Whether you like it or not, since I have to digress, I will write about my 4201 exam.
Nothing I could have done about it beforehand - really. It was horrible exam technique and the fact that you probably need 1000 WPM (words per minute) in order to write a really good paper - or rather an extra hour to really sort out a good answer.
I wrote a medicor answer and was glad to move onto the second question with 45 mins left. I thought fair anough - at least I kept to timing it. Well, this is where it all went downhill. Spent about 20 mins word-whoring about this nonseical direct question from the notes on global media economy - and with about 25 minutes left, I even did worse on the b part and wrote crap. This cotinuted till had 12 marks to do in 5 minutes. Inspiration came but so did the inviligilator and I was able to answer probably something that I would have otherwise been able to write rather well.
This is likely to be my worst semester - wholly my fault. Focused on all the wrong things. Still focusing on all the wrong things - but hey, I am not even getting a freaking job ... so really does it matter?
BUT I still would like to maintain my second-upper - however, the Dean's Office has just shot down my request to map a module - so guess what, I have a thesis and 6-7 other modules in my final semester. Of course, this is fair. Because you are in NUS and here we put paid to the rules - to hell with real education - as long as we follow this script here, we will do fine.
Fuck all. Hate the way I do things but all I really want is a job. Nothing else.
