I found the saddest place on earth

A thought transpired during the "universal sufferage" of digital comms.

If Disney founded the "Happiest place on Earth", I just found the
*"Saddest place on earth".

* -- excludes places with military affiliations

So simple huh. r(t) = s(t) + AWGN noise

I was buried in Digital Communications for the last few days.

Looking at the only recent past year paper, I memorised the entire derivation of equation covered in lectures. It was tough - especially so when the questions are so random themselves.

"It's going to be as easy as the mid terms" was all my lecturer could tell us in his last lesson as a way to assure us not to worry to much. How could we not worry when even the material taught in class was so difficult to comprehend?

And I was proven right. The paper today was just scary. I completed it within the first hour as I was only certain of 1(a) answer. Everyone was just as free as I was. We were playing the waiting game to see who could actually submit the paper and leave early.

Just then someone in class raised his hand. (there's a chance!)

Turned out that he requested for another answer booklet. Similar requests followed. Goodness. How could that be possible when my answer was only 5 pages long?!?!?!

Aftermath: In short, it was jia lat. Now, I'm hoping that the moderation exercise cuts me some slack. Grarh.

As WX says, it's over. So ah wells. Gotta prepare better for the next paper. I think I can say bye bye to my CAP already, unless a miracle really happens.
