It's time for uni rants yet again!
(Friday, September 4, 2009/10:38 AM)
I'm sooo tired... Remember that I mentioned that I finally finished my assignment last Saturday in my last post? Well, I didn't have too much time to celebrate. A new wave of assignments beckons. (=.=) Here's a breakdown of my weekly workload.
1) 4-8 hours of programming for my computer graphics assignment (since I'm new to OpenGL & C, usually it would hit 8 hours, rather than just a bare minimum of 4 hours)
2) I'm taking another computing module entitled Digital Media Production, where we become directors and producers, learning how to make good films. I spend 4-6 hours weekly for project meetings, write the reports and do the actual filming. If video editing is necessary, add in another 2 hours.
3) 2-3 hours of doing statistics tutorial (and I must do it, cos' participation counts to my grade grrr)
4) 2 hours spent on 2 weekly readings from NM3224 Culture Industries
5) 1-2 hours spent to prepare NM3224 tutorial (this is worse... 20% participation grade =.=)
6) 2-4 hours reading up and drafting my NM3224 individual essay
7) 2 hours to read through 3-4 chapters of a library book and take down notes, which is the basis of a book review assignment in NM4218 Knowledge Management
8) 2 hours for NM4218 group project
Bear in mind that these are all raw hours. I don't claim to study 10 hours, and watch a few TV shows in between, or take a long elaborate dinner break.
Taking the maximum, it's about 29 hours per week. In comparison to the CHC standard for JC students which is 15 hours, it's almost twice as much if I intend to work extra harder. And also, this is just the bare minimum to get through my assignments. I've not even accounted for self-revision time! =S
So, why am I wasting time typing this post? I don't know. I just had a massive headache yesterday cos' I was too ambitious and wanted to rush through a few assignments, so I had better relax for awhile today before heading to school.
Even spending 2-3 hours preparing my sermon yesterday disrupted my study schedule so much, that I was doing tutorials way past 12 midnight. Wow, must I really be a hermit this semester? I'm so ill-prepared for the preaching later... I pray that God will make things right as I dedicate my time to Him.
Alright, cya guys for yet another exciting episode of CGM! =)
