Another Day Another Blog

Thus far, this summer has been quite educational and yet quite boring. But, amongst all the boredom I truly believe that this has probably been one of my more productive summers. I have learned a great deal about myself and had a lot of time to self reflect upon important things such as how handle situation, how to be responsible and the way I interpret my surroundings. Apart from those things were my younger cousins and that I learned about their everyday lives and subculture in the small town of Guelph.

Upon getting home I almost instantaneous was susceptible to all the foreign yet familiar dust particles that my body had immediately reacted upon. This did not however, distract me from my thoughts, and that was I have been questioning my major as of recently. Certainly Mechanical Engineering is what I've originally aspired for. But, now I really want to question whether it is what I want. I know that Mechanical Engineering is definitely a popular trade out there. However, I've been concerned about where all the focus in the development of technology has been going. How far does mechanics go before I hit a road block or find it very difficult to touch upon new discoveries. A lot of the credit these days appear to go to chemical engineers for synthesizing new and exotic materials that the world has never seen before. Computer engineers continually develop more advanced software and interactive user interfaces for people to work with. I however, start to question where has the discoveries of the mechanical engineer come into play these days?

A silly question though, because as I type I most certainly start to realize that mechanical engineering is interdisciplinary and that having access to new synthesized materials could in fact give us more raw materials to work with. Not to mention come up with cool inventions. However, thus ends my train of thought. For you readers out there thanks for reading I hope that you guys have found some mild entertainment out of my rambling.
