Another long weekend :)
Life is seriously awesome for the month of February. I love work, enjoy the company I keep, bask in the freedom I'm given, get to keep my angpaus (for the first time in my life) and am learning loads! Real life working experience really is different. Comparing the me now and the me back in December, I feel that I have made miles of progress. Psychologically I've changed a lot too. My perception of things has altered greatly, to an extent that sometimes scares me when I think of it. It's kind of hard to describe, but it's a personal journey that I undertook and I understand. I've grown wiser, I hope. Education wise I've actually picked up AutoCAD from scratch and am actually capable of simple drafting! Everything that used to baffle me now works splendidly. It's amazing, really, when I think about what I didn't know and what I do now.
I absolutely dread the arrival of March. I swear you'd have to drag me back to Limkokwing. My past experiences there make me cringe. Education has never been so... futile. Many lecturers are sub par, and newly graduates are allocated entire classes to teach themselves under the rank "tutor". Supposedly only those with at least a Masters degree should be able to handle classes of that level. We're in our degree, hello! Why on earth would we want people with a degree to teach us? They are underqualified, having no actual working experience apart from their internship.
Oh gosh I really should stop ranting about my university. I could go on and on, and no action would be taken because they turn a deaf ear to your complaints, or ask you to file your complaint at a certain department, who would direct you to another department, and you'll go on a merry-go-round ride that exhausts you. And at the end of the day, the various departments in the university would say "We did not receive the information from XXX department.", and the story ends. By that time, you'd be too tired to care. It's just so convenient to pass the ball to others and keep your hands clean. Miscommunication errors are just so handy!
I want February to last forever and ever :(
Learning should be like how I spent my holidays -- relaxing, enjoyable and self motivating! Not like in university where you do every assignment reluctantly, cursing and swearing when the due dates approach, suffer from hair loss and terrible skin complexion and feel the frustration mount from coursemates who always try to interrogate you and check on your assignment scores (yeah some people are lifeless just like that).
Also, I'm doing a personal research project, which I hope to complete before the end of my holidays. I really hope that I'll have the discipline to finish it!
Okay, so that's all for now. Till next time!
