Listen to yourself

It's the seasonal period of adding and dropping courses (aka modules). Moving into the final semester, courses that are easy and project-free are the most popular. However, how easy is easy? As we all know, different people interpret "easy" differently.

So I was coaxed into dropping Web Services for one of these: Wireless or Digital Communications, both rumoured to be easy. Web Services is deemed unpopular because there is a project, which we final year student don't really like because we want to channel our energy resources in our FYP. But for me, Web Services is one module which I have confident in getting a B, at least.

Anyway, I dropped Web Services, and wanted to take Wireless, but it clashed with my Database. So I choose Digital Communications, but the time - table was no longer pretty, as in I don't have a 4-day week anymore, so I dropped my Computer Security and thinking of getting the register office to get fit me into one of the Wireless class so that I can squeeze into 4-days again. I was thinking of going to the office when I talked to another friend, and she said she had a friend failing Digital Communications! Exactly the kind of news I didn't want to know, so she recommended Telecommunications Systems.

In any case, another friend showed me the notes for Telecomm and I immediately knew that I wouldn't get pass this module. Although it was memory work, but, calculations taunted me, for I will make careless mistakes and still think I'm correct.

Anyway, after struggling with decisions and the system, I'm back to square one: i.e. I'm back to my original timetable; taking the courses I dropped (I couldn't snatch it back already).

I already got my preferred slots and the time-table was soothing to the eyes: 4-days week, and the breaks in between were justifiable (long breaks irks me). Because I was not firm enough, my decision was swayed by "rumours" and ended up in a shitty situation. Now I'm afraid that I won't be allocated my preferred slots, then time-table will be so haywire, what if I can't get back the slot I planned with my friends and I would be so alone. Boo-hoo-hoo.

I really shouldn't be so fickle-minded, I had done the homework of checking the past exam papers, I should know what modules fit me. Unlike the past where I don't have the choice to decide what I want to study and thus screwing up every exam. Now that I can choose what is best for me yet I blindly followed what people said. Now, I felt like I'm running to join the others only to realise I'm in the wrong path and hurt my legs somemore.
