Having 2 papers DSC3201 and FIN2004 consecutively in a day (1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon) is taxing on the body and the mind. Nonetheless I think I should do rather okay for both.

And I'm damn elated now. Finance prof uploaded the exam marking scheme online and I calculated my score. 94/100! Even so, I'm not expecting an A or even a A- for this especially when the finance cohort is so competitive. B would suffice and I think I would no problem attaining this grade!

I think I made the wrong decision by changing my hair parting to the left.

Cant help but smile at this although I have no idea what they're talking about. Hitting the sack in a light mood!

Physical chem is too abstract for my liking

Third day into macroeconomics. Soon to be the fourth. The professor summarized 4 chapters of the textbook into a mere 30 slides. Hope this day will be the last I'll spend on this.

Maybe macroeconomics is not that difficult as I thought it'll be after all.

Exam conditions can be daunting. I redid my finance mid term and discovered I could have achieved at least the mean score too.

"Education is not for the sake of examination only. Education is to open up the eyes." - Prof LOH K.P. DEAN’S CHAIR PROFESSOR

How many professor out there emphasizes on this? And many of us actually take modules for the sake of learning and experiencing new knowledge? I believe everyone of us at some time is guilty of taking easy modules just to pull up the CAP score.

That aside, although it is not my choice, I've taken numerous business modules now and so far I've enjoyed them more than I did for chem modules even though I did really badly for them. I feel that the final grade is not the sole determinant of whether you've done well for the course or not, but rather whether you've enjoyed the process and picked up something useful to apply in the real life situation. After all, practical applications always, if not, most of the time differs from what is taught within the confines of the classroom. And again I have to emphasize, I really enjoyed this semester for two reasons. First, for the first semester of my tertiary education life I don't have to do lab! Second, theories I learnt in macroeconomics and finance are applied in real life situations. I'm glad I'm able to understand what is reported in the news. Although I might have to prepare myself for a shock when exam results are released.
