Bright Morning

It's a bright Saturday morning. It has been like this for a few days. Come afternoon, it started to get cloudy and yesterday it rained heavily. The air feels cleaner today. I'm breathing deeply and feeling thankful for the nice fresh air. Love it...

I'm actually in a good mood since my classmate called yesterday. She's dropping a subject. Another classmate SMSed and she's doing the same. Yeah... I'm glad I have an option. Means I can drop the subject too and take it next semester with them. I thought I'd be worse off this sem with the commitment required on the subject as well as my trainings. We have a lecturer who has just completed his PhD and so excited to teach a class he forgot we are part time students and can't give the commitment required for all the coursework. Can you imagine a coursework that gives you 4 marks and we have 4 of those. We also have 2 big assignments of 20 pages each, worth 20 marks each and a final exam of 40%. He also expected drafts twice for each big assignments. Another 4% is for a presentation. Sigh! I hyperventilated in class last weekend as he was explaining about our coursework.

I had a meeting last Friday with my training associate company. We're expecting a project that would take us to East Malaysia and it would be a series of 5-days training. I can't imagine 5 days away from home, returning to slave for my Master's class. Now, I can breathe a bit. If the department let us drop the subject, it means we'll have afternoon class after this. Whatever it is, we'll find out tomorrow. For now, I have to make some preparation for tomorrow's class while enjoying the bright sunshine. Oh... I need to prepare something for the training too. We have a bunch of trainers for this so I'm only helping out with some of the assessment questions. Have a great weekend everyone:)
