The start of second semester of Year 2 feels like the midpoint of University life in SCI is rushing towards me with unmistakable haste. It's like a midlife crisis - dramatic self-doubt resulting from the passing of being a freshie and the immenence of graduation.
Why am I taking EBM mods when I plan to specialise in PR?
The only answer I can give is interest. I don't even, for a moment, think I'm going to do particularly well. And given last sem's results that's what I should be doing this sem. The worst part is I don't even know if I'd do well if I take Creative Strategies or Interpersonal Communication instead.
The good thing is my current timetable is that it's from Monday to Wednesday.
The mods that I plan to take in the future include film editting, film history, voice production or singing, creative writing (playwriting, deja vu!), complete my minor in Theatre and Performance... when I should probably be taking a minor in business.
I've got my head up in the clouds.
I shall thus continue to indulge in my interests before getting back on track in the next two years. I shall spam all my AUs and take 7 out of the 12 PEs from the PR track. The mods at the Upper Level look more interesting anyway.
It sounds like I'm trying to convince myself more than anyone else.
(On a sidenote Media Presentation & Performance and Image and Sound Production are of PR too. Therefore from the 8 PEs of Lower Level PR, I would've taken 4! Hopefully ignoring the more theoretical modules won't cripple me later on.)
What hurt me more than anything was that I wasted my AUs on Org Comm last year. I didn't learn anything and I tried to stay afloat through everything by doing the minimal and I ended up getting nothing from the course. I've wasted my school fees!
Let's not even talk about my epic F from Sem 1.
Hopefully this sem I will DO WELL in stuff that I'm interested in as opposed to last sem where I did things that I was interested in (hi, acting and graph comm) and sucked at it.
Grrr...
OHFUCKIT.
hold your own
