another three, keep fighting!

good day folks =]

semester hasn't start. supposedly holiday is not ending till next monday, but here i am at the library early morning to do some prep work before going to class. read through course guide and announcement, understanding the course and getting a picture of my 12 weeks workload, all i have to say is "its not easy."

last week, i talked to my smartest uncle. sort of seeking for advice on course taking. its my final semester, last one before proudly announce to be a graduate, its a big deal. i told him i though its a waste of money to pick up language courses but its easy scoring, almost effortless to get through it. i said i'd rather spend my thousands of fees on more knowledgeable and practical subject that's related to my degree. but he held different view. "easy scoring courses would lift your average mark and pull you up to a higher level" - that's what he said. somehow, he's right. if i was to aim to be top student, to have pretty grades on my transcript, maybe that's my choice too.

after consideration, what is best for myself is to learn something out of it. that's always me. i don't buy the "reputation of school" or "failing means failure" says, what i do believe is, if you've learn something, gained experience and understand what you are doing, that's all that matter. i mean, i totally understand the fact that not everyone is meant for school, not everyone is meant for getting good result, and of course, not everyone wants to be a top student. the key is to give in and get something back. you've put in effort, you know you understand and learn something, that's the "reward" for giving in, not the marks on your result sheets. anyway, i'm sticking to my original plan. scratch that language courses. i'm doing international finance, empirical studies in equity market and superannuation and retirement planning.

speaking of result, as i'd mentioned, my result released on monday. i woke up an hour before the releasing time. literally refresh the page over and over. but it won't show until the clock tick 9. hate it! i was so nervous. i somehow wish my university would text us the result instead of dividing the releasing time alphabetically. just like the boyfriend received his result via sms from his university. nevertheless, i'm satisfied and happy with the result. big smile!

another three passes and i'll be attending my graduation ceremony! although its going to be tough, stress, monstrous workloads, i'm going to fight them all down. keep fighting!

with love and compassion,
