Back to the Books
Tomorrow will mark my 6th week of school here in CUHK, and I guess work is starting to pick up. Looking at the bigger picture, it took me 6 long weeks to actually blog about something related to school work, a stark contrast from the previous semesters back in NUS, and a testament to how relax I've been taking things here :)
I kind of started the engine rolling in the past week already, doing my first set of readings and having a few project meetings already, and even having some sort of a mini studying session with Elaine and Bryan at McCafe. Pace is still rather slow, but at least something's started eh.
Work has been going at a pretty slow pace probably because of the modules I chose, and the way I chose to have my timetable laid out. I am taking two films classes and one communications module for my major, and being a communications major, the irony is that I am definitely enjoying the two film classes much more. One basically involves watching films, and the other producing a couple of short films. I am therefore learning much about film production, the production process, the cameras, the sound, the lighting etc. Definitely something I wouldn't do back at home (due to concerns regarding grades and resources), so I'm relishing every single moment of it.
The remaining two modules are sociology modules, and perhaps my two most dis-interested modules. Nothing against sociology, but the exposure module I took back in year 1 sem 1 kinda scared me off a little. Eventually I still chose to take these two over some psychology and marketing modules simply because I wanted a free day, ease of mapping reasons, and a lighter workload (or so I think it would be). To date, the sociology readings are a chore. Maybe I was wrong, but oh heck, I believe I should be able to survive.
