The (very) Long 1201 Project
19 views • 3/11/2025
The end is nigh! Will the first year Aero+Astro students of Southampton be able to finish the project in time?
00:00 - 00:03 | The aim is simple, the project should be quite easy |
00:04 - 00:05 | The first part is a group presentation |
00:05 - 00:07 | After which we’ll have to make our own wings |
00:08 - 00:12 | We’ll be making use of XFLR5, python and solidworks to do the analysis and design |
00:12 - 00:15 | And, finally, filling in a portfolio template to show our progress. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Not to worry, they gave us a weekly planner |
00:19 - 00:21 | I’ll just follow that |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein fürher… |
00:27 - 00:28 | The planner… |
00:31 - 00:33 | The planner won’t work if you have the Friday sessions. |
00:34 - 00:36 | You’ll always be a week behind everyone else. |
00:53 - 00:58 | If you have sessions between Monday and Thursday, leave. The. Room. |
01:13 - 01:15 | WHAT THE FUCK |
01:15 - 01:17 | IF I ATTEND ALL THE SESSIONS AND DO THE WORK AS THEY SET IT |
01:18 - 01:23 | I’LL STILL BE BEHIND EVERYONE ELSE? |
01:25 - 01:28 | AND WORST OF ALL, WE’RE BUILDING FIRST! |
01:29 - 01:31 | SO NOW I’LL HAVE TO WORK TWICE AS HARD |
01:31 - 01:34 | I did the CAD modelling a week in advance |
01:34 - 01:37 | But that still wasn’t fucking enough. I had go work my ass off |
01:37 - 01:40 | Just to get the goddamn DXF file ready in time |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Fürher, most of the others aren’t even at that point, you’re achieving nothing |
01:42 - 01:46 | OR MAYBE I’M THE ONLY ONE ON TRACK! I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT FROM ME! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Mein Fürher, you’re being ridiculous |
01:48 - 01:52 | I KNOW I’m right! I’m looking at the planner! |
01:53 - 01:54 | IT’S RIGHT THERE! |
01:56 - 01:57 | Are you trying to say the staff don’t know what they’re doing? |
01:57 - 02:00 | After YEARS overseeing tens of projects just like these? |
02:00 - 02:03 | After YEARS of student feedback? |
02:04 - 02:08 | Hell, maybe they don’t know. Or worse, they’re not co-ordinated and give conflicting information! |
02:08 - 02:13 | This entire project is turning into a clusterfuck. Build day will be nothing short of HELL! |
02:14 - 02:16 | And all the INCESSANT QUESTIONS from people who are late |
02:17 - 02:21 | Go and fucking figure it out like I did, like we ALL did! |
02:27 - 02:29 | And they all ask the same questions |
02:30 - 02:34 | “Are we building the whole wing” you idiots, fucking scroll up |
02:34 - 02:36 | They shouldn’t have left it for the last minute |
02:41 - 02:42 | And then they DM you |
02:43 - 02:47 | THEY HAVE THE BALLS TO DM YOU! AS IF YOU’RE THEIR PERSONAL HELPER! |
02:48 - 02:53 | But I continue to help, and I don’t know why. |
02:54 - 02:56 | I can’t help myself |
02:56 - 02:59 | It took sweat and blood to do this and I’m giving them a free pass |
03:00 - 03:02 | So that they don’t have to go through what I did |
03:04 - 03:07 | It’s ok, we only need 50% to pass |
03:14 - 03:16 | Now to fill in the portfolio… |
03:19 - 03:23 | At least this is one thing they don’t need to help us with |
03:25 - 03:26 | Their help sucks |
03:31 - 03:33 | They tricked us |
03:40 - 03:46 | I’m going to put as much effort into this project as they did organising it. |
03:46 - 03:49 | God knows I’m not doing more than I have to |
03:53 - 03:56 | Maybe another uni will still accept me… |
