CS3216 means this to me

So.... what do i expect to learn in CS3216 hmmm....

Ok well, it might be a little awkward to say that throughout my learning journey, I have never pictured myself to be the best in something. And I don't really wanna be the best. When i was little I thought I was just lazy. Later on I realized that :D I am the kind of person who does not believe in things like "sacrificing a little pleasure now in exchange for greater pleasure in the future". Ya.... nice excuse :D Anyway, it takes tremendous amount of effort to be the best in something. I always though, well, as a student, I do not have to push myself that hard, i deserve to enjoy life. So what I always do is that, i take the opportunity to know about those real awesome people, and figure out where I am lacking, then work towards them a little. Just to make sure I'm hanging fine.

I would say that is what I hope to achieve taking CS3216.

Of course if you ask every single student who has taken this module so far, they would say it is a great chance to learn about building a project, to learn about coding stuff. And it definitely is. Still, I kinda feel that :D there is really no rush to learn about teamworks and things, part of the reason is that, I always felt this kind of things come in natural. I'm an outgoing person, I don't really worry about that. Another part of the reason is that, anyway we will be taking internship and things soon, that would be a even better opportunity to learn about this kind of things.

The more important thing is, as a year 2 student, after one year of staying in SOC, I have some idea about where i am, or how good/bad i am. CS3216 is a really attractive module, there will be a lot of real awesome people joining it, it is a great opportunity to help me to place myself more accurately. And to figure out my strength and weakness.

That being said, I have a plan for myself in NUS :D First year to get all the fundamentals solid, second year to challenge myself and know where I am in NUS or to say in Singapore, third year is the year of internship and hopefully going to North America to see what people are doing over there besides drinking beer :D haha. 4th year hmm... Lets see how the first 3 years go.

Guess that is all I have to say about what i hope to achieve in CS3216

    hahah reading this reminded me of my own plans back then. i guess life is pretty unpredictable and things change along the way. that said, stay true to our dreams and keep heading that way. can't go wrong. or at least not by much. :P
