Project Work

Now that the final product has been submitted, I think I can finally heave a small sigh of relief before continuing on the rest of my modules. I think its more or less confirmed that I'll be using another S/U this semester. GEM 2000. What was potentially an exciting module turned out to be the biggest joke of my university academic career thus far. Blame it on the chemistry between the student and the lecturer, the learner and the module... whatever... to quote Megna who quoted "Gone with the Wind"... Frankly (insert name of lecturer), I don't give a damn.

I regret my lackluster attitude towards my project work and the heart/headache I might have caused them along the way. They were a remarkable bunch... especially G, who took it upon herself to tidy up and see the project all through to the end. Impressive indeed :) If only I didn't loose faith in the whole lesson so early in the semester.

Its highly unlike me to dislike something so... impersonal as a university module so much... but I have to mention just how uninteresting and confusing my GEM 2000 has been so far. There is no doubt that the lecturer knows his stuff and is a highly regarded academic in his line of work... but the delivery of the lesson and the lecturer... the ridiculous emphasis on the formalities in class... frustrates me.

I decided that I am going to S/U this module... It doesn't matter if I fail the module and all. I just regret having signed up for it at all. I should probably consider Marcus's module next year on zoology... sounds like my cup of tea anyway.
