quick post & i’m outta here.

in case you’re wondering – why do i pour my heart & soul into this bachelor tinky.

(1) doin smt for myself.

only a handful of pple understand..
after advanced dip, i swear ‘no more school’

but at 27, i found myself back in class.
despite all d stress and whines, i’m happy.

i might not get the best grades and it doesnt matter.
it’s d whole idea of doing smt for myself, that’s my wow-factor, my motivtor.

i just wanna clear all modules.
what’s d secret to happiness?
the simple answer: contentment.

(2) the monies issue

i seen some of my classmates who took classes for granted, who proudly skip class or even 15% class quiz.  hey, go ahead. esp if you have rich parents who kindly folk out 20k

( fyi – my parents have the monies but its kinda duh?! expecting my parents to pick up the tab )

like i frequently say – monies is a motivator for all d hard work. 1 module cost 1550. i say thats helluva of motivation.

(3) all the time in the world. not.

One of the biggest challenges is time mgmt. balancing work, classes, assignments, slp, family, friends, pumpkin, me-time.
unlike full time students, luxury of otot (own time own target) doing research, meetin project mates, written report. part timers operate in a totally different style. i cramped whatever time i have into reading journals on train, giving up sleep and tv-time.
exams for full time students are a leisurely affair. for me, its crawling outta bed at 6am, coffee + study before heading off to the office. REPEAT. 5 days a week.

And the ‘best’ of all – are you ready for the shocker?
i took my exams last week and ta-dah, im back to classes.
another 2 modules, 3 mths, 4 assignments, 1 class test, weekly ‘homework’ and 2 exams.  

having say all that – im not in the position to whine. there are full time working adults cum parents in my classes. seriously. where do these ppl find time? *bow down to their time-mgmt skill.

side story

to illustrate how committed i am..
i was upset with pumpkin over taking a little break after exams.
kinda upsetting when i realised we cant make it.

frustrated. disappointed and ended up in tears..
i was still crying when doing my assignments.
it was tough.. one of the toughest thing i had to do.

why didnt i take a break? goodness, i was in tears !
deadlines to meet. things to do. life goes on.
take your pick.

alritey, i’m out.
gotta slp, i’m on 2 weeks intensive classes and there’s journals winking at me. 🙂
