Department: Construction
Ever wondered what life at Busoga International Polytechnic (BIP) is really like? From hands-on construction workshops to hearty meals shared with friends, each day offers a unique blend of learning, discovery, and camaraderie. In this installment of our new series, A Day in the Life of a BIP Student, we follow Saidi Tahakabar, a Construction Department student, as he takes us through his daily routine—highlighting everything from class discussions to practical training sessions.
Morning Routine
I start my day by waking up early to pray and tidy my bed. After greeting my friends, I freshen up with a shower and brush my teeth. Then I dress up for the day’s lectures and head to the dining hall for a hearty breakfast.
Classes and Lectures
Before the trainer arrives, my classmates and I review and discuss our previous assignments. Once class begins, I pay close attention and take detailed notes of the key points the trainer highlights. This helps me stay engaged and absorb as much information as possible.
Practical Training Sessions
Safety is a priority at BIP, so I always put on the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) before entering the training sessions. During the practicals, I give my full attention to the trainer, making sure I learn and practice each new skill thoroughly.
Lunch Break
After a productive morning, I head to the dining hall to sign in for my lunch. The meals at BIP are consistently delicious and satisfying, giving me the energy I need for the rest of the day.
Afternoon Workshops and Projects
Once lunch is over, it’s back to the workshop. Donning my PPE again, I continue working on projects and refining the skills I learned in the morning session. Applying these lessons in a hands-on environment helps me understand the concepts and build confidence.
Evening Reflections
After my final workshop, I return to my hostel to freshen up and rest. I have my supper, then spend some time researching for upcoming assessments and preparing my attire for the next day—especially my overalls. Any unfinished assignments get done before bedtime, ensuring I’m ready to start the new day strong.
Conclusion
Life at Busoga International Polytechnic (BIP) is fulfilling, both academically and health-wise. The routine is easy to adapt to, and every day I feel more confident in my practical skills and theoretical knowledge. I’m proud to be a student at BIP.
