A3DA.
A course I am undertaking in Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
The current year 1 modules are quite disappointing. It's quite simple to score.
But it's only the 1st semester, so I think I'll stick around for a bit. Besides, the 2nd semester modules seem to be more interesting.
My coursemates are okay. All of us agree that we enjoy the fact that our class is rather "quiet", as the module tutors put it.
Nothing to complain about them.
It's just the course.
There's a horrible lack of instructions and guidance in a few of the modules. I mean, they don't even teach how to carry out the APA referencing format and they demand it of us.
I should feedback this to them.
Putting my criticism aside, I am doing "fine". Though I might have to sleep at 2am everyday; sometimes 3-4 am for major projects. It's kind of hard work if you don't manage your workload well. I find myself rushing work at the last minute or the day before the dateline. I just want to mash my face for doing that. However, life in a poly is a welcome change to life in secondary school. I don't have to worry about meeting anyone's expectations, save for myself.
I'm quite scared of lagging behind, even though i know I'm one of the "better" students. Better meaning I have yet to score a C. I have a small small small panic attack when I score a B+ for any project. Someone told me that so long I keep up a mix of As and Bs, I should have no problem getting a GPA of at least 3.5. But this is not enough.
I want at least 3.8, because that's how much it takes to get into University.
Maybe more.
I am scared of planning where I'd like to go after finishing this diploma. I want to go to VFS, but NTU's bachelor of fine arts in animation doesn't seem to bad either.
The best course of action would probably be to let things unfold first.
