Happy belated Malaysia Day to all of my Malaysia friends!
This post was initially planned to be released on 16th of September
but then was postponed because I had an outing on that day. I was too busy to
write a post.
Well,
in this release, I am going to share my own experience to all of you on the “add
drop session” in UUM that was the event that happened exactly after the
orientation week. Perhaps this also happened in the other universities. Only
other universities may use a different name or different progress.
The first batch
My
batch is actually the first batch to be given the chance to add or drop online for the
subjects we took for our respective course. The batch before was not given the
opportunity therefore they were forced to follow whatever that was already in
their timetable. They could only do manual add drop but our batch can do both
manual and online add drop.
What
being planned and what actually happened are always different but it is better
to have a plan rather than going ahead without any goal or direction. This add
drop session really made me suffer when I had to do a lot of plans including
Plan A, B and C on the eve of the add drop day.
The add
drop session will last for around 3 days and 12 hours. However, most of the students
will be waiting in front of their gadgets to login to their portal and
preparing themselves to grab the time session they preferred. Same went to me.
Long time planning
On the
day before the add drop session, I planned until 1 am for around 3 hours. I
even missed the call from my family. Luckily, I succeed to come out with at
least one perfect plan for my own after the 3-hours-work.
With
the advice from my senior before my plan, I made up a plan with the most
strategic locations and the most appropriate time session. Among the advice are do not arrange the time until 5.30 pm since it is really exhausting and make
sure there are as less gap as we can between two subjects.
Manual add drop started earlier
As what
I said earlier, what I planned was a little bit different from what happened on
the next day. On the next day, I did not have any classes in the morning. The
add drop session started from 12 pm so I still have some time looking back at
my plans and do some adjustment. What surprised me was the manual add drop
session started at 9 am!
This really
made me nervous. Since I was new here, I was lost in finding the exact location
for the manual add drop session. Together with my friends, we quickly went to
the bus station and rushed to the School of Computing (SOC), that was the first
school providing manual add drop session by boarding a bus.
We
reached there around 11.15 am. It was quite late. Since the online add drop
session had not started yet, we rushed here and there to search for the SOC
lab. My friends reached a little bit late since they missed the station in
front of the SOC. We were accidentally separated by the crowd in the bus.
Different schools responsible for their own students
The
lecturer-in-charge in SOC helped me in the manual add drop session. What
surprised me was then she suddenly spoke out some words.
“You
are not supposed to be here. You are not SOC students but SQS.”
The
words made me nearly laughed. On that moment only I know that the students must
go to their respective school for the manual add drop. On the same time, I
realized that SOC was the only school which opened for that session on the
particular moment.
A nice lecturer
Luckily, that lecturer was quite good and still help me although I am not their student. I succeed in getting the courses I want according to my plan. However,
one of the subjects was full and the empty session did not match my need. In
the end, I was only be able to register for 17 credit hours in this semester,
which differs from my original plan that was 20 credit hours.
For most
of the students, I am sure you had been giving up and continued with that 17
credit hours throughout the semester. However, I am not that kind of person who
will simply say, “Enough already” and continue with what had being set for you.
Determination... Success
In two
days after the add drop session, I thought of the pros and cons of having 20
credit hours rather than 17 credit hours in the first semester. Finally, on the
second day before the add drop session ended, I made up my mind to go to the
school that the subject belongs to and fill in the appeal form.
I told
the staff who was in-charge that day that I was determined to take the subject
this semester since I desired to shorten my studies. Up to my surprise, my
appeal was approved in just an hour. Although the group given to me was not
what I appeal before, but at least I succeed in getting a course that was fully
occupied by other students!
Moral of the story
In
conclusion, you can see the power of determination. As long as you are
determined, do not stop halfway. Go ahead with it and I am sure you will get
what you desired, just like life.
That is
all for today, I hope that you enjoy reading this and enjoy your day as well.
Thanks
for reading! :-)
