AA306 Risk Reporting and Analysis was... well, surprisingly noob-ish paper. I'd think that it was the easiest accounting paper that I've took thus far, and that's not a good thing because it'll be near impossible to score a good grade. Though I scored a perfect score for quiz 1 (so did 1/3 of the cohort), I'm pretty certain my quiz 2 was terrible, probably a D+ or C at best, and there's no telling what was the score of our other components. Fingers crossed, I'll be happy with a B+ overall grade.
AA304 Auditing turned out to be rather manageable as well, which I'm thankful for as I haven't really been studying much of the entire semester, being caught up with MF 2010 and OH 2011 matters half the time I'm in school. My mid-term quiz was atrocious (D+! First D I've ever gotten in NBS, I might add). I'll also be happy if I gotten B+ too.
HP805 Intro to Human Resource Management was also freaking easy, I shouldn't have exercised the S/U option as I could have scored for this paper. HA205 Government and Politics of Singapore was also pretty manageable, I had 4 days to prepare for the paper, but I think I only spent half a day to a day really revising for it. As I've said in the earlier post, anyone who is interested and have been following Singapore politics would have no trouble completing the module.
AAI280 Improvisation was the first NIE module I took in my two years here, and it was the most enjoyable module I've ever took. Half the time, we were playing and experimenting with music, I mean, how awesome can that get! Didn't exercise the S/U option for both HA205 and AAI280 as I am saving it for the last semester, hope I can get decent/good grades for both. I just need to maintain my 2nd Uppers!
Studies aside, things for the 2011 NTU Open House are moving along very nicely. Only 3 more months to show time and there's so much to do! This would be the last SU even of my NTU life, so I really hope that it'll be a success, both behind the scenes and what people see and experience on 6 March 2011. I haven't chaired a committee in 8 years (the IBSM trip to PRD in 2007 doesn't count) and it reminded me what I've missed out on all my poly years. Events management is tiring but that's what makes it all the more fun. I don't think such an opportunity will ever come again, which was the reason why I accepted the post when Daniel (the previous chairperson) approached me.
Speaking of Daniel, he has nothing but supportive so far. Boy was I ever wrong about him, though I am not worshipping the ground he walks on, I was wrong to believe everything that Alan (the previous SU Orientation Executive) and KX (the current SU President). Don't get me wrong, I respect all of them, but I think each person's perspective of the other were drawn upon such unfounded fears and, dare I say, stupidity. It's just a complete breakdown of professionalism, and it's a sorry sight. But I'm thankful none of the three had tried to directly interfere with the way I am running my committee, as it should be the case.
Amidst all the hectic school life, I didn't even manage to maintain contact with M&N. Well, at least M and I would exchange texts once in awhile, but sad to say, the same cannot be said with N, this really speaks volumes of how much we could never be. I already knew that when I passed her book before I left for London, but throughout the course of the semester, I've grown to accept it and realise that I'm not ready myself either. Just talking things one step at the time from now. I can't see myself finding any time for a relationship, not while I'm in NBS anyway.
So that's the semester for me.
I shall recount and assess how 2010 turned out for me in my next post (and last for 2010)! 2011 is upon us!
