Tagged under Japan and Study Trip even though it's not really in Japan or a Study Trip but... for lack of other reasons~


Remember how I was praying to get accepted into the Hyogo Joint Summer Session at Sea? I actually didn't make the cut BUT

BUT some kind soul backed out (just like Choon Hwee predicted) and I got in! I got the call in the middle of class today and I almost exploded into happiness.

Though I have had one rude awakening.

Nearly everyone else there (NUS students I mean) will probably have awesome Japanese abilities. Alas, I am rusty and lazy and stupid and I don't. I'm majorly intimidated by everyone else. D: I did a google search and everyone seems to be really good. D:

Need to start practicing right now.

I'm still flip-flopping over whether to do the Double Major (I'm holding out till the end of next sem) with JS. I'm not doing a LAJ module next semester so I need to keep up with my own revision.

Procrastination is my biggest enemy. :\ How annoying.

But Ho Chi Minh city! And 4 days at sea! With a whole bunch of Japanese university students! Awesome stuff!


NOTE:

All the modules that I want to do clash with each other. :\ WTF.

I need to fill in one more slot for my module list. I'm left with GEK2022 (Samurai, Geisha, Yakuza, Self & Other) and JS32XX Japanese Philosophy and Thought. I'm leaning more to the Samurai one because the workload doesn't seem as killer as the other plus, I can still use it for my JS minor (if I decide to switch) and I think it's a CAP puller.

I need CAP pullers this sem.

Japanese Philo and Thought however, will definitely fulfill my JS minor and major requirements plus, whatever intellectual appetite I have. Just that, I don't know if it will kill me. :\
