tuned in;
specialization and electives option and ranking`s over. i was forced to choose between tourism and marketing. i was a die-hard-want-to-do tourism and resort management student. really i was. but ms wong informed us about the overwhelming response for the REAL specialization alone, and after hearing randal`s advise, the absolute confusion and dilemma brought upon me was too much.
methods used to decide(these could be adapted and improved):
i was messaging my sisters for advice, throwing coins to confirm my choices, all the ideas that popped out in my small brain was used, however dumb, like counting the number of receipts in my wallet(odd refers to one specialization, even to another).
i felt like a lost sheep, with absolutely no idea what to do. on one hand was my interest - tourism and resort management, and the other was a safer and wider prospective choice - marketing. how was i to choose between them?!
i wrecked my brain for this.
so my final ranking results looks like this:
1. Marketing & Tourism and Resort Management
2. Tourism and Resort Management & Marketing
3. Marketing (REAL)
4. Tourism and Resort Management (REAL)
5. Human Resource Management & Marketing
6. Human Resource Management & Tourism and Resort Management
7. Human Resource Management (REAL)
8. Service Management & Marketing
9. Service Management & Tourism and Resort Mangement
10. Service Management (REAL)
11. Entrepreneurship & Marketing
12. Entrepreneurship & Tourism and Resort Mangement
13. Entrepreneurship (REAL)
now, i`m just praying i get my first two choices, either 1 would do. if i don`t get my first choice, it just means i`m not good enough, and i`ll just accept that. but if i really do get my second choice, then perhaps i`m fated to do tourism and resort management, regardless the fact that demand very much exceed its supply. let`s hope everything turn out well. i`ll be fine with either one, i sincerely hope.
and i really really really hope my uncle can successfully convince daddy to let me go for the Overseas Industrial Attachment Programme. no matter how scared i am, i`m willing to try it out and become even more independent, as much i think i already am. and if i`m really able to go, i`ll definitely pay for it myself, in exchange for the trust that my parents have in me. but i shall not raise my hopes too high, i sure don`t want to get too disappointed. besides, there`s so many interviews and criteria to meet, i might not be good enough in the first place. *shrugs* let`s just see. and it`s still a pretty long time to that....
but time flies.
got started for EC project today and will continue tomorrow, shall leave tomorrow night and wed night to read up on my spanish notes, if not i`m so gonna screw up this sem by throwing away my first IS like that. language is sure hard to pick up. roar! school sucks. (:
alright. i think i`ll have blabbered enough trash for a day. but it feels good to be blogging again! (((:
