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.

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

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.
DeletePlease 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!
