JOURNAL 1 (week 1)

Back to college” that was my first quote for today. I was so excited when the college starts but was lazy to go to the 8 o’ clock class which was PSY110 class. Today was my first day of my second semester and I was quite proud of it because I am going to meet with the juniors. The bad thing is I was late for the class and was quite tension because I don’t know how the lecturer will react. At last I reach to college around 8.10 a.m. I was pretty shock when I first glanced in the class because there were a lot of students. I thought the class will be boring between I was quite sleepy too but once the lecture starts to give her intro, I was awaken a bit because the way send the message was interesting. My lecture’s name is miss Yeo Pei Li.

Besides, our lecturer actually understands us quite well. The best part was when she gives some exercise to make us active and not sleepy in the class. Then, she begins with and ice breaking session where we were asked to know each other especially with the August’08 intake students. I like the intro session because miss Pei Li asked to intro our selves by adding one positive adjective in front of our names. The session was quite funny and enjoying though.

Furthermore, the advice that miss Pei Li gave has a real impact on me. Especially at one part she make me to think about how important is career in our life. The advice that our lecturer gave make me to realize the importance of making the right decision in choosing our career. Besides, she also said that we must start working towards the goal from now onwards. That was the time I was really clear with my choice. Now I know that I am in the right course even I was confused at first though.

In addition, the point that opened my eyes was a test called “Vienna Test”. Even though I know about this test since last semester but I didn’t take the initiative to explore about this test. After miss Yeo Pei Li explains about this test and about the bonus marks that I can gain by doing this test really strike my mind. Consequently, I was actually more attracted about the career report that I will get after completing the whole Vienna test session. Then I realize that this is one of my great opportunities to know more about my general interest, personality and basic intelligence.

Moreover, I was so excited when I heard that I can gain some additional bonus mark for this subject. I thought to myself that this marks will really help me to get better grade in my examination. Although the procedures to do all this activities quite completing but I learned that this activities could be a great experience for me which can help to motivate myself and encourage me to do something which is beneficial in future.

Last but not least, the best thing I learned in today’s class was about how important career planning while we are still studying so that it will be easier for our future. Career interest is very important to form ourselves and again this actually depends on each individual.
