Finally i got something to write le...rushing week it had been...everything done hastily..hard to relax totally, sleeping became my luxury.
Was chosen for the homestay programme, so for 11 days in dec i wun be in sg. Not really something to be proud of. i was chosen cos of my major and that i am a year 3 student( which means its kind of like my only chance). I am neither happy nor sad...the feeling became neutral after mixing. But felt that its quite unfair. There are so many others with better jap proficiency than me..and yet they lose to the difference in majors, what a joke.
Wonder how am i ever going to catch up with my work, jap5,biz jap, linguistic are all of competitive nature. No longer studying with pple whom we have known since Jap1 or 2. We are now competing with pple that came in from placement tests. When i heard my tutors saying most of us keep getting "very good" for our assignments and they were surprised since we had so much things to handle, i took it as a sarcastic remark while i realised tt me,sin,wj all got "good" only. I dunno why i went for tt lecture,probably just to hand in my homework. i am amazed at pple who can get good remarks in their homework when we are supposed to to figure out how the hell the structures work ourselves.Oh well maybe they put in much more effort than me. i hope that the lecturer can try to come up with more examples of her own...
This semester's module all became stressful.Most of the modules i am taking needs talking. Maybe i shld start to crap abit to at least earn a "good" in my gender class...i wun really hope for "very gd" or "excellent",too far. Jap5 too...need to volunteer...no talking=no grading.pathetic huh? Need participate in forum also...hahaha if i really can complete all that..i am a nerd le. But think for now i dun mind becoming one.
This semester really reveals alot of ugly truth. In university...hard work isnt enough.You also need money, talent, time, skill of analysing and creativity. Why money? For all the notes and books and stuff...and if u dun have money, u need t work,which takes away ur time for studying. Time, of course la...no time study sai ah. Talent...most important de..not really talent la...its like the ability to understand things really fast.There are practically no time for u to slowly understand.Even though u might use hard work to overcome ur lack of understanding, others have already moved on to few chapters ahead while u r still trying hard to master the current chapter. Analysing and creativity...sure thing..this is no longer a time where copy and paste tb can help u get excellent results...thinking skills needed. Of course dun believe when the lecturers say memorsing dun help u to pass. IT DOES. kns la them...dun memorise then where the hell are u gonna get the basics and general knowledge before analysing. Memorising ensures a pass...Analysing and creativity ensures a above average grade. SO NEVER BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY SAY UNDERSTAND ONLY CAN LIAO.
Even though i have mentioned this years ago,i shall say it again, i wan to curb my hot-temper-ness=x
