Supposed to be...

This blog is supposed to be updated frequently (think eurotrip and outings in sg), with stories and pictures depicting my life. However, lately, I'm just overwhelmed by the enormous amount of workload thrown straight at me from my lovely university. When I thought uni workload couldn't be more than the previous semesters, this semester just got worse. It's only week 3 now, and I cannot fathom how this is gonna last till week 12. I'm not going into the details of how stressful it is, as most of my friends would have known by now.

Now, there is a dilemma that I'm facing. To drop a module from my current four to three, and concentrate on the other 3. Or to simply try to attempt all 4 at one go. Both has its pros and cons of course.

Drop Module:
Pros are less workload, less stress, able to concentrate on just 3 modules and higher chance of scoring better grades.
Cons are I still have to take it next semester, making it a possibly stressful semester like the current one, I will also have 7 modules next year, so it's gonna be 4 in the first sem, and 3 in the second sem.

Holding on:
Pros are if I manage to pass all 4, I will have a relatively relax last year of uni come 2009, as mentioned earlier, I will only be left with 6 modules for the year of 2009.
Cons are workload as bad as now, may increase in the weeks to come, high chance of scoring mediocre results, worst scenario is failing any modules.

Date of decision has to be before the 31st of August. I will get back my money for a module if I choose to drop. 2 more weeks to decide......

Uni life is supposed to be fun and exciting. There is supposed to be a fair balance of work and play. Going overseas to study is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be less stressful according to 'knowledgable singaporeans'. Everything in life seems "supposed to be", but in reality it seems not to be.

Looking forward to a better tomorrow.
