Iron Ring!

We had our Iron Ring ceremony and parties tonight, and it was a blast! The ceremony itself was a bit weird because it felt like a cult with all the rituals, but it was definitely memorable because in the moments of silence and seriousness, I saw many of my engineering memories flash by. I also felt the immense responsibility and honour to live out the respect and roles an engineer must accomplish as they enter the working field. This doesn't necessarily mean working directly as an engineer, but rather, it's more like just upholding the engineering aspects in the daily working life, such as being humble for the tasks you are accomplishing and always making sure you give the utmost effort and concentration in your work so that it will come out complete and perfect.

Anyway, the reception after the cermony was a lot of fun! It was a great chance for some awesome pictures (to be posted by my friends on facebook soon), and obviously some pre-party drinking. The party afterwards at Molly Bloom's was definitely banging because of the beer and snacks and all the engscis gathering together to party and celebrate 4 (or 5) years of hard work! All in all, another night to remember, especially the importance of the Iron Ring!

--On a side note, I thought the beer and snacks were pretty disgusting (in terms of health) ...even though it tasted so good because I was so hungry, but after seeing this, man, I would even consider the junk I ate tonight was healthy food!

interesting..
when you say:

it kind of got me thinking about baptism/membership...somewhat and how it's so important to continually strive to live out as a Light despite the fact that you might not be doing what you like to be doing but God must've planned it for a reason. not sure if that made much sense though..
