hahaha:D was just pondering over the main question of the day--- 'which university to go to - SMU or NUS?'
went for the mock smu seminar today in the morning. it was really good! like it motivates u to speak up and to air ur views and the lecturer doesn't laugh at ur suggestions at all. we were discussing 'is a happy person a motivated person?' hahaha:D didn't know tt there's actually a model for the formula for motivation! it's the House's something something. hahaha:D some of the stuff he said reminded me of the counselling seminar yesterday:D really cool. and the students were friendly and confident and sociable and everything. hahaha.
and it feels really good to know that not all pple can get in. there was this 4As student who couldn't get in 'cos his interview answers were ... the qn was like 'what's ur favourite number?' and he answered '88 'cos 8 means fortune'. ah well. of course, the interview's kinda worrying as well.
but the system is SO GOOD! my gosh. it'll make learning quite enjoyable. no tutorials, no lectures, just seminars. like 3 hours per module a week and u have four modules. so it's like only 12 hours of seminars a week:D and they count classroom participation in as well..like around 20-25% of the whole entire assessment. project work is 40% and 20% for end of yr exams and the rest for small tests and quizes. quite cool:D dun have to worry about slacking the whole time through 'cos u definitely HAVE TO participate in class so it's like u definitely have to read and know ur materials beforehand.
and it's a really cozy environment 'cos u know ur lecturers and everything.
although that really deters me is the business aspect! aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
we felt won over by smu after the whole thing. hahaha:D gosh.
ah well.
college day was cool too. hahaha:D sitting in the pt was much, much better than sitting in LT1 last yr with a fighting fish at ur feet. hahaha. andrea gave a really good speech! hahaa.
went for dinner with corinne, steph, dancing and ruxuan after college day. we went to mos (really cold), then walked around. i think everyone's quite tired..hhaaha:D
service tmr! yeah!
going for first service though. guess i won't see the uni pple. ah well:)
-that i may dwell in Your house forever,
lifting up Your name
dwell in Your house forevermore-
