12/4/09 11:14 pm - The way the world works
Supernatural is loading so slowly. I can overdose on the Winchester brothers and die, now that exams are out of the way and Year 3 Sem 1 had officially come to an end. I thought it will be appropriate to reflect upon this semester at this point, never seemed to have done that for the previous semesters. And also, poof, before you and I know it, I will be out of NUS and left to my own devices ready (maybe?) to face the working world. This thought never fails to scare me.
So anyway, I took 5 Psychology modules this semester and according to many, it's virtually suicide to take so many core modules in a semester. Not like I had any choice, those were the only 5 modules I could take out of the array of Psychology modules because of pre requirements and such. Biological Psychology was, as expected, really tough given my lack of background in Biology and the lack of aptitude in Science for that matter. I was really fortunate to have wonderful groupmates though, who made our presentation an enjoyable task rather than a chore. In stark contrast, the groupmates for my Statistics project left so much to be desired. Even though they contributed quite a bit towards the report, it was not enough to stop me from giving them a low score in peer evaluation. As scary as everyone made Stats II out to be, I thought the lecturer made it rather manageable. He was brief and concise, which helped so much in understanding of the concepts. Ele and I nominated him for the teaching award! I hope he wins it (: but I still had difficulties with this module and please, don't let me fail it. I cannot afford to take it again!
Gosh it will be really tedious if I have to go through the other 3 modules like that. Haha so much for my reflection huh. But the 3 remaining modules were more than alright for me. I found myself enjoying studying the materials and that I am actually learning something that might prove useful in the future. It made me really happy! While studying for the exams, I realised I do like Psychology, a lot. What a pity I might not be able to study for another year because I will really like to learn more about this discipline. In addition, I want to be able to put to use what I have learned. My thoughts about the future lately centred on jobs that I can apply what I have learned in Psychology. Guess I shall do more research and have a clearer idea of what I can do.
After the exams I frankly had no idea how I will fare. I know it's no use pondering because everything has been set in stone. What surprised me this exam period was that I was not looking forward to the end of this semester as much as previous semesters. My mentality was like "oh okay, exams are going to be over, that's good" I'm school weary, I tell you, no longer enthusiastic! Oh but studying this time round was really fun. Bishan library with Ele, Mui and Willy really made mad ass studying 10000x better.
These days I am rather aimless. Internship didn't work out in the end so I can only bum around, read my novels and watch shows at home. Not that I'm complaining much but I am pretty sure I will get bored very soon. KL trip with my 2805 classmates next weeeeek woohoo! Itinerary all planned and I pray that the weather won't be dreary and wet when we are there. And after that it's back to work, I need to earn money!
Okay very long entry, kudos to you if you read till here! Supernatural is not loading at all rawr, I'm off to find working ones. Be good, everyone! (: xx
