This Is Me

A daily unhappy entry as opposed of the usual daily happy entry.

I’m typing in this entry with heavy eyes. The reason being that I have not slept since yesterday! I’ve been working hard on my school assignment.

The past week has been a very tough week. We basically had two PBL subjects. If you don’t know what is PBL, let me give you a brief walkthrough.

PBL stands for problem-based learning. A PBL subject basically is about solving problems, real life problems humans like you and me encounter. PBL subjects are not like our typical subjects we’ve been taught in secondary school. In a PBL class, we are given a problem and then we would have to research on the internet or library to find a solution. There’s no usual spoon feeding from teachers.

Imagine having 2 PBL assignments due within the same week and they are only a day apart. The thing about PBL is that it requires a lot of time and individual researching and self study.

I’ll just get straight to the point. We pretty much did quite well for our first PBL assignment on Monday which was a subject called Business Integrated Technologies.  A second PBL assignment for Distributed Systems and Connectivity is due on Wednesday.

Mind you it is a programming subject. It’s not easy. We were too focused on Business Integrated Technologies to the point that we didn’t have enough time for Distributed Systems and Connectivity.

My groups and I finished our presentation and in my opinion, it went horrible. Basically we are suppose to design an application based on distributed systems.

I didn’t have time to complete my application and most of the functions are not working. Thus, I was standing infront of the class and talking like a fool without sleep and groggy.

My teacher asked whether if she gave us another day, will I be able to complete it?

That question seems to signify that I did not manage to complete to even hit the passing criteria and she’s considering giving me a second chance.

I shall not continue my blabber about how it’s tough for polytechnic students to enter into local university.

All I’m saying is that I’m upset.

I started a new category on my blog since I decided to be more optimistic. It’s called “Daily Happy”. Basically, each day, I’ll make a post in this category about what made me happy.

I smiled genuinely for the first time in months. That made me happy.

What made you happy today?

With a blink of an eye, I’ve completed my first half of my second year in Temasek Polytechnic. Another blink and who knows I might be sitting in that barber chair and shaving my beautiful hair off in preparation for NS.

All is left is with our main exams and then it’s my final goodbye to my current classmates.

To be honest, I hate most of the people in my class. Well Hate is strong word. I actually categorized them into various categories. They are mainly, Hate, Dislike, Neutral, Exceptional. Now I don’t want to disclose such information onto a public platform. I don’t want any drama to happen. However, if you do want to know it, feel free to hit me up on MSN.

I’m still in disbelief that time actually flies very fast. Even though I said that like umpteen times.

Basically, today is our last day of school. In the morning, i was feeling lackadaisical and a little sick to the point that i could barf anytime.

I gathered up my determination and willpower to get up and get ready for school.

LIES.

Actually, ever since I started schooling at Temasek Polytechnic, I’ve NEVER and I mean NEVER receive a warning letter before. If I were to skip the french class again, I’ll be getting my first warning letter. The thought of breaking my record of not getting warning letters doesn’t seem to entice me that much.

It turns out only six people turned up for our class. We combined with another french class that only had two students. I’m gonna miss French dearly. It is one of my favorite subjects. It’s one of those class where by you actually enjoy learning it.

Nonetheless, CSAD in the afternoon was rather brief. It’s only then I realized that this is really the last day of school and the last time I’ll be seeing my classmates in my classroom.

IT Block Level 5 Labs got a renovation and they apparently got a room full of iMacs! I reckon it’s eMac, designed for use in educational institution.

Yes, the image quality is rather flattering. It’s the 17″ Screen, White.

It’s pretty old. New iMacs are silver, like mine! But still, MACS WILL CONQUER THE WORLD.

I was literally ventilating and i was standing super close to the door.
