Today was the fourth day of the first week of the second school semester. Today, I went to school for only 1 lesson. And the spoiler of the day was, just less than a minute after arriving in school, I saw half of the class going home. Well, I guess that's just the tip of the iceberg of what most students who have to repeat a module experience, though in my case, it's a case of the timetabling where some go for their lessons early, while some go for the same lessons later. The next best thing was that I finally found someone who was in the same class as me! I had thought that I was going to be the only one from my class going to attend that module during that time slot.
The module is Communication Toolkit, an English-natured module that covers speech and writing. Basically, it's just the toning up of our communication skills to be at the professional level, so as to help most of us kill the fear of public speaking. Over a period of 13 weeks, I would be doing assignment after assignment of writing. That's my favourite part of the module, as the more I write, the more excited I get. There are also research skills and public speaking skills involved, so with writing skills implemented into the module, that's what makes the module package complete.
After 2 hours, I went home, slept for an hour, before leaving for school again. Today, I made the next step to joining a fourth CCA in school. I'm still unsure about whether I should join as an official member, or have a 3 month trial first, to ensure that I can cope with my studies before I take on the additional burden. Oh, the fourth CCA I intend to join is Taekwondo. It's under the Singapore Federation, so I guess I would be learning the art again as a white belt, as I was from a different Federation all along since 2003 when I first started.
At 9pm, when it ended, I headed home. The next one hour, though it seemed like a normal routine, it was the toughest hou of the day. The first, was whether I should give myself a chance and continue to pursue something that I left alone months ago. Well, it sure took a couple, an email and coincidence to get it going once again. Next up, was whether I should seriously join a fourth CCA, as up to now, I have no problem with just 3. And apart from that, my CCA point bank is doing well so far with 8 points to date. Even my parents are encouraging me to join the CCA, but I'm not sure if I should join as the opportunity cost is greater this time round, for I'm going to give up 2 days a week for the next 5 semesters. Holidays might even be included and added to the time it's going to take. Maybe I'll talk to some of my friends in another CCA to get their advice on whether I should take up a fourth CCA and then make my choice on Monday. Currently, I'm going to say Yes, I am going to join a fourth CCA, for the main reasons are to make more friends and at the same time, maintain my fitness and bring it to a greater level.
Anyway, here's the preview to the last day for the first week of the new semester. All the core modules have been revealed, but have all the tutorials and lectures for each module been experienced for the first time? There's going t be 3 breaks for me tomorrow. How am I going to deal with all that spare time? The last part of the five day series, do visit again tomorrow night to know more!
Once again, I took a gamble. If I saw you for 2 consecutive days, I would continue from where I stopped, and make the move real soon. Whether or not it's going to be successful, it sure would be a good experience, just like the previous times.
Whether I should really join a fourth CCA, I always thought that it's going to be a good thing, until today, when I saw for myself that it might not be easy after all, to juggle between a CCA that takes up 2 days a week, two other CCAs that each occupy a day a month and my studies, which have become relatively more difficult this semester. If I maintain my first semester's pace, might end up seeing more Cs than Bs, or worse, not a single A grade at all this semester. I really do hope I can make up my mind before Saturday for both thoughts.
