After over a month, what do I think about the courses (subjects?) I’m taking for this semester?

“Ethics for Professionals” – Mixed feelings. Hate my group.

“Islam and Asian Civilization” – History. Duh. The ultimate bore.

“Art Appreciation” – Just started class 2 weeks ago. Doesn’t seem like what I have in mind. Looks fun but it’s still early to say more.

“Dragon Boat [Club?]” – Sea + non-swimmer + 1st-timer + Sunburn = FUN. Relaxing course, actually. Doesn’t have to think much…

“Computer Programming  & Simulation” – Interesting. Very closely-related to my minor (CG). I can almost say I love it.

“Mathematics I”, “Economic Statistics” – I should love my math courses. Statistics is super hard (my math weakness other than those involving graphs especially weird-shaped ones) but I WILL find my way to conquer it. Logic and Set Theory are my new love.

“English for Research Purposes (ERP)” – I initially wanted to take “Grammar in Context” course (because I want to learn more about grammar) but there’s no more vacancy so I ended up taking this. I don’t really read much journals but I’m familiar with them. I was my mum’s unacknowledged assistant (lol.) when she was still doing her doctorate thesis on something about innovation. She was a part-time post-graduate student… so during my free time, I was the one who looked for journals she needed and wanted for her research. So when I started ERP class, I wasn’t surprised by the terms. What’s even better is I’m going to write my own erm… mini-thesis. I found out that this course will help me in my 2nd/3rd year. English is always my favourite subject, even though the class is held at night (everyone’s tired and sleepy), it’s pretty relaxing. A good distraction, to say the least.

“Digital Systems” – Finally started class last Friday. The subject looks difficult. The lecturer is pretty but she’s very strict at the same time. She’s cool, really.

*Title of the courses (originally in malay) were loosely-translated.
