Time flies. My first week of Poly is nearly over. Timetable is manageable, especially on Thursdays and Fridays where its very light. Modules and all appear to be rather straightforward, par the new chunk of terms I will now need to commit to memory. Another comfort is that for my Applied Statistics, which is mostly math, more formulas and more terminology, I seem to be able to do all them tutorials and assignments without any problems. Which also makes me the first person people turn to for help. Rather frustrating. Areef, how I miss your presence in math-related classes.
On seperate notes, I'm still considering my options for CCA. Nothing really struck me when I went to the CCA Fiesta. What a waste. But I want to get as many CCA points as I can after my 3 years, and also because I so desperately want to qualify for a scholarship. So, the search goes on. Currently, I'm considering Current Affairs Club and a couple more. I've seen their notices, which are simple pieces of A4 size paper with a question related to some recent piece of news and then the Club's details.
What appeals to me most, is the opportunity to challenge my brain beyond my modules. What makes this crucially important is because I have chosen to distance myself from the majority of my class who like to do everything together, which sadly involves lunch, making the benefit of being a large group nonexistent. So anyway, I've gathered quite a little following of people who also dislike such a big and rowdy group (I think they view me as Chief Loner). And then, among them all, is this girl who is like 4 years older than me, and went through the ITE route to get here. Her learning pace is really slow. Really, just through ASTATS, she kept on wondering what the teacher meant, and I have to explain again and again. I hope she got it, because I'm stuck with her in all my group projects for all modules, and because she is so clingy, she followed me into Yoga for S&W. Jeez... She keeps reading the location for the next class wrongly. WTP!
But before my esteemed comrades return me the arrow I fired onto one of them regarding Elitism, let me make my balanced viewpoint now. There are certain good things about having her. Firstly, her handwriting is good, and she practically copies everything from the whiteboard, and also, she keeps track of what assignments or tasks are due and by when, so I feel slightly more relieved having her to remind me. But then, I will not be complacent and end up relying on her. they will only have to end up relying more of ME than I to THEM.
Anyway, I closed my personal blog, so such lengthy posts with me exposing my raw emotions/thoughts are going to be common, provided I do post.
