Beginning of second year


10 September 2012
                This day was my first day that started of second year life in the UM. After past 2 months having a long rest, I was fully recovered from the tiring first year life. Looking forward to learn more and know more about the majoring that I took. 22 credit hours sound heavy for this semester but I had to get rid of it. Besides, even was the same faces, but different outlook & style, I still able to recognize my course mates in my faculty. Kept sharing the experience we had for the 2 months holidays. I had a new change among of my course mates. I stayed in my house instead of staying in college. I had to drive to campus everyday and suffer during traffic hours.

                My timetable for Wednesday was packed, starting from 10am to 5pm, did not have any break between them. Thanks to my 10am – 11am period lecturer, extended her time from 10am – 12am, no time for lunch. Besides, I had met with a new lecturer who was going to teach us Audio Synthesis which made me worry about this course. Based on my first year experience, my CGPA had badly spoilt by a new lecturer. However, because of him, I learnt to be independent without referring anybody. After knowing the schedule that the new lecturer gave, almost every week would be having a quiz, an assignment and a tutorial. Well, let’s see first, because the teaching style of the lecturer was different with those lecturers I had met before.

                Just 1 word, stress. Having a replacement tutorial class from audio synthesis. He gave us a time limit to submit the tutorials and asked us to explore the audio software – Csound. Honestly, I just learnt to use Csound, knew nothing about it and he wanted us to submit the tutorial by this day. Again, struggling the tutorials, tried very hard to understand the questions, understand what lecturer wanted from us and familiar to Csound. Unfortunately I had to sacrifice my database lab section to rush this assignment which I felt very sorry to the instructors.

                Finally submitted the first assignment of audio synthesis, but disappointed with the quiz just now. Perhaps I did not prepare well before taking this quiz. Each time when the lecturer told me that the quiz or test or exam was very simple, I felt that was a lie for us to not be tension. Unfortunately, I thought that was a sentence which would disappoint me after finished the test. And the lecturer of operating system gave to all multimedia students a challenge in order the break the record from previous multimedia senior to score an A for operating system. I wondered whether I could pass with a flying colour in this semester or not since there were 3 new programming language had to learn such as Matlab, OpenGL and Csound. Furthermore still I was having 2 heavy subjects: database and operating system.
