Okay, so 13 or 14 weeks have zipped past, and life's a blur. I'm now in the exams period, which basically signals the end of my first semester. It's been ages since I last sat for an exam paper, and to be honest, I have no clue what it's like to do it again.
As for my preparation, it's as crappy as crap can be - I'm frantically reading everything that should have been read weeks ago. So that's the story of my Masters prep for now.
Am I enjoying it? Well, yes and no. Yes, because it takes time away from the mundaneness of work (we all know what that's like) and it allows you to daydream, chase a particular cause, do the stuff you like. No, because there's all the theoretical stuff which is mostly inapplicable for work, and the structuredness of the course which makes you realise why rote-learning still exists.
But the students are fun - young, and full of enthusiasm - except the likes of those who have been in corporate life for much too long. Our inner cynic cringe at the theoretical stuff most times.
Anyway, I hope to get away with a pass so that I can proceed to the next semester. 2 units done, 8 more to go. Wish me luck!
