Haven't blogged in awhile. Not quite sure what to blog about. Second year hasn't been what I imagined it to be. First year was such a disillusionment. It was so easy in first year. Just cram everything in, I decided that I wanted to take it one step further and to understand what I was actually studying. I read news papers, kept up with current affairs, found it fascinating that what I was learning was actually happening in the world. Then when the assignments came it was such a joy to write them. To expound on the current affairs in our world. Now the assignments keep coming. It's a total of 10 assignments, but somehow, the uni has found some secret way of making them last so long.
It began with econometrics, then personal finance, then micro, then econometrics again, then econs of the environment, then micro again, econometrics, then personal finance, then econs of the environment, and then econometrics. And between each assignment is like a week? I spend so much time reading for it, planning for it, I sat back today, and realised that the semester is coming to an end!!! TOO FAST!!!
On the bright side, they've all been group assignments, though I chose to do some myself, so I guess it's not so stressful on that point. They haven't really been very research based either. More application so thats good too. And because so much reading is required for it, I think I'm more on track on my readings than I've been in my past two sems, but still behind. Hmmm, come to think of it, the uni is a genius for arranging the assignments such.
