Sch's out for now!

Wheeeee can't believe 2 semesters have ended and I'm half way through the course hehe 

So much has happened 

So much as changed

And so much more has entered my brain hehe 

Feels like I've been on endorphins since the last week of school 

And while it may be because its the end of school year

It may also be because of my realisation that 

I LOVE LEARNING HAHA 

Even tho I got pretty exasperated several times when ppl don't do their parts in projects and I have to spend hours adding content 

I also like how much I learnt in the process and the interesting stuff I found out about the topics like how diff msges are received through audio and visual channels 

I'm actually also considering pursuing further education after my further education because of this hahah 

Of course, this is highly dependent on my future career path and whether anyone can  subsidise my fees hehe

But realizing my liking to learn and to think critically is amazing and mind blowing blowingggg haha 

Happy happy 

Here's a simple recollection of the past semester 

- chill first half as I was rushing dubbing scripts (nearly killed myself from the lack of lack and stress)

- intensive course was amazing - I love the new tech that Prof introduced and discussed w us, and befriending the TA whom I sat beside thinking she's a classmate haha; a lil exasperated when grp mate didn't do his part till the last minute, but glad the combined efforts eventually turned out v well w the best presentation I ever did hehe (btw changed topics as other classmates started on the topic alr was the best decision made that module lol) and it was prob the first presentation that I did so much interaction w the class (machiam teacher) and the class enjoyed it such that others say that the presentation was good woohoo!!

- second half was a mad rushhhh w projects after projects and term papers. Took several leave and burnt several nights trying to complete them (incl a 12am-9am rush for parts that grpmates don't bother doing 🥲 but I'm glad I value added so much w all the processing of info via audio visual channel lol and im pretty sure satisfied prof's demands - which also made me realise how unwilling I am to submit unprepared work or do subpar presentations - a good sign a guess!!  

- but that unfortunately compromised my term paper (but I also gotta admit I slacked a bit - isit cos I was too drained? Idk) but I rlly loved my topic and the things I found out abt the topic creative AI - super applicable to my field of work tho it actually means replacing my job in the long run haha but I totally agree w the idea that creative work has its technical aspects that assures decent quality - but of course, also a lil sad that emotions no longer belong to the sphere of humans only, somewhat?

- also found out more abt Meta when we did the research ok change and disruptions - and a grpmate thanked me for brainstorming w her lol (others rlly don't care abt others parts sigh) and I'm rlly thankful for her dedication in helping out everyone's parts manz 

- and for deepfakeeee sigh not v well done and the scope could have been stretched further and grpmates could rlly be more responsible shrugs - but at least, individually, I enjoyed learning the new tech and its applications, especially the problems it bring abt like fake porn and benefits like multilingual messages - still a v fruitful experience 🤗

Such a physically and mentally tiring semester, but so so so fruitful and thankful 🥰❤

Clearly, an incident that plagued this semester that I prob won't forget ever is the harassment rubbish that happened 

And the worst part of it - evident by how much tears i shed - was how burdensome I became to my parents as they have to drive me around 

But the best part of it was also how loved i felt from my parents, as well as the concern Diana shared throughout the second half of the semester - thankyou thankyou thankyou 

Plus how it brought the cohort tgt somewhat lol 

Thankful for classmates who checked in on me and those that went back w me when I had go back alone too 

And thankful for Joyce and jovina for replying my texts and taking my calls when I was so lost and upset and terribly needed someone to turn to

And lastly, thankyou wei for surviving this episode such that you're now able to look back at ease 

So proud of you dear ✨️ 

Tbh now that I'm a week free since sch ended 

Weekday nights feels so different and slack lol 

But I managed to clean the house iron clothes run thrice and a short 15min yoga + 2 2hr naps in the evening hahahah shiookkkkkk 

Also finally researched a lil on video editing and podcasting - but rlly just a little lol 

Which gave me another idea 

To do podcast interviews instead of videos! 

(idea idea hehe)
