dealing with students so stressed out for the whole semester. Well, it is the final exam week at the university so hooray to that! To all UWSP students, good luck and do well on those tests! Soon, summer break will be here for you to enjoy! Have a blast then!

Monday to Wednesday which was yesterday was when the husband gave out his Final tests to his three sections. Today is his first time of waking up on a Thursday that he doesn't need to rush. As a matter of fact, he overstayed in bed. Yay to the husband! All he's up to doing is just to check his students' test papers so he can make grades and then rest for three weeks before summer classes start again for him! before that, we'll enjoy a 2-week-break first to Las Vegas. We're flying in less than 2 weeks and I am sure it will be wonderful!

So how is this week treating you friends, so far? If you or you got students around there, when's their final exam? I say goodluck to them, too, as I say the same to the students here in our neck of the woods. Meanwhile, I have to finalize all these homeschooling works that I have of my daughter so I can mail this to the CLASS management and then we are completely done, too, with our Kindergarten curriculum. It's been a tough Spring semester but we made it!

I hope it is the same with you!

Bridge, Highway, and High Strength Constructions

Magnetic Drills are somewhat part of our friend's life these days. He is a licensed Civil Engineer and is working in Singapore as one of the trusted project engineers in a leading construction company there. As we all know, Singapore is a country in boom and in bloom. High-rising buildings known to the world right now are being built and constructed there and most of us dream of going there someday to see those amazing skyline in person. As a civil engineer, it amazes me how this friend of ours has evolved into a very independent and great young man, leading the team of workers who do wonders in the country.

So yeah, fasteners and drills and some more engineering stuff and mechanical resources are what this person is dealing with. As a woman and certainly not into this kind of skill, I am very limited to this kind of knowledge. However, my husband who is a licensed mechanical engineer as well has so many things to say about constructions, bridges, highways, and the likes. Obviously, I am learning so many things about constructions through him. We watch documentary shows together and I am always in awe with these high strength constructions that the leading countries around the world are into. For instance, the city of Dubai in the UAE. Currently, the world's tallest building is located there and yes, we have a lot of friends and relatives working there, too. So terms like drills and building fasteners may be alien to me, but I certainly have heard about them countless times because of my husband's and our friends' careers that include those stuff.
