Banchelor in Tesl Year 2 Semester 1 (Semester 3)

Hai people, readers.

How's life? Good?

Mine was practically okay. I just felt that one month semester break was not enough.

I thought the first semester is crazy enough but it turns out the third semester catches me off guard and until now, it still wears me down to the core. I'm not even exaggerating. If second semester is about making posters, third semester is about field trips. The best part is, you have a little to no time in between these trips and on top of them, you are required to collect data during the visits. There's no exception letter for you which means you can't possibly skip classes to go for the trips. And to add to that craziness, each of us (groupwork) all have different timetables.

A lot of arguing due to the stress that is weighing us down, anxiousness of presenting a topic that is still pretty much alien to us and the ridiculous amount of assignments that all have the same due date. I don't even know to describe these experience to you properly because the emotions and thoughts are too complicated at that time. It's like you're tired as fuck, you are definitely so over completing every single assignment thrown on your plate but still, you do it because your marks are at the verge of failing, you still have to work your ass to complete them.

I'm not a procrastinator. But too many last minute assignments given by the lecturers definitely keep me on my toes that I could barely breathe. I'm a meticulous person but when I'm not given ample time to properly get it done, it irks me to no end and I feel like my works are all half-assessed which is definitely not me.

Even during my study week, I still have assignments piling on my plate. I couldn't study at all because I'm too busy completing my never-ending assignments. And when I did finish them, I'm too worn out that I no longer possess the desire to read and do anything. I practically threw everything out of the window that even my friends were shocked by my sudden change. So in conclusion, I worked super hard this semester until my flames burnt out that led me to fuck my examinations big time.

This time, for sure, deep inside my heart, I knew that I fucked this sem big time. I had bid goodbye to my CGPA because I felt that there's no way I could save what's practically dead. It's too late. Knowing that I didn't study as hard as I did back in the first and second semester (but seriously, during that time I barely revised anything too and this time around it was worst than that. To give you a picture on how I spend my study week all these semesters, I literally watch anime all week and spare about 30 minutes revising stuffs I think are important But this sem, I went out to watch a movie (Thor Ragnarok) then watch anime and went shopping. The only time I glanced at the slide notes where 10 minutes before I slept. No I'm not joking) I only prayed to God to at least let me get 3.0 and above. I was so sure that I would fail this semester.

The result was out a few days ago. There's a drama as usual, relating to PKP and UKM miscommunication and technical difficulties, but that aside, I was surprised to know that it was actually not that fucked up! It might not be as good as the previous semester but it is not that bad either! Alhamdulilah, I'm still in the dean list category. Even when I was at my lowest during the study week and examination week. Thank you, Lord, for everything.

Third semester was tough. You really need to pull yourself together for this. Expect a lot of field trips, last minute assignments, and big projects which were all due on the same week.

  1. hi, sis, i just read your blog. I just wanna ask you about the assignments. say, all assignments are research based, do you need to cite every single sources you gained from? or UKM dont really care about citation things. anyway, if you want to, pray for me that UKM will call me to enrol for tesl program this month. i made an appeal for them to interview me last week and they did agree with me. so ya also all the best for your studies and life

    1. Hai, oh my God, sorry for the extremely late reply. I just checked my blog. Anyways, if this answer is still necessary, I believe UKM lecturers take serious note on citation. Every thing that is not your idea should be cited. And the page you need to cite from usually needs to be a journal or published article so it's kind of tough to cite actually. But Google scholar really helps so I do recommend that website if you're trying to look for free available journals online.

      Please tell me you get the IV! I did make the appeal letter too but mehh, I got rejected. Hope everything goes well for you now!

Banchelor in TESL UKM: First Semester

I decided to update today, a day before I start my second semester. So, semester one is a roller coaster ride for me. It was tough, so many sleepless nights and anxiety thoughts. I enrolled in UKM on week 7, right on the mid-sem of the first semester. I was forced to merge with the 'arus perdana' students of UKM which means I had to catch up with all the seven weeks that I have missed; the seven weeks worth of assignments and the seven weeks worth of lectures. It was insane but I somehow made it. I remember on the first week of my enrolment, I suddenly needed to take a quiz of a subject I barely knew about. Can you imagine yourself having to take a quiz about an alien topic? I had to go through that since there'll be no exceptions or handicap for me even though I was a fresh, new student in Banchelor of TESL. My answers were all nonsense, nothing seems right so when I walked out from the exam hall, there was only one thing on my mind; I am going to fail this for sure. O...

Welcome to Dengkil : Pros and Cons!

I have started my second semester in a new place, UiTM Dengkil, Selangor about more or less three weeks ago! Well, everywhere you go, they'll be pros and cons and the same case can be applied to this matter. But everything I listed down here might change in the future so please don't immediately say no to this brand new place, okay? Lets start with the pros. What do I like about Dengkil? 1) IOI City Mall Putrajaya It's just 20 minutes away from UiTM Dengkil and don't worry, there are buses that will take you to IOI for only RM3.00! Back in Lendu, we need to go for half an hour to one hour ride just to reach AEON, which is the nearest shopping complex we can go to. Don't get me wrong, people. I love Lendu as well. There's AEON and Dataran Pahlawan. But in terms of transportation, I might prefer IOI better. If you want to go to IOI via Taxi (metered taxi), it'll cost you around RM25-RM30. 2) Putrajaya Sentral Near to the bus station. Plus...

Interview Asasi Tesl 2015

Assalammualaikum to dear readers. I make this blog just to put up my experience in Foundation in Tesl's interview since I realize that this experience is indeed valuable and needed to be shared to the upcoming generations that are interested in taking this course in the future. Like any other bloggers who post out about this particular topic, I'll be doing the same thing- I'll tell you about: 1) Documents needed for the interview 2) Preparations 3) Clothing 4) A place to stay for the night (for those who are going to have their interview in UiTM Pasir Gudang) 5) Writing test and also the holy interview.  I'm not sure if this will help you or not but I do hope that it will help you in someways, tho. So, let's move on. The first thing you need to do once you are being called for the interview is preparing the documents that are requested by UiTM. Print two copies of each documents as a precaution measure. Anything can happen so it's better to be prep...
