Hello people.. For those who have been promptly hoping for my next entry, I guess the 4month wait was not futile :P
Lots of things have happened lately and previous conceptions of certain things have changed (a fair amount of them have also been further affirmed).
Quick summary of my life since Sem 2 began:
MUG and GUM (and the results are pretty far from what I expected. MY CAP DROPPED.. Hello!!): Firstly I think mug and gum is a cool way of saying studying furiously and... erm, not studying furiously (depends on how you define GUM.. It's quite open for interpretation). Essentially it just sounds catchy and Im trying to sound hip with the misnomer. Anyway....
My remedy to my education now is not so much of just purely mugging, but to...... take only 4 modules per sem.. I am doing so because I want my time to be spread out more evenly among the modules. (There is ALWAYS one module that I neglect.) This, I believe, will facilitate learning and scoring. Additionally, it may even add more social life, but that's not the crux. I have never felt that a student shld take 5 modules, much less 6 or more, cos it hardly differs from stuffing a turkey for Thanksgiving ie. learning does not take place, one only gets constipated. I expect more independent learning on top of just lessons and work, so the time buffer from my new plan will grant me more autonomy..
If your are quick in Maths, that will mean I graduate later. Quite a gasp for most people and I have heard a few protests against me doing it. No worries. My trial period begins next semester (Year 2 Sem 1) cos I do not see some of the modules that Im interested in, appearing in the list. Moreover, I foresee that next sem's work will be more project-based so it will also be beneficial if I try out the 4 module sem. If things still do not work out as expected in the 4 modules time slot, then something must be terribly wrong with me.
After studies will be work..
Internship at a school now, applying to be a Research Asst in sch (which I think I will not get, cos Im only yr 1 and the candidate next to me seems so much more experienced!!), being KPO over some volunteer work somewhere, just getting an exposure to what I may be doing in future. Basically thats it. A little touchy on certain issues so I will hold back some details.
Busy during this hols too. I have certain constraints so overseas are out of the qn. Ppl coming back into my life (for a while) and ppl leaving it (for pretty long :'( ) so the gatherings are up.
This is an opening resurrection for bloggie again. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to contribute further.
