For the semester is finally over!
This semester was tiring- mentally, socially and academically. The only good things about this semester are HAN101 Introduction To Anthropology as a whole and Ms. Winnee for PSY201 Advanced Research Methodology, as a person but not the subject. Sadly, the lecturer for HAN101 Introduction To Anthropology (Who is a senior lecturer and the same lecturer I had for HPH101 Introduction To Philosophy) is leaving. I am sad, because I loved her classes, and her as a person for she is awesome, although her knowledge intimidates me sometimes XD Going out on a lunch and shopping trip with her sometime this week…
I am quite confident I can pass all of my subjects. I might not get very shiny marks this time (And drag down my CGPA slightly), save for HAN101 Introduction To Anthropology, but I will pass nonetheless. After all, I did do my best, and most of the shit that happened is by no fault of mine.
A note to myself for the subsequent semesters: Never, ever allow tutors or lecturers, or even friends to randomly slot in people into our group assignments at the last minute, and if my gut feeling tells me that the person is bad news, he/she most likely is. I’ve learnt my lesson this semester and paid the price =_=
Going to have quite a long break, as the next semester commences on 11th May 2009. I will most likely be taking four subjects as opposed to three. Hopefully I can cope, but it shouldn’t be a problem XD My holidays will be spent catching up on things I want to do such as honing my Japanese, sleeping as much as I can to make up for the lack of sleep I’m experiencing and maybe revamp my room. Maybe.
Feeling rather bored last night, I stumbled on an interesting course I could consider for my Masters degree: Psychological And Psychiatric Anthropology :D It sounds so interesting (Also no thanks to the beloved lecturer who further fueled my interest in Anthropology)! I’m considering it, as well as Occupational Psychology (Which has always been my first choice, also known as Industrial/Organisational Psychology), depending on which one has less emphasis on research and more emphasis on application. Applied Psychology for the win!
This semester has made me so rant-y. Argh.
On a side note, I still can’t find a Twitter widget/application/plugin/tool thing for my sidebar that’s tailored to my tastes or looks the way I want it to :(
Now I am going to celebrate by playing on my Wii :D
Damn, that does sound like a nice course, though the “Psychiatric” is a turn-off for me.
From what I read, it doesn’t seem to emphasise too much on the “Psychiatric” side, so it should be fine. It’s more qualitative than quantitative, too, which is good for me XD
Though I DO wonder why it’s called Psychological and Psychiatric Anthropology. Why not just Psychological Anthropology? D: It’s not like we’re going to administer drugs- we can’t!
o_O That -is- weird. But yeah, you taking a quanti subject = pain. So Quali would be best for you. xD
Mmmmm, administering drugs…..
Yes, it’s weird indeed :P Quali with/or applied is the best for me XD Don’t get me wrong, I like research too, but stats is a pain and research isn’t that practical for me, so yeah, I’d focus more on application.
Aaah, the thought of it :D
