Beautiful Saturday morning was spent with my lecture notes and coursepack. I was not as focused as last Thursday, but I'm glad that I've done a bit of revision.
So yeah..Here I am.. At the end of week 12, beginning of week 13, and just one more semester then I'll be graduating. This semester has been interesting. The modules are tough, interesting, but honestly not as exciting as my third year's modules. Anyway, I do learn a lot from my modules. Taking psychometrics module and psychological assessment module at the same time really helps me to read the journal articles for my thesis in a different perspective. The modules have built my intuition in looking at my thesis data. I've thought of more and more questions in my head, I'm still not sure how to make it concrete with the statistical analysis, but I'm still thankful the questions are there in my head.
The module on painting was more interesting at the beginning of the semester compared with the ones after recess week. Perhaps it's because I'm more interested in traditional art, such as paintings on Shiva Nataraja, Buddha, or Chinese painting, compared with renaissance 'and friends'. Hehehe. Nevertheless, I do hope that now if I visit arts museum, I can understand which one is impressionist, post-impressionist, renaissance, cubism, etc.
I guess the most interesting modules of this semester are the human rights module and Thai language. I have sore eyes of reading Thai script, but it's getting more and more interesting. I feel the excitement that I felt when I read Chinese characters in my first year. Human rights module is very broad, but those particular weeks when I read Thomas Pogge's article were very fulfilling. I guess partly it's because the article is nostalgic, reminds me of the leadership training, and because that article is the reason why I take the module.
Thesis?
Slow but sure.. My supervisor has been very supportive. I have not revised my introduction, started reading again a bit a few weeks ago, but other than that I 'only' keyed in data. I'll need to work more after my exams.
I can't believe end of the year is coming. I browsed NUS job portal, IMH website, and autism partnership website two days ago. I realized that it'll be hard and very competitive. Sigh. Well, now I'd better focus on my exams, then I'll revise my research proposal for master's application, settle my introduction chapter for thesis, and start sending resume. It seems like the real break will only start on 18 Dec.
