Wanna find myself an excuse to not study, although I have two papers next week and one assignment pending due to procrastination. For this semester, there is only one mid term test for both core subjects. Usually, we have two mid term tests for one subject. The pro is to mitigate the risk as one paper means do or die. But the con is need to experience the exam stress twice. Since Ive been studying consistently, it makes no difference for me. Think on the bright side, scoring high means no need to worry much for finals! But low chance thou.
I have been working hard for my SBL due to bad experience in previous semester, however I noticed most of my coursemates don't really care about this subject, weird. Thanks to Dr Amy, I kinda start to grasp the answer techniques for SBL. I used to complain about the need to prepare slides for tutorial, but I realize I understand better when revising. Probably is due to the amount of effort I've been putting in? Hope my mid term results won't disappoint her and myself!
I have reduced my frequency in skipping lecture classes this semester! Achievement unlocked? Finally we got a teacher who really know how to explain accounting treatment in layman terms! He is so dedicated and even offer additional classes for us! Can tell he is trying his best to make us stay awake in class by creating some weird stories and singing birthday songs for our classmates lol. Sincerely appreciate his effort thou.
Another reason of skipping class less frequently is to spend more time with my friends and don't want to mafan them to mark attendance on behalf of me. Probably after experiencing internship, we have become more mature? Although there is obvious distinction between our mindset and goal, we learnt how to get along and tolerate each other. I still dislike how they spent much time on worrying or over analyzing trivial matters, but I will just ignore it lol. Really appreciate to have the guys! Or else I don't know who should I share my thoughts with and show my true colours with. Now I don't really have a roommate cause she stays with her bf (but she's paying the rental so I'm extremely fine with itme), I cherish of being able to have control of my time! Although I miss her sometimes, but I feel now we manage to sort out a better way to get along with each other too.
My sister just told me her Chinese oral test is about "my sister and I". I was so shocked. To me, I feel our personalities are so different and I admit I don't know how to tolerate her sometimes. I would say I'm closer with my brother because we always share the same thoughts. Anyway really gamdong when my sister was mad at how the instructor challenged her content, as she shared that she and I have the same thoughts about our parents, and somehow the instructor disagreed lol. Hope that this won't affect her oral test marks! Shouldn't the instructor focus on her fluency and grammar? How could she judge when she's not the one experiencing all the nightmares or pains in the family?
Oh, I realize I've started to embrace the differences among people. Maybe I've learnt that not everyone express their loves or thoughts the same? But I still believe in the importance of communication. Assumptions ruin a relationship. Should learn how to make someone comfortable in a conversation. Ahe.
Received a long message from Roshan last week. Which was totally unexpected lol. Like. Who will send a farewell message after one month? I feel bad for sending birthday wishes late. Haha. I'm really grateful that I still able to kacau some of my colleagues :P Why Darren buy them nice food after I left so unfair cries! However their crazy working hours make me worry thou. Can't imagine how my life would be in future. Hope my dear could understand that. He has been very busy too. :( Another concern is office politics. Can I cope with it? Am I being well treated because I was an intern who do nor bring harm to them?
Life in ICMS isn't as hectic as when I'm holding position as president in accounting society. Less dramas. Less problems. I really hate my university academic calendar! How I wish I could've joined the team in planning I2 or MPPC. :( Lets don't talk about how many opportunities I've missed cries. However I still try my best to contribute. Thanks to Samantha who pushed me to sign up for Summer Retreat, as I nearly gave up due to studies (that's why my assignment is still pending). Great time well spent! Since I barely involved in much planning of events, hence I guess Summer Retreat is a great chance for me to interact with the team in real life.
Sharing session by ANC is fruitful too. I can totally relate their sharing with my previous internship experience. Be genuine. It takes too much effort to fake. Why don't you spend more time on something more meaningful? E.g. sleep!
However after coming back from Summer Retreat I've been finding excuse for not exercising. Time to get my butt away from the chair!
To get some food :P not going gym sorry haha
Fighting huehue
