my tuesdays alwaz end with a terrible headache... and either the feeling of triumph having understood the cheemalogies of the day... or in deep depression of all that i could not grasp in the entire 8hrs... such are USP modules... actually only the ones that i'm taking now i guess... being my first time diving head first into econs... doing Economic Policy Analysis when i dont even have the bare essentials of econs... or trying to do business analysis with my Decision Making class... i dont know whether to feel as if engin mods were better suited for me... coz i think i'm doing equally bad in both... engin and usp... which is really sad actually... today was one of the rarer occasions that i felt involved during econs... i didnt do the tutorial... but i did skim through almost all of the 11 readings... SKIM... becoz each was, on average, a 1000-word article full of economics jargon... i felt interested... in the flow... and when i felt as if i was truly learning something... we were discussing big stuff... history of co-operatives like NTUC... nation politics with regards to aviation... while i did not catch the econs part... i felt the discussion was fruitful... and i walked out of tutorial understanding much more about collusions, supermarkets, GLCs, national pride, aviation industries, jobs and how they can be interlinked... it felt as if a whole new world was opened in front of me... things i never saw b4.... or bothered to find out about... THIS is what learning is about... ...not scoring well in exams... though i'm pretty sure i have to... else all that i've absorbed today would be deemed obsolete... today was also one of the rarer ocassions that i attempted the tutorial for DM... my presentation for my case kinda screwed up... largely due to my fault... and i feel superbly bad for it... but what was more pressing is the fact that my prof didnt really address my qn... which i approached him with after klass... it was a counter to his solution... and i really needed an answer coz i was pretty sure of mine... but he simply dismissed my argument... while tidying up his stuff... only fueling my frustration with his apparent nonchalance... he is a nice prof... and i know that... so it was kinda =P for me... oh well... i'll just go back to staring at it more... with more intensity... *if you hear about fire in PGP... maybe i morphed into cyclops...* i'm fine... just abit sore... that my enthusiasm and effort... was not met with understanding... coz i'm not alwaz this hardworking ya know? and also that i thot i had something over my prof... rare to catch ur prof with a mistake ya? HIGHLIGHTS of TODAY... 1. my lappy broke a diving record today... ...nosedived from 1m to the hard marble floor... 2. not-so-small-sized guy squashed my poor toes when the bus jerked... ...that included my ugly blue-blacked with dried blood one... 3. i did okay for my econs response paper... ...even though i confused my prof with my own confusion abt market structures... 4. i finally had my potato salad... ...after wanting to eat it for 1 week... 5. my econs klassmate, who happens to be lu's BMT buddy, doesnt like my smell... ...he waits for me to sit down first before taking a seat far away from me... *confused* ...coz i dunnoe what to feel about today... will blog photos to attempt to salvage my sliding mood... ciao... ----Stef stopped rambling at 18:34 --Link to Post |
