I'm in University!
written on Friday, January 3, 2014 @ 4:47 PM ✈
Guess what! One semester is over. I still find it a little hard to comprehend that I'm in university actually; it always seemed like a faraway thing. But yes, growing to accept that and about becoming older. I think there has been a huge blank from my JC life to this point of time on my blog so here's what has happened... After A-levels, with the long break, I have gone on a trip to Taiwan with 3 of my squadmates (yay). And the best part was getting to enter the studios of 百分百, it was totally a once in a life time experience, and not forgetting the awesome food and places in that wonderful country. I also got certified as a first aider, worked at a restaurant and florist and also attended CIBTC as an instructor. It may not seem the most packed schedule, but I think the break was good and well spent overall :) Right, so after a long and tough ride getting my results, choosing my university, I finally got things settled. I too realised Pei Yin is going to be my coursemate and we decided to apply for hall together. Oh yes, I went for hall camp. Haha. It is interesting to hear stories about school from seniors actually before going for camp. For example, hearing about school work, STARS or hall life. The camp was pretty long and I got to meet many different people, especially those from Spartans. There were lots of activities (although some were surprising to me, different from other types of camps) but the tricky thing was that I had to shuttle between area camp and hall camp so that was tiring to some extent. I think it was an interesting opening to university for me though! Glad to see that most people were rather welcoming and friendly; just go in with an open mind. Apart from hall, it was great to meet the nice professors who are rather enthusiastic about what they teach in Linguistics. The content is intriguing and interesting from my point of view so I think I should be enjoying my studies! Of course, not all is easy and there are times where the work gets tough and complicated, that is when I need to sit down and rationalise. It is pretty cool because not many people dabble in this area of study and it helps me view things from an alternate perspective (not the usual way). So far, the people in my course are good to get along with too, although I have yet to really work on any projects so I will see how that goes! I heard that Linguistics work are based mostly on projects, but more in the upper levels. It is only when examinations are closing in that I discovered that each semester is really short, as compared to normal school terms in the past. Examinations were stressful, but partially because I took exams while being in CIBTC, booking in and out. It meant having to study in the wee hours of the day as I took my squad in the day. I fell asleep in my books at times > < It would have definitely been easier to just stay in hall and to plainly study but it really challenged my management of myself, having to prepare to teach and also remember my school content together. It definitely helps to understand lectures prior but in any case note to self: Avoid doing this again whenever possible! Now the semester is over and holidays are happening, let me share what I have been up to :D I am going back to my unit for campcraft competition training (really hoping the girls can show THEIR want) and being involved in CCC for NPCC. Besides that, in hall, I am happy to have been training for hockey (in fact since before exams) and play in IHG. It was sad that we could not play on in the next few rounds but it was a fun experience meeting the people on the team! The game helped me in seeing things on a deeper level, and thinking more critically. I never saw some things in a certain way before; it opened up my mind (kind of) if I have to put it into words, in terms of how to move and react to situations. At a later point, I started training a little for basketball too. It was nice to see familiar people inside the girls' team :) At the moment, there will also be HOCC coming up but I need to figure that out. There should be a few more hall things coming up for various subcommittees so I shall keep my eyes peeled for that. Okay, enough of this long post for now. Hope everyone has been doing well! With the ushering in of 2014, I'm wondering about my resolutions/goals and about turning 1 year older this year. Hmm how is that going to feel? At this point of time, I truly hope I will be able to strike a balance between work, ties and play in this coming months and do things with no regrets (: I shall try to post more! 0 comment[s] | back to top |
