It's right after exams but now, I have to plan my timetable for next semester. Again.

It feels like yesterday that I was just beaming with pride after many painstaking nights of planning and coming up with THE brilliant timetable.

This semester, the modules offered are so dull I think watching my mom brush her teeth is more interesting.

Okay, maybe the module "Media and Society" offered this sem sounds great... but I've realised, the more interesting it sounds, the more difficult it is to score (Sociology of Food and Sociology of Tourism sounded fun but I didn't score very well for both of them).

I am now at a crossroad - to do something I can be good in, or to take something I like but know that I cannot score very well.
Public Administration, which may be easier for me to score because of Sociology background, or Communication Studies, where I am going to compete with the most brilliant mass comm students?

This is the dilemma of almost every university student. You want to do something you like but at the same time, you worry about your grades and so you choose a module that is easy to score.
But in the end, although you score well, you don't particularly enjoy it and you can't remember what your lecturer has taught you (except the part where he revealed he likes char kway teow).

Or you may choose to do something you like (The maxim "Passion keeps you alive" doesn't apply here), and in the end, it's so difficult to score, you end up with a bad grade that pulls your entire GPA down.

Despite these misgivings, I am still sure that no matter how dull, how dry, how difficult the module is, there is always something I can learn and bring back to apply in my daily life and to wow people at the table with these nuggets of facts.

I am probably going to choose a Communication Studies module.

Okay, back to planning my Perfect Timetable!
