It's just me.

Timetable had been out for quite long already and staring at it, I'm still thinking if I should even take up any electives at all other than Chinese Culture since it just takes up half of a two hour break which I will most probably be wasting away.

The other electives, are all two hours per lesson, four hours a week. This might been a four MC and it also means lots of things to learn and study. If that is the case, I'm considering to drop those.

I've finally found myself a good piano teacher and a place to learn Cello. I want to be not just good in acads but also something else, to have a talent somewhere else. Again, looking at the super cram timetable that we're given, I doubt I will have the time to manage electives and instruments at the same time. These instruments are just like an extra music module to me. It takes time to learn, understand, practice and perfect. Together with my non-acads stuff like council, MA and CCA (which I'm alr kinda struggling in sem 1), I really doubt that I can cope the electives.

While Gregory says now I shouldn't be at a point where CAP is the most important thing at the end of a semester. Yes I agree. My CAP is kinda stable already, fluctuating around that line. But, I still need to put in the effort to maintain it. With the timetable (if I take elecs), I will be reaching home at earliest 5pm everyday and that sucks. Again, not only there's no time for practice, lessons, I doubt there's even time to study what I need to study. And in the end, I will end up studying only again.

Well I have to admit that I'm not talented in Sciences and Math, at least not as talented in them as people like Su Hang. I don't have to mug THAT hard but I still need to mug more than those very talented ones.

Another thing is that, if I take elecs, it will defeat the my will to learn instruments and read up on things on my own because I simply don't have time. The stress of the eleces' grades will also affect me. In the end I will have a life with school, and school only. That's not what I want. I want to have a life, to do things I want to do and I believe acads is not everything.

Well, if I'm not born to be a person like some super pro professor or researcher, then I will just do my part as a doctor/medical researcher/teacher/vet/animal specialist/etc (hahaha), something that I enjoy. All I want from my job is steady income that allows me to have a good life and happiness, not fame.

Hmm. I'll decide after the first week of lessons. There's still add/drop period.
