The First Week
It's already friday, and the first week of school appeared to zoom past just like that. It's kinda worrying as this means that after one more week, all the hectic tutorials and projects will start to settle in again.
School has been rather ok, with more money spent on books. I never like to save money borrowing books from others, as I am someone who needs to highlight and make my own markings in my book. Oh well, the price to pay if I really want to do well, and I'd very much rather spend than forfeit my grades. Lectures have been a good prelude into what the semester will be like, and all seems fine just that nm2102 looks set to be the most boring module. Workload seems rather heavy too, but as I said before, after last semester, I seem to be more mentally prepared for whatever hell workload there is.
Compared to last semester, I do not have to worry about mc stuff anymore, although I spent the last couple of days churning out the beach fiesta website. Sidenote: I am reassured of why I didn't choose to go into designing.
I seem to have more time on my side the start of this semester, but I don't seem to be making real good use of it. By this time last semester, I have already started reading my textbooks, but this time, eventhough I already know I have a lot more to read than last sem, I haven't really started.
Now after reading this, I know many of you will go about saying I am a chao mugger or a kiasu freak. But hold your thoughts or comments. I don't think that starting to read early is kiasu or whatsoever, but just a smarter move on my part. Knowing that I will start to be real busy, or simply real lazy when tutorials start to set in, I prolly wouldn't touch my readings or textbooks after week 3-4, so might as well start now and get the first few chapters covered. It worked last semester. I read finish my media writing book by week 2 or 3, and as expected, I didn't have the time (nor bothered) touching the book all the way until I packed the book aside after the exam paper.
Oh one more thing, one of the most common phrases I keep hearing this few days, "this module is hard to score". I personally feel that there is a flaw to this statement, because there is no module that is easy to score, nor hard to score. If it's a relatively simple module, it's still hard as everyone does well and vies for a higher bell curve position. Similarly, if the module is relatively harder, there still has to be some people who will be at the higher end of the curve. So why not let that be you?
