Recently, my life has turned into a mad house.
Not that it was smooth-sailing all along (*rolls eyes), but well, the roller-coasters are tuned to travel higher this time round!
FYP madness I would say!
Every anxious (i am being very courteous using this instead of …) student is busy-ing sending out emails, going for interviews, trying to impress their interviewers as much as they can, trying to secure the top choice as much as they can.
Urgh, now you can ‘see’ all the ugly tactics.
Gees, yes i understand everyone is worried about not being able to get into that oh-so perfect project you have probably dreamed of since you have been born, but is there really a need to go that far? Really? Seriously? Do you have to go around assuring your interviewers that you will select them as your top choice when you don’t? You are depriving others of a chance! Come on, you can only select one as your top choice, so logically, how is it possible to give the assurance to 5 different profs? Superhuman powers, perhaps huh.
I am getting sick and tired of all these. Why do humans behave in such manner? Why do we tend to ‘degrade’ ourselves by portraying such behaviour? I just don’t understand the motives/ reasons behind all these. And I don’t believe there can be any good reason for such behaviour at all.
Anyway, this battle is not one for me, and definitely not one I would willingly get into.
I shall just pray (really really hard) for a prof that is understanding, willingly to teach and give me the chance to learn as much as possible within that time frame. Location wise I think it can be a good sacrifice I can get a good prof. So, I will really pray hard! =)
p.s: ain’t making much progress in my elective =(
