Studies

Things are starting to become quite a routine.. chemical instrumentation pre-lab + lab report, earth and space sciences assignment + lab.. and i have been piling up my DIY workbook for my biochemistry course every week.. so much work.. and i have a term paper due soon and a literature presentation to prepare for.. argh..i really feel like back in secondary school again..

I am starting to appreciate life back in singapore. Perhaps this system is not as good for me. In NUS, i can focus on the concepts then apply (in a way, it is not very hardcore work).. Here, i feel like a farmer. must really work very hard to see results.. And who said Singaporeans are being spoonfed? I dont think we are at all, and i kinda like it. We do have alot of freedom to do what we want too; we are not forced to hand in assignments, even if so, the assignments add up to very small percentages.. AND i miss powerpoint slides. I want to write my own notes..

anyway, i just started "bidding" for my next quarter's modules. Come to think of it.. i think the NUS bidding system is rather fair, even though some of us back then did complain alot. In UCLA, it is all quite on a first come first serve basis. So it is see who has the fastest finger (and best computer) wins perhaps?

Next quarter, I must try to do as many as those that are not offered in NUS, then it will seem more worth it to fly across a third of the globe to study. i should be doing one graduate level chemistry module called Biological Inorganic Chemistry (wish me luck!!). I should also be taking Introductory Psychology, since UCLA is rather famous for her psychology department. My last module will be a Women Studies module - something Singapore doesn't really have as well. I think it will be quite fun. And the best part is i only have 3-day work week - Tues, Wed and Thurs. and my days start at 11am earliest! Super long weekend - very good for travelling! yippee.. i think i can go Texas, paulene. =) u must find a place for me to crash. haha

ok, dinner then back to work.. tata~~
