"Oh sure, that's easy."

Yeah right.

Nothing's ever easy. I have just finished correcting 53 final exams for this course.  I wrote two questions for it (yes I did, and don't be so baffled about it), and now I realize that nothing, and I mean nothing, can ever be too easy. And I have the numbers to back me up.

Naturally that doesn't just go for electrical engineering. If I wanted to sound horribly clichéd I would say that the same goes for life in general. Why is it that absolutely anything, given the right kind of thinking, can suddenly become a metaphor for life? Why do we have to keep comparing life to something else as if we weren't living our life already? Or maybe life is just too muddled up and convoluted that we have to factor it down into its prime components, simplify and deconstruct, strip it down to its bare essentials in the hope that somehow, in that dire process, we can find what it actually is we're looking for.

But anyway, that's besides the point.
