End of Semester
Have not blogged for a week, as the past week has been deadlines, test and assignments for me. And despite the week already passing, and the school term officially ending, it's somehow not over for me yet. I still have one website, brochure and printer specifications due next friday. I am already feeling very tired from all the projects, and I don't know how I am going to get through those 3 final assignments.
While doing my assignments over the past week, I realised that being a teacher or lecturer is really tough. Why? Because for this semester's projects, I was mostly in charge of final edits and compilation, and I must say that some of the writing and works I edited did awe me. And trust me, I am not talking about those little grammar, language or punctuation mistakes. Those can be really pesky but can still be edited. But its those super long, repetitive, make no sense and super wrongly used words and sentences that gets on my nerve. I truly understand that everyone has different styles and standards of writing, but I guess one would only understand my plight if you saw the torment I was put through while editing.
As I mentioned, school has ended for many, but not for me at least, with those final assignments. But for some of my friends, yesterday marked their final lap in NUS, and perhaps their final day ever in academic education. I didn't see much of a reaction to that, but I know deep down they did feel something. One has to move on, but it is kinda sad how your lifestyle for the past 3 to 4 years would suddenly just stop there, and move on to something new. Just want to give my well wishes to those graduating, and all the best to your future endeavours. Remember that this is just a new beginning of an end.
On a side note, I checked my exam seating plan just now, and you know what. Being labeled as an ARS3 student makes me feel really old, and I started to realised that it wouldn't be too long before my final day in NUS too. Good or bad? Both.
A short paragraph to wrap up the semester. It was kind of horrible towards the end. Grades wise things have been rather neutral, but I am rather skeptical about the final tests and assignments that have just gone by. I must admit of my four semesters, this was one where I was the most slack, and the most last minute. I am not sure if I should, but I am still attributing it to the fatigue in the last 2 semesters, and perhaps the fatigue from school as a whole. Of all my modules, I am most worried about my JS. I have never fared well in 1101E modules, and this time looks like nothing will be different. My final assignments due next friday are going to badly hinder my revision for this module. My project I felt was perhaps here and there. My participation in class was so-so considering how many smoke bombs I have used already. And just yesterday, despite it being the deadline for forum posting, I somehow fell asleep at my computer, and just went to bed without bothering about the forum posting marks anymore. I was sooo tired that I think even toothpicks wouldn't hold my small eyes apart. That's how bad the module is for me. Sigh, I'll just be hopeful again.
