Have not been here for a long long while. Was really tied down by work. I think life as an SMU student is really really hectic, with all that project work. I think project work can be really stressful, especially if it takes up a significant portion of your final grade, and when there are so many of them at hand. I cannot help but stop and ask myself, is there really any value in doing so much project work, and how much value will it add to my tertiary education. While I do not disagree that project work does help to instil in us the spirit of teamwork and perserverance, I think that it does nothing more than that. Has the benefits of project been overestimated? Or is it that the sheer quantity of it simply kills all interest? I dont know. But what I feel about it is that I have not benefitted much from it on the whole. I dont think I have. I think that the benefits of project have been overstated. It is an overstatement to say that project work is "beneficial in training students who not only know how to study, but are able to think critically and independently".
Anyway, enough of project work. I will not have to do any for a good month. Was out practically the whole day, and was on a...shopping spree. I think shopping is really a form of therapy sometimes. I feel happier when I see pretty things, and even happier if I manage to lay my hands on them. Just like today, I got two really pretty necklaces from Swarovski, one of which is mother of pearl, and another which is black and red. I cant really describe it, but all I can say is that they both look really fantastic, and they are what I call "must-haves" . Had lunch with mom, BD and his parents. Heehee..first time that they met. SO funny.. :) They seem to get on ok. Heehee. Tmr is the last day of school before the exams. Going to sleep soon. Going to bombard my prof with qtns tmr. Heh. Be prepared man!
