a series of fortunate events

Before I continue the posts on Germany, there are a few things I would like to touch on.


(1) I got the first exam back, and I got a High Pass! It's something like distinction if you translate it over. It's graded in Fail/Pass/High Pass. Well but I still have to talk to the teacher to have it translated to alphabetical grading or numerical grading like 5/7.5 credits, because NUS is troublesome like that.

(2) My final two module mappings are approved! Geography department rocks my socks. They're like super prompt, unlike my home department :/ So that means all my modules are approved wheeee. Yeah I should've gotten them approved before I even come here but I keep procrastinating. Thank God they're all settled now! Now I just have to find a way to pass Consciousness....which would be difficult :S But that's another story.

(3) Started my third module today, after a 35min search for the elusive classroom :/ What's up with the campus!?! Classrooms all over. Yeah so I was around 40mins late. So paiseh! And I couldn't even open the door; someone had to open for me from the inside :S Well anyway the point is, the professor is really nice. Like, because a lot of students told him that they have to go away sometimes in the middle and were worried about the exams, he told us that (something along the lines of this) "It is good that you are traveling around. You have every opportunity to explore the rest of Sweden, Scandinavia, other places." Then I thought he was going to say something like, but don't let your traveling plans affect your studies, but no! He said, "...And this is essentially what you're here for (traveling around) .... I will try my best to help you (regarding working out examinations)." He is so cool. I think partly because the module that he's teaching us is on globalization? Lol. Well then I guess it's only apt that he's encouraging us to travel ^^

Yeah but because one of the take-home examinations falls right smack in the middle of my next trip, that means I have to lug the 2Kg Max all the way there to do the essay ...:/ Plus any textbooks and readings. And work while playing! Work and travel. And there is a whole lot of readings to do for this module. Okay but at least it looks a whole lot manageable than Consciousness, which I'm totally clueless about.
