Its 3.07am, 1st Jan 2013 as I begin this entry of my recollection of 2012. I have been procastinating this for the past 5 hours or so. In between were fireworks, new year greetings (&birthday wishes to K) and a chat with J on whatsapp, trying to log into my blog after abt a year and reading past entries.It's funny how I am unable to recall some of those mentioned incidents that I felt so strongly back then.
This blog is like a secret haven to the inner me. If I was able to transfer all my self- thoughts and reflections that sprouts up on every day to be added in here, the blog would be consistently adding new entries. So my point of this will be 2012 and let's not digress. :))
Beginning of 2012 marked the last semester in NUS as an undergraduate. Plus this was the sem that I just needed to do 4 modules thanks to my special semester during my Year 1 break. it was to be 3 core modules and an elective. Modules taken: Human Pharmacology (P), Human Physiology: hormones and health (H), neurobiology (N) and Arabic 1 (A). Well, these were not my initial combination though. 2012 came in the form of headache and stress just in the first few weeks it started. Human Pharm was not in the list earlier. What was? I recall it to be some molecular basis of diseases (M). Drugs and society (D) to replace Arabic. For simplicity, I'm gonna give the modules letters to represent them.
With H, N, M and D, I was all set for free days and possible free days where I could simply watch webcasts from home. But that satisfaction didnt last long. It came as a shock when M scared me with a lecture presentation of a project topic. Our lab sessions scared me further and I cant recall further than that.. But after that 1st lab session, 2/3 of my friends decided to drop the module to switch to another. I didnt do so with them cos I had module clashes which I had to settle first. And I decided to try the module despite my friends calling it quits. But the next lecture? Was content overload. that was it. I had to drop the module. It was the 2nd week of school I think with CNY round the corner.. after deciding what I needed to change to fit my timetable, i went back the 3rd week to get it all done. Bleh. I had to see the prof to join the module. I did so cos it was my last semester - desperate max. But he refused flatly.
That's when even desperate measures kicked in and I looked for any core module that fitted my timetable and P was good. CORS administrator called me up after receiving my appeals and advised me to look the lecturer straight and email him so that he can make necessary adding. P lecturer was Dawe. He was really nice in replying me..unlike 2 others. So yes, so I got his approval to do this on condition that I drop D. Unfortunately P clashes with D. There you go. Drop D and find A, completing my language goals until the very last semester. So yea, these are my 4 modules after much stress. I should have known that that was just the beginning.
