TVJOURN, DOCPRO, ACTING, OH MY!

BOOYAH!!!
My top 3 choices of electives, all in! Beat that =P

I've already known of this since monday, just wanted to wait til thursday when i can make sure.
Of course, this piece of good news just HAD to come with a consequence. Monday happened to be the day that our attachment/internship results came out.

Guess what? I got a friggin B+

Checking with the people around me, it seemed that A's are more common than B's and B+'s for the attachment program.
Oh well, at least it's managed to pull my accumulated GPA to 2.8... just hope that i get to keep this up to a 3.2 at least...

While sharing our attachment grades, Disa asked me this question: "Why should I ask around other people's grades?"
This led to my creation of 'Grade Sharing Ethics'. This is a set of rules that we should follow to facilitate the basic human nature of inquisitiveness. To put it simply, this set of rules will help us know each others' grades easily with ease and no harm will be done to our relationships. Here goes:

1. Ask as simply as possible - Cut the long story short, cut to the chase, get to the point. We just want to know their grades so it'll be better if we just pop up in their instant messengers and say ''Yo, how're your grades?"

2. Blame it on the lecturer - Rather than putting yourself down or boasting about your prowess, I think that it is wiser to just say 'aiyah must be Mr. XXXX's help!' This will direct any hate generated away from everyone and onto the lecturer. I know this is evil but it beats quarreling over a piece of paper!

3. 'not as good as you' and 'slightly better' - of course always phrase your words properly so as not to offend your potential groupmate!

4. Do not hide your grades - Many would think that it is better to not tell others your grades. Contrary to popular believe, doing so would generate gossip on both extremes. Very bad for your reputation!

5. Ask around and keep notes - It is always courteous to keep a note of the grades scored by those you've approached. This will help others get a clear picture of who's where. The other purpose is to prevent frustration; imagine 50 people asking you the same thing simultaneously!

Cheers!
