BOO.


Posting two entries (this and the previous "Caught Cheating!") at one go because these entries were typed out on my phone but I haven't got the time to post it up until now.. Whenever it is that I am posting this up. My thoughts are changing almost everyday so as long as I have not post this up, I will be editing it somehow.

So from the title, yes this entry is going to be academic-related.

I have officially chosen the course that I want to take.

Bachelor in Science (Honours) Accounting and Finance (University of London)

My first choice was this because I was quite interested/attracted by accounting during my semesters 2&3 of my Diploma in Management Studies.

Recently I got "attracted" to other courses from UOL because they seemed easier, and they are my friends' choices. But awhile later I figured that the business courses, to me, are almost the same. Therefore I went back to Accounting & Finance.

My eyes are fixed on UOL because it's 100% examination based. Yes I know it will be difficult but I really don't like projects. So this might just be a better choice for me.

I am not you, you are not me, and we can't predict the future. So we really can't say which path is going to be better for who. The only thing we can do is take the step and see how it goes.

The other reason why I confirmed Accounting & Finance is because of what my mother thinks. She thinks that A&F has more job prospects in the future as compared to the rest of the degrees. But she kept telling me it's up to me and what I think is more interesting for me.

I decided to go ahead with A&F since it was my gut choice and my mother gave it the nod (kinda).

The last time I made a choice, disaster followed. So I think it's time I listened (although till now she still wants to let me choose).

Yeah. Since she approved A&F, I'm going ahead with it. And I will definitely get my accounting license (or something?) from ACCA no matter what.

Incoming! Another accountant (in our family) on the way!

A&F is Accounting and Finance okay. NOT Abercrombie & Fitch!

Edit: Saw my brother's friend Alex on the way home from school the other day. He's in UOL BSc (Honours) Banking and Finance. Didn't ask him too much about the course because that isn't what I wanted. (I did ask if finance is difficult because I'll be taking that too.) Just asked him on the overall of studying under UOL.

He says it's very individualistic. Yeah I guess we all know that. 100% examination based. Aside from the fact that you have to study very hard, no projects = no groupings = you can do everything alone = it's going to be up to you if you want to make new friends or not = no conflicts within groups/friends.

Now I'm even more certain that I want UOL. Not that I want don't want to make new friends or whatever. It's just that I'm so mentally & physically tired from my past/current projects. It's like.. Always rushing for deadlines.

Yup. I guess I'm ready to post this up.
