I have endless stuff to worry about and there are endless things to stress me out!
1st, it was selection of mods.
2nd, the bidding amount
3rd, whether i get the bids successfully
last, whether i have enough e$ for subsequent terms as i am TERRIBLY BROKE!
Quoting xiumin "bidding is such a tourturous process man..depletes my money both e$ and S$), energy, time and sleep". Totally true!
It's well supported by the following:
1stly, to bid for good prof, we spent like
e$38 for 1 mod (can bid for 2 mods normally!)
2ndly, my SMS! in just abt 3 days, i sms almost 200? so there goes my
S$! Same for xm! haha
3rdly,
energy and
time to go and think, ask and research! sians BIG time!
lastly sleep! when oasis was down and i couldnt bid, i couldnt sleep also. slept at 2.30am and woke up 4hrs later to try bidding again. endless discussions till late in night. actually discussions will never end until bidding closes, hor xm? haha!
The bidding system in SMU is really different from other schools. We have to really do 'research' before bidding. So, timing is not the only factor to consider. Who's teaching, who's your competitors and most importantly, the MARKET rate for each mod are all the factors that one need to consider before bidding. Back up plans. the WHAT-IFs. I hope we do not and will not have any what-if. SO is that a good thing? well, i guess its up to each individual. Like a coin, there are pros and cons!.
well, i can only pray that we get all our bids tmr when i see checked the
oasis screen at 12pm. O ya, i would say smu is rather efficient. Bidding closes at tmr morning 8am and results out at 12 noon. maybe due to the small cohort, but still thumb's up!=D
here, i wld like to thank many for their advices.=))
more about myself now!=D
been busy with freshmen matriculation these 3 days. well, not really busy, but occupied. supposed to meet rene, ps and joce for dinner but had to cancel it due to last min HR meeting. Well, i guess the meeting's more impt since team bonding is this FRI! did ushering for matriculation and promotion of our project SOS!
o well, its JYWTX today again. 1st half was great. 2nd half wasnt as gd though, but its relaxing and rather entertaining=P.
ending,
SIAN! my head bursting alr! haha.
