This is the official room of the NDMU Chemical Engineering students. We call it hydraulics (it's the hydraulics lab), 1008, or simply, "sa rum ta".
This room is equipped with a hydraulic equipment, a heat exchanger, a Reynold's number apparatus, and more things I can't identify. Just don't ask me which of them is functioning.
Why the heck am I writing about this room?
Well, I spent half my college life on this room. I learned my major subjects on this room. I got a chance to use the things in this room. I took the world's most difficult exams on this room.
Summer's coming and I just wanna say I'm going to miss this room. It's just that, there are some places we dearly treasure in our lives and it so happen that mine's this. I love this room because even though I could only count the functioning apparatus with my fingers, it is where we spent all the good things about learning, and about life.
More than being taught about engineering, we were taught to engineer life. We learn about math but more than that, we learn multiply friends and subtract our not-so-friends. More than the handling of the equipment, we were taught to handle people. More than merely persevering on exams, we learned to persevere in experiences.
It is where we laugh on the most frivolous and nonsense things. It is where we cry even on the most unreasonable reasons. It is where we talk on the most senseless ideas. It is where we cultivate our friendships. It is where we see our teachers as more than just mere professors.
It is where we see life more than just reading our books or listening to lectures.
I guess, that's the most valuable thing about going to school.
