CL2102 Chinese Phonetics – A EL3251 Language Society and Identity – A- EL3880a Semantics in Generative Grammar – B EL3206 Psycholinguistics – B+ EL4204 Pragmatics – A GEK1036 Cross Cultural Communication – B+ CAP: 4.23 On…
So I finished my pragmatics paper today. I guess we’d all agree that the exam should be 3 hours, not 2. We hardly have time to finish writing, so what sort of quality answers can be expected anyway? Anyway, it’s over, so into the cupboard goes the 2 inches of notes. Whee~ And 4 more…
4 inches of … readings of course. (Whatever were you thinking? *wink*) I have to devour these 4 inches. Unlike the other time when I had to do 5 inches, I certainly have to read these cover to cover. Well, at least some 2 inches of it are open book. I can just imagine the…
For most EL majors, I suppose. Most of us year 3s have this vacuum in week 8 with nothing going on, for most mid-term exams are over in week 7 (this week), and week 9 is obviously hell week for most of us with projects due and presentations and random pieces of work to be…
Another post to take stock of what I have on my hands: Have done: 2 take-home exercises for CL2102 EL4204 Pragmatics open-book quiz (got 17/20. Oh well) Submitted group research project proposal/abstract for EL3251 Gave a crappy 5-minute presentation for said abstract 1 open-book quiz for CL2102 (What a pathetic amount of things done by…
… and I’m undecided if I’m happy or not. When I received news that we can write an individual research paper for Cross-cultural Communication (as opposed to a previous arrangement for a group research paper), I was so elated words cannot describe how happy I was. I love writing individual research papers; they give me…

Some statistics: Number of days going to school: 4 Number of days having to wake up before daylight: 2 Number of male lecturers: 5 Number of female lecturers: 1 Number of Korean lecturers: 2 Number of Korean lecturer with strange hip-hop moves and accent:…

It’s all finally over for me. This semester’s exams have been horribly dragged out for me; I started on the 1st day of exams (discounting the few Saturday papers prior to that) and ended on the last day. Pretty ridiculous, I know. But the most ridiculous thing is yet to come; next semester I will…
