Random Post #1

Reading back my entries made me want to write a blog post. I have decided to disclose the recent me and the life of last semester. Let's go clockwise alright? We'll start from last semester.

I took Critical Thinking, Writing for Media, Group Dynamics and Effective Listening. 1 Level 100 paper, 2 Level 200 and 1 Level 300 paper. It's not as easy as I thought it was but also not as hard if I actually motivate myself to study harder. I was on the verge of breaking down cause my lecturer rejected my journals that I had picked for my research topics. That's not all. I had to cover on my Effective Listening, Writing for Media and Group Dynamics class as some of them do have group projects. So there's where the problems start kicking in.

Critical Thinking was really pain in the ass because I had to find 7 journals to support my research topics and believe me, it is not easy to find journals and suitable journals for your research topic. The first time I found 7 journals, only 3 are usable

My lecturer's remark was: "Research topic too broad. Please focus on one area."

I was like wtffff?!

So I had to change my topic and make it a little more specific. I had to crack my head and think of another. Thank god I found a topic specific enough. Found 7 journals and showed her, she said this to me..

"The first three journals are fine but not the last four. It's totally not related to the topic."

Geez! I was quite close to mental breakdown because I had other projects on hand! But thank god I get her approval right before the deadline and I get to finish my research topic before my presentation.

This was the only subjects that gets to my nerves. Other are quite okay because we worked in a group. So it is much easier since I can rely on my groupmates. At the end, I got my results; D for Critical Thinking, C for Group Dynamics and Writing for Media. I got B for Effective Listening! So I guess I'm a good listener afterall. :P

Comes to this short semester which only lasted for 7 weeks. I had midterms during week 4 and luckily I took easy subjects. 1 Level 300 paper and 1 Level 100 paper. It was okay cause I had already familiarize with the lecturer's style of teaching and the assignment she gave.

All I hope for is to pass both of this subjects. I do not wish to retake the subject again because I already running out of time. I do not want to waste my time. I want to graduate before the end of next year. But two senior projects just does not allow me to do so. Guess I only get to graduate in the year of 2013. I left less than 15 subjects if I'm not mistaken + 2 senior project. So hopefully I can rush it. Sighhhhh... :/
