omg. Just blog surfed and read a couple of my engineering friends' blogs. Theyre all lamenting about studying, being tired from studying, gpa and counting down to the exams.
Whereas I on the other hand, have yet to start studying proper. CS curriculum is such that we STILL have to work on projects/reports/presentations 2 weeks shy of the exams. This weekend, 3 written reports demand my attention. One of which is a 40pg group report, the other, a 12 page individual report which i have yet to touch. The 3rd is a group report too, but ive to compile everything. i definitely had more time to study last sem. Shouldve made use of that time to pull up my gpa, but i was too distracted by many things. i guess im more focused this sem, but now even if i want to study early, i dont have the time. This sem, we have more demanding modules (103,105) and ive one additional subject, finance, in which half my tutorial class consists of china scholars. The average's gonna be frickin high.
i dont mean to rant, but i just had to let this all out. After the disappointing revelation that gpa is a deciding factor in many things, even if its not explicitely stated (elaine, you'll know what im talking about), i promised myself that i wont let something slip out of my grasp so easily again. Creativity and originality of idea often give way to statistical merit in Singapore's rigid academia. Next sem theres application for exchange program, which is based on first year grades, and i want to do more than just meet the minimum requirement.
I hope this sudden force of motivation is not ephemeral, but will translate into some form of action.
Lord i look to you.
