24 July 2008, getting my sixth choice in USM for my Civil Engineering course, my dad gives me my 1st impression of it - gotta stay under hot sun measuring the road level. It's very common to see civil students wearing safety vest playing around with the tripod around the campus during 2nd year 1st sem. We have to spend 5 hours under sun to play with our toys.
Our toys include a LEICA NA720 level telescope, 2 staffs of 5 metres long and the tripod of course. Setting up the tripod and positioning the bubble is our main task, but i can done all in just less than 1 minute provided all instruments is in good condition. But i am so disappointed with our 1st assignment, leveling from TBM 1 (Temporary Benchmark) to TBM 4 and back to TBM1, our misclosure is 230 cm = 2300 mm whereby our acceptable misclosure is only 8 mm!!! Oh my goodness!!! Can u imagine how far we deflect? So, what to do, we are awarded another 5 hours playing with our toys. The 2nd assignment is better, after some adjustment, our misclosure is only 3 mm. Such a great improvement. haha. Such a tiring day because we start work at 8am and end class at 7pm, exactly ten hours of torturing period.
