5 for 5

yes this is an update of my life.

when the bidding of modules goes well, i will always be really thankful. the modules that are i want have been successfully bided after round 2A. i never love to go into extra rounds of bidding to fight again and again for the modules i hope to get. however, this semester seems good considering that i have gotten all those modules i want in the shortest time possible. what's a bonus on top of that is teh fact that all cost me the cheapest "price" possible. five modules for five points. so thankful for the smooth rounds of bidding.. or maybe i am interested in some unpopular modules among my peers. nonetheless.. yeah bidding done. time to wait for the start of the new year.

speaking of the start of the new academic year, it is really surreal to know that i am entering the second half of probably the last stage of my education life. yes, i am very sure that i will be going to year 4 and finish my honours year with a FYP. whatever further education after this degree will not be in my consideration for at least the next 5 years i guess. i have other goals and what not in mind. okay.. side tracking too far. so yeah, year 3 and some of the modules include students in the last year or same year as me. would be interesting to see the landscape of the class. furthermore, one of the module i am taking has less than 30 students as of now as well.. wonder how it will turn out to be.

it is now Thursday. left few more days to enjoy my really short summer break. until next time then, cheers.

electing elective

yes this is an update of my life.

the break i am having prior to the start of school has been good so far. the bidding process for modules has been alright so far as well. the core modules i am taking this coming semester are all secured with just one point each. no stress in bidding is the best thing one could ask for. of course, deciding on the modules and arranging the timeslots prior to bidding can be a slight headache. even up to now, i am still seating on the fence when it comes to deciding which elective module to take and bid tomorrow.

yeah.. currently 4 core modules are at hand and i just need to figure out one more elective module to take. my decision is really split between two modules now.. EC2101 and ACC1002X. both are modules that i am rather interested in among those that can fit into my current timetable of course.. with no clashing of class timeslots and exam dates. both have steep bellcurve.. something i don't really like but ohh wells.. still can survive the wrath. the two main differences will be the class timings and exam dates.. duh. EC2101 class timings are alright and exam timing is in between two of the core exam dates. ACC1002X, if i were to choose the cheapest slot, would be 8am lectures. i would definitely lean to the cheapest slot for the other slots are not worth that much points.. or rather, i am not willing to pay that much. as for exam, it will be a day after my first paper.

so you see.. both modules are giving my a hard time to decide which of them to choose. sigh.. i have slightly more than a day left to figure this out.

bidding aside, now i have another thing to do as well.. okay make that two. buying of essentials for my hostel stay and getting few new outfits. just moved into PGP the other day.. a new room.. a better one.. thank goodness. it is the same level as the carpark and very near the laundry area.. woohoo. the room layout has changed so adjustments have to be made and i'm still in midst of it. getting those essentials later. as for new outfits.. yeah, probably later too. hopefully all can be done by today. until next time then, cheers.
