✰Hi everyone!
✰ I'm Ashmi but everyone calls me Ash. During high school, I kept a
VCE Journey Journal and decided it is time to start up another journal, this time for uni!
For those that don't know me, here are some interesting facts about me:
✯I live for anything choc mint flavoured.
✯Coffee is an essential item in my daily life. Warning: Do not approach Ashmi if she hasn't had her daily coffee dose.
✯In my spare time, you will see me photo-editing, sewing some new cosplays or designing something new.
✯I can easily be bribed with a chocolate éclair or Maccas' hash browns.
✯I am forever a cat person. Meow.
✯Slytherin gang🐍
✯Black pens > Blue pens
✯I love pastel colours! (Or black and red combo). You will notice many things I own are pastel in colour (especially pink for some strange reason)
✯The earrings I wear daily have the same design, but different colours depending on my outfit.
✰What are you studying in uni?✰ Currently, as of this post, I am enrolled in the Bachelor of Science/Master of Engineering at the University of Melbourne. Originally I only wanted to do Electrical Engineering, but now I am also considering pursuing Physics to a higher level. I still don't know what path I will take for postgrad, but if there is one thing I know, it is that I plan to be majoring in Physics for my undergrad (unless I am 100% positive I want to do engineering by the end of this year then I will change to Electrical Systems, but I rather do Physics as it gives me more flexibility).
There are two main scenarios that I think will play out:
1. B-SCI -> Master of Engineering (Electrical)
2. B-SCI -> Master of Science (Physics) -> PhD (Or a plan that will eventually lead to a PhD)
If I do decide to pursue Physics, I think the areas I may be interested in are particle physics (high energy) or astrophysics and I'll most likely do a PhD. Who knows I might even do High Energy Astrophysics (would be so handy if I knew a bit of Electrical Engineering too). Option 2 sounds almost unrealistic for me, but you never know what will happen in life. There might also be a possibility that I study overseas for option 2 but that thought is much later down the track. Option 1 however is just as appealing to me as option 2 (how can I say no to anything electricity-related?!). I have always loved anything to do with circuits and engineering lets me have that design aspect that I crave. E.E is like the middle ground between maths, physics and design. To be honest, I feel that I will study both areas at some point in my life, it is just a matter of what I am going to do first.
One day, I hope that this lens I am always looking through can focus on a single point and bring some light into my life.
✰Do you have any long term goals that you want to accomplish during uni?✰I have always wanted to go on exchange. There is this one university I would like to go on exchange in particular, especially if I plan to be studying particle physics. It would be a DREAM to visit ETH Zurich (Also known as Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) in Switzerland. There are a few reasons I want to visit this place, in particular, the first being there are many Nobel Prize Laureates from there (*cough* Albert Einstein *cough*). It is quite prestigious in the science/tech area and has some interesting research going on there. My second big reason I want to go here is that Switzerland is the home of CERN, the world's largest particle physics laboratory. I really want to see the Large Hadron Collider in person! After seeing so many pictures on the internet of the LHC at CERN (if you don't know what I'm talking about, search it up), you bet I will do anything I can to try and get there.
My last long term goal is that by the time I finish uni, I want to be able to look back and say that I am significantly better than when I first started. When I talk about being better, I mean knowing more quality people (networking), taking things one step at a time rather than focusing too far into the future, developing some self-confidence, improving my communication skills, step out of my comfort zone, engage in the community, if possible having a great academic record and lastly, to be happier than I am right now.
I'll end this introduction here for this first post. Welcome to my journal and I hope you enjoy watching this chaotic mess unfold. It is going to be one long ride and I hope you can come to join me on this journey without a fixed destination.
