yet another day of memories...
Can't say the same for the other happenings.
The whole NUS exchange is simply too upsetting
NUS students, I really don't mean this post to offend.
I am just sharing my own views about the exchange
If you think you cannot accept my sharing,
Don't read on
As I was saying,
It was a nightmarish Tuesday
After registration,
I had to manually walk from department to department
To arrange for tutorials and "beg" for addition of modules.
Can you imagine if i had taken 5 modules?
NUS ain that small
Lucky for me, I had Wendy for company..
Otherwise, I think I would have had broken down.
From the lady who snapped at me
Cuz I din write down the tutorial class numbers for Jap
and thus couldn't effectively register
To the business department,
Where we were referred from one office to another
Only to speak to another lady
Who told me to wait til my timetable came out on Friday
Then I could add/drop online
Since Business School has their own special program
Only to have her change her words
After I probed further and explained that I was not givn any business modules at all.
Her conclusion: I could be put on the appeal list..
My conclusion: The Business system is too confusing. She did not convince me
I walked out of there..
Totally utterly feeling defeated
Blisters had formed on my feet
I don't know how to carry on.
Decided to proceed after awhile
Thanks to Wendy's encouragement
Which she did it unknowingly.
I really need to learn to appreciate the people around me more.
Thanks alot Wendy-dear
Went to the Sociology department then
Where the staff was not at all sure
Of what I wanted
Only finally to realise and inform me
Tutorial registration starts 2 weeks later for them.
My wish list:
-For them to have a united system as a school
-To be able to convince me of the necessity of many systems otherwise
Anyway.. my plan was then to drop whatever I am doing
And to just stick with what I had
Which is 3 modules at SMU;
And 1 at NUS
Which is pretty crap for an exchange..
But I am really not prepared to go through everything again otherwise
But NUS system doesn't allow me to do that again!
I can't drop modules online..
Contrary to what I was told.
*faintz
So my solution now:
Email the NUS registrar,
See what they say,
And if I really need to,
Rope in SMU registrar to help me.
This whole exchange is really wreaking havoc on my studies
Can't even start studying in peace.
I abhor such uncertainity
May it all improve.
My patience is running low.
My fuse is running short.

Dreams
To be out and open
Independence
To be totally Christ-like
I believe that:
Courage is not an absence of fear
but the willingness to face up to the circumstances in spite of the fear.
