Semester 4 in A Glance

Assalamualaikum you guys!!!!!!!! I am back with another post on this humble blog of mine that I have changed a dozen times in the last few years. For that, I am terribly sorry. I keep on dragging everyone through every blogging platform that my heart desired at that time and it's not good, it's not good. I promise that this will be the last time. I will not be changing my blogging platform until I am down with 10 kids and 30 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, I can promise you that.

By the way, I wanna so bad to be blogging in Malay but the future-English-teacher inside of me is begging me not to do so because Manglish is seriously not okay in my opinion but cakap bahasa ibunda lagi seronok sebenarnya kan? (Especially when it comes to cursing) (but that's besides the point) (but I'm gonna write in Malay anyway because I nampak lagi excited kan?)

As you can see from the title of this post and this cute header I got from budaksukavanilla.blogspot.com (I edit dekat Photoshop CS6 and tambah the words je), I wanna talk about my current semester, in a glance. In case you're not up-to-date about my life ("hmm erin ko pikir ko retis nak orang up-to-date dengan hidup ko??????"), I am currently doing my Bachelor's degree in MSU, specifically in TESL. I am in my fourth semester now and for my course we have 8 + 1 (practicum) semesters for 3 years. So I'm basically halfway through my studies and dying profusely.

To be honest lah kan, I chose TESL instead of Medical Science (already applied and accepted to MSU's BMS program) sebab I rasa TESL ni tak memeningkan kepala otak I and I tak perlu nak hafal sistem-sistem dalam badan yang rasanya kalau I tak tahu pun I still boleh hidup dengan tenang kot. Tapi alangkah silapnya I. Kusangkakan panas hingga ke petang, rupanya hujan di tengahari. Kusangkakan it's a walk in the park, rupanya a walk in cuaca panas malaysia 45 darjah selsius matahari tegak atas kepala. With no payung.

Somehow it irks me when people say "alah TESL, English je" bitch it's not?? If you berani cakap "alah English je" then how come I never see you talkin' and writin' in English with the correct phonetics pronunciation of words and a hella good grammar in your writing? I really hate condemning other people's courses but don't condemn mine because I will definitely find a hundred and one cons of your course and I will use my foul mouth to hurt every single nerve in your brain. (No correlation between my foul mouth and the nerves in your brain but that's the point.)

To talk about my current semester (that is ending in two days. Two more papers guys!), it is definitely the toughest semester for me, yet. I personally think that syllabus wise, it wasn't as hard as I pictured it to be but my lecturers gave the toughest coursework projects ever. They made it a hell for us. From the beginning of the semester (early Nov 2015) until study week, we had been thinking non-stop of our projects and assignments and presentations and other thingamajig that comes in package with being a bachelor student. And I had to take Community Service subject which I'm not going to go into details here because I will flip shit just talking about it. To add more salt to the burn, I already got my subject list for next semester and deep in my heart I know, boy, I know that it will be the toughest semester, yet.

Since the first semester, we were 'presented' with a lot of core subjects every semester and you gotta trust me when I say we haven't done any university core subjects such as Malaysian Studies, Islamic Studies, etc. Maybe it's my university's system to have us completing our core subjects first, I don't know. All I know is it just keeps getting tougher. It has come to the point where I already told my mom that I wanted to defer my studies because I couldn't cope with the stress but I'm expected to finish my studies by mid next year if everything goes smoothly so it would be kind of a waste of time to defer, wouldn't it? I just have to toughen up and suck it all up.

So that is all for my semester 4 in a glance. I hope you enjoy this boring post and I will definitely write about some other things when I'm free. Sayonara.
