semestral sprint

my 1st year of poly is coming to end soon. 1st sem seemed fast. 2nd sem was harder, but time passed without much notice cos we were so caught up with the work and there was no break for us, save for the 2 weeks just enough for the christmas season. it still seems so shortly ago that i started sem2.

the last project of the semester is over! finally i can take a breather from all the staying back after lessons at the uncomfortable benches staring at paper or microsoft documents and putting up with all the group politics. but no time for rest... exams lurk very near ahead! i shall be forced to turn into a lifeless mugger for the rest of the month. im already quite short of time for studies. i hate projects. but i can expect even more in year 2.. arrgh!

i did my last project presentation today.. the 1st group to present. The module is innovation, design & enterprise in action (idea) and we had to come up with plans for a non existing product and try to promote it. i was really outcome, we did better than i expected. i felt our product really lacked sense of wonder and originality as most of its components are already in market. our product banked mainly on practicality and relevance to daily activities. but after seeing the other group's ideas, they were all even more ordinary, redundant or lacking wonder, despite being more original. so we were told ours was the best among those today, and will be sent for the ideas challenge audition! i may end up competing on a national level. cool.

Ok starting tomorrow its all boring mugging. 5 subjects and lots uncovered as yet. get over the exams, then im free again! for quite some time. maybe ill find a job after that. im half looking forward to next sem where the modules are more into tourism and should be more interesting, but half dreading it cos very certainly ill have more late work nights than this sem. hope it doesnt go too hard on me, and God guide me though them.
