Today, to commemorate the first time in a very long while I volunteered to wake up early (if you even consider 9am early) I’ve decided to finally post here. After all I do need a post at least every month. If I don’t do that, there will be drastic consequences. Hey, all I’m trying to do here is to save the world.
So in chronological order of the many, many issues I want to write about, here it goes:
I got an A grade (as opposed to the mean of B-) for Advanced Financial Accounting, i.e. what many accounting undergraduates define as the most technically difficult module ever. So difficult, a often-heard strategy is to go for local exchange at NTU just so as to take the equivalent module there, just so that your GPA will not get affected.
Please don’t take me wrongly, for I’m not gloating here. After all I got a B- for the easiest module in SMU (Leadership and Team-Building.) Rather, I’m really glad that hard work does pay off sometimes in SMU (heh) and well I do need the As to roll in in order to save my GPA. And currently I don’t have latin words on my transcript.
But all that effort has been wasted when I totally screwed AMA. I nearly failed the exam and ended with a final grade of B-. Haha. SMU life is killing me. Haha. The great thing was that my group project got an A grade, something that David, Chong Min and I are really proud of considering we literally had only 2 weeks to prepare for it. Talk about crisis management.
So the past two weeks after exams have been spent bumming around at home. Gone out a number of times for dinner with friends, but well to be honest I’ve just been stoning around at home. I tried play FM2008 but I totally suck at it. And then I decided to play some GBA games. Mario Tennis is really great but short, while Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga only made me want to buy a Wii even more. Haha.
I’ve exhausted most gaming options, so it came as a really pleasant surprise when I received an invite to Beta test Football Manager Live! This means I get to play it for free! For around one month I guess. Haha. I really do want to subscribe once the full version launches, but it really depends on how much it’s going to cost. It’s not in USD guys, it’s in GBP. Ouch.
I’ve decided (at least at this point in time) to apply for this marketing internship on OnTrac. I’ve already more or less given up hope on any career in marketing since I couldn’t secure a good marketing internship in the summer, but this internship will really help kill time. All 8 weeks of it till school starts. Sustained bumming around is pretty hard I tell you. But I still wouldn’t take up an internship if it isn’t any good. And from the detailed job description and requirements, it seems at least that the company is serious about getting an intern, and not just a saikang warrior to do miscellaneous stuff. And of course there’s the pretty decent internship allowance. =)
Two more semesters to school. I still have to decide if I want to continue my marketing major, or simply drop it and thus two modules. Decisions, decisions.
Life.
