End of Week 7
by Suhaila Usuludin ~ September 5th, 2008. Filed under: Latest News, Others.Time really flies! It’s now the end of Week 7 of my semester. So what have I been up to these few weeks?
As you can see from my Photo category of this blog, I went for 2 days trips last month: Mt Buller Snow Trip and Great Ocean Road trip. Both the trips were an eye opener for me. I recommend those who intend to join La Trobe University to sign up for events organised by the International Students’ Association as they provide huge discounts on such trips.
Well, that aside. Academic-wise, I had presented for the first time in this university. Culture difference as they feedbacked that we, Singaporeans, talked too fast! Probably, they may have difficulty understanding our accent or we really talked way faster than them back in Singapore. However, this is an important point to note for me as there will be many more presentations occuring in the next few weeks.
I have also handed up my first written assignment. They are very strict with referencing. Any missing full stops or italics, there your marks go.
I must say that although we are learning the same things (ok, revising), expectation-wise is much higher than in NYP. But we shall make it till the end 
As for the upcoming OT conference, I am not going due to financial issues. But not to worry, there will be always more opportunities when I’m back to work next year.
