Indeed i think it has. But i've expected it to happen already. I knew from the start of this sem that school will be more stressful than last sem. Everyone probably knows they have to buck the heck up to improve their grades and all. People have begun mugging. I havent. I have no idea what's wrong with me. I have to buck up. It doesnt help that Im surrounded with people who's CAP are way above average yet are ungratefully whinning, saying it isnt good enough. Sod off. Nothings good enough for you people is it? I got what i got and heck im happy but each time i hear one of you ppl lament about how you didnt do well [but HAH! you got an A], you make me feel worse okay. So stop that. Sheesh. To think some of them arent even aware that they"re whining. But im not gonna let you off. I will tell it to your face to shuddup if any of you do that again. I mean i love you guys and thank you for somewhat subconsciously making me push myself harder but you really gotta know when to sod it and shut the heck up. Nobody likes a boast-er.
Also, i have finally found my direction in swaps. Ive had meetings with a couple of lecturers and im gaining confidence. Yes, i was absoultely lost when i came into office last sem but heck, im finally getting it. We have big plans indeed. Big plans that i hope would materialise. First up, im i/c of organising this dialogue thing for students, involving working social workers and psychologists. In a way this would overlap with the job fair and give students an insight to the possible avenues they can take upon graduation. I"ll be liasing with organizations/individuals from SASW/SPS so that would be a mega huge experience for me. In fact, im hoping that my big plans to conduct a forum involving Vivian balakrishnan at the end of this year happens. Its not a long shot...i just need to start planning now for next sem. My partner, shaun, is handling the internship stuff and social services awareness programme. I hope that my term in swaps would be fruitful. I want to do a good job. Im gonna make sure my successors have a distinct idea of what the acads cell does. History will not repeat itself. or at least i hope. [no offence to my predeccessors, of course]
That aside, im also gonna be handling the FOC publicity. Came up with a title for the camp and eugene okay-ed it but im trying to come up with more innovative ones. Its like advertising. Again, the invaluable experience. Im not sure whether im going to france anymore. Chin yong says its a waste of money. He went and said it was boring. So now im only 30% sure im going. Besides, if i leave, i"ll have to leave my pubs work to someone i trust. Ive suggested cheryl and melinda. I know they"ll do a good job but im also sure they"ll have plans for the hols themselves. Either way, im sure it wouldnt be a big problem. I can plan everything before i leave, should i choose to go.
Alright, tomorrow's hari raya haji. I dont really think ppl say "selamat hari raya" but oh well, SELAMAT HARI RAYA!
Too bad the whole family wont be around. My brother's still in Aceh. Have i mentioned how so immensely proud i am of him?
Okay, im gonna go mug now. In central library now. I'm gonna try and salvage as much time i have before i head home to the 'festivities' (great, my dad just called and he wants me back home early.) and get side-tracked. I'm already way behind in my readings. I need to catch up before tutorial commences.
Alright, I'm out of here!
