Results for the previous semester came out on the 3rd day we were in Adelaide, and we were leeching on the mall's wifi to check the student portal.
The previous semester (Sem 3.1) was the second last sem in my entire poly life, and also the last (unofficial) "studying" sem since the last Sem 3.2 that I'm currently in only comprises of 2 modules: internship and Major/Final Year Project. So I guess it was a pretty significant release of results, because it would be the last time we'd have so many grades to look at HAHA.
Sem 3.1 was... different. I wouldn't say that it was more "slack", because while there were only 5 modules as compared to the usual 6, the workload was still equally difficult and stressful.
We had a TP Core (aka non-Psychology) module this semester which scared the hell out of me??? The last TP Core module I had in Sem 1.1 didn't leave such a good impression on me........ mainly because I didn't get an A for that module la sorry hahaha. I'm okay with studying for Psych modules because it's a lot of theory and memorizing, and I can still do well if I put in the effort to just study and memorize as much shit as I can??? But the TP Core modules we had to take were "Public Speaking" and "Professional Communication Skills"............. which really just requires practical skills la. Like you can't just study 24/7 and do well, you HAVE to be able to use the communication skills you learn so it's very application & practical :(. But by God's grace, I managed to do well for Prof Comm so that's A HUGE RELIEF??????? The whole cohort did pretty badly for this group project we had but thank God my other individual components were able to pull my grade up :''-)
I didn't have high hopes for this semester's Psych modules because it didn't sound as interesting as "Social Psychology" and "Abnormal Psychology" (which were my 2 fav modules) HAHAHA. But thinking back, they were not as bad as I had expected la. Also turns out the module I had the highest hope for this sem (Psychology of Criminal Behavior) was quite disappointing and vice versa for the module I had the lowest hopes for (Human Factors Psychology) LOL.
Although this sem was less "happening" than the other 4 semesters I've been through, it was still a good one I guess :-) I still broke down from time to time... but definitely a lot lesser than I used to in Sem 2.2 so that's a good sign right???? I also did a lot better than I had expected... so good that I literally screamed in front of all the Australians in Rundle Mall when I saw my results hahahahaha.
It's still quite surreal to know that I have no more assignments/tests to do and my poly life is coming to an end... :( I was just a lost freshie 2 years ago and here I am now, a SENIOR about to graduate. I'm really not looking forward to graduating because the people and lecturers I've met here are the best I've ever had and I don't want to leave :( but I guess we'll have to move on one day, and I'm just thankful that at least I have a wonderful poly life to look back on :)
