1st day of school

Hello!

today marks the 1st day of school for me, it also marks the official ending of my 9 months long holiday and i'm no longer a slacker. because for the next 2years, i will be kept busy with studies and i'm gonna work as hard as i can to achieve the best results. there will no longer be any long holidays(longest being 2weeks) and everything is brand new so i shall make this chapter of my life different from the previous one.

for this whole week of school, there will only be lectures since tutorial will be starting on the 2nd week of school. so i'm still considered quite free as i end school like 11am or 12pm everyday. but i guess the best thing about my timetable is that i don have school on most of the thursdays. so which means that i'm having a 4-day school. not bad right!

but i also know that the next 2years will not be that easy to get through because i'm studying some very foreign modules(t0 me) except for economics. today's lecture was about "managing an organization" and of course, the beginning was easy to comprehend but i believe what comes after in the next few weeks will be complicated. first day of lecture and we are told about the assignment that will be due on the 4th week. it's an essay assignment which is suppose to be not less than 1200 words and i totally couldnt really understand the question at all. the question goes something like this, "Critically discuss the notion that Scientific Management was a 'good' idea in the history of management thinking.". Me and my friend were like "huh" at the question and we both agreed that it is some chimalogy stuff.

and there needs to be a lot of research done because we have to get reference from at least 6 different academic sources ranging from textbooks to journals and of course, Internet! and by using wikipedia, we will get a fail grade immediately because the information there can be provided by any human beings and its accuracy is being questioned. speaking of which, i was reminded of the times when we were doing project work in jc and we were quite dependent on wikipedia.

tomorrow's lecture from 9-11am on business decisions and statistics. i'm hoping that the stats is not what we learnt in jc because that was somehow kind of my nightmare. but whatever comes along, just gotta work hard. i don know why but i do feel kind of motivated actually. perhaps it's because of what i went through with a's. it was a real wake up call and it's very effective, i'm truly motivated and promised myself that i will work hard this time round so as to make every cents paid for the course worth it. and of course, don let myself be a reason for my family to be disappointed. so yes, work hard for this 2years and i know that international students are really hardworking and score well most of the time. Fyi, my course has many international students so must work as hard as them. be a real mugger and be proud of it! *WINKS*

as a motivated student, i'm going to get down to my research on the eassy assignment cos the outline will be due in the 4th week. we even need to come out with an essay outline that will not be graded but still constitutes a small portion of the results at the end of this trimester. So, that's all for today. bye!
