Decisions decisions. So if I take 2 extra classes next semester and get A's in all the 6 classes, I will achieve Cum Laude (basically 3.5).
Or I can settle for the 4 classes and get any grades and still pass with a second upper.
People who know me will definitely say I'm settling for the second option, and of course there are reasons. It is not easy to get A's in classes, so even if I miss one A out of the six, I have no chance to achieve the whatever recognition. Not a good bet. I'm out.

But yeah I've registered for 6 classes at the moment, planned to drop 2 of those when the semester starts. Oh well, we'll see. I might still stick to all 6 if they are not that difficult.

Final exam ended on Dec 11th, and I worked overnight for a group project (supposedly) and submitted it on Dec 12th. It's Dec 20th right now, it's been one week of winter break. Results are out.

Why do I choose to work alone for the group project? Even though my group partners are not very helpful anyways, I wanted to do it alone. Simply because I get to do as bad as I can, and submit it as close to the deadline as possible, yet no one can complain about how bad our work has been. This is not the first time I have these two people as group partners, and not the first project that I work alone. They are nice people, just not very helpful, still nice. Might still get them as group partners next semester.

Even though projects affect our grades (a little), I got a decent overall result. Even JPA will be happy when they see it. But that is also the root of the problem, should I stick with 6 classes and try to get all A's? No one knows LOL.

The story goes like this, the final exams this year, I had 3 exams. I do the homework for one of the classes, and there are no right or wrong answers, so I'm good. One more has quizzes every week which I barely studied, but I get the idea, so I got a B. Another one the professor just gives things no one has ever seen before every time, and every exam is a big gamble, and I got a B, feeling great right now. Yes, I didn't study at all, for the final exams. At ALL. The week was spent doing projects and shit, but yeah I got through them. So glad.


One week of winter break, what have I done? I wrote an article for joinDOTA, and that's it. I sleep, I wake up, and I eat one meal a day, since I don't leave the apartment, hardly leaving my room everyday. No vacation plans this year, I'm not feeling bored or wasteful even though it's my final year here. It comes to a point where I try to look for something more than just visiting touristy places. The whole US kinda feels like a big tourist spot, people go to national parks for photos, go to big city for photos, statue for photos, lake for photos, and shit. Yeah I've had my share. I'm satisfied with how touristy I have been.

Kind of saving up as well, since my parents expressed their wish of visiting when I graduate. So I might need to pay for stuffs in advance, or I would actually pay for them, not just in advance. I do not feel a thing when I plan their trip and everything and I can pay for them, no problem. Tell me to pay for someone else? Hell no. Guess that's just me. But yeah I would never have enough to pay for everything though, they would still have to fork out a little bit.

GRADUATE, for real? Never worn a robe. Never really graduated. Can't imagine. My school's robes look hideous though, but whatever, a thing is a thing. I've gained so much weight gearing up towards finals week, and I've never had a pair of proper shoe since I came here (that pair of shoes I had gave up on me in Korea while transiting). I guess this is actually a big deal to me. Oh well what else is there.
