Challenges

When I was offered the scholarship to take a work leave and pursue my Masters, I immediately chose to do it by Coursework. The other option being by Research which I know I'm not good at. Some people love collecting and analyzing data. Others like me prefer the old fashion study, assignments, tests and exams way of doing things.

I can study. Give me things to study, to memorize, I'll do it gladly. I'll organize my notes, rewrite them in colours and sit down for hours and hours of studying. I can go to classes, write down everything I can and adjust my brains to understand what the professors are saying.

But give me a research topic and I lose my way.

Tomorrow will be the first test of the semester. Advanced Highway Capacity Analysis. So far, the course has been good to me. I managed to understand the steps, tables and formulas. There may be some twists here and there, but with the help of my logic skills, I think I can handle it. Nervous? of course. It's a test. A "game" as Prof R would say. I just hope I score in this one. It's a "miniboss" before the final boss also known as Finals.

As for my research. After a lot of dilemma on who to pick as my supervisor, I decided to go for the new and young lecturer, Dr F. The other lecturers seem a bit too busy, always being unavailable when I try to visit them for advice. And I feel a little too inferior with the experienced pros. As for my (used to be) favorite lecturer, I'll pass. I don't wanna be a sidekick to anyone. Not today. So whatever it is, hopefully I'll get this done well.

Time to Kick Ass and Take Names.
