One down, five to go

Jul 282009

Im glad that my first semester is over. All those nightmares about not being able to pass because of very bad time management from me and the lecturer also, can finally go to rest. But not for long, because i’ve just started my second semester last weekend…and this semester onwards, i have to WORK.

Another two subjects this semester – Econ and Marketing. Both of them really interesting giving that the lecturers are quite experienced in their own field. Never failing to give suitable examples to help us understand. It’s always interesting to learn something totally new as i come from a very different background from what im studying now. Knowing how crude oil prices can never show their true value because they get manipulated too much by big companies, government and OPEC, knowing how a simple concept of demand and supply can not only affect pricing and quantities but so many other things including national security. Of course there are a lot of ceteris paribus assumptions. Anyway, in marketing, we were told that customers are not always right and the trick is that we just need to make them feel right. -.- Shucks! all these while my feelings have been cheated by the sellers la! *&$@$%()!$%

Interesting as it is to me, im worried about the exams because i hate exams with a lot of writing and case studies. It’s very different from the usual number calculations i get for my undergraduate exams. I dont usually do well :( Very unfortunate also, i’ll have to miss at least 4 of my total 16 classes this semseter because of work! $hit

On the other hand, results for both subject i took in my first semester were unexpected – one better and another worst. Heck, I didnt know what to feel when i got my results. Mixed feelings. See first one i want to smile, then see second one, want to cry. Good if i can control and let tears come out of one eye and leave the other one dry T.= (get it?)

Still, miracles do happen. wtf. Only once i guess…
