My first subject at APC made me nothing but pleasantly surprised. Why is that? Because, as it happened, it was a glorious, glorious ALL ENGLISH TERM! Yahoo~! Isn't that wonderful?
Of course, you might be asking why it's wonderful, so allow me to answer: I consider myself very good, or at the very least well-versed at speaking and understanding English. So naturally, when I saw that all the subjects for my first term were in English, thoughts of a card where my grades averaged 3.5 floated fantastically.
Of course, life has a way of not going the way you want, and sometimes we forget that only to be reminded of it by a slap to the face, courtesy of reality. That slap to the face for me was when I realized that our grades would mostly be project driven, instead of based on test scores.
Let it be known that I am absolutely terrible with projects - not because I can't do them, but because I am freaking lazy. As in, really lazy. Cramming is practically my occupation.
Still, I'm nothing if not flexible, so I adapted quickly to the new curriculum. Take note, however, that quickly, does not mean easily: I had a killer of a time forcing myself to adjust to this new pace!
