Finally completed my module mapping for my exchange trip, and the whole process was freaking frustrating.....
1stly, the website for Lund University comes in both English and Swedish, but some pages are only available in Swedish, so I have absolutely no idea what the content on those pages are....
2ndly, the modules available for Semester 2 that can be mapped to my core modules at NUS are like SEVERELY limited.... Semester 1 has so many more options!! Plus the worse is I can't just use whatever past seniors have mapped cos some modules dun seem to be available anymore!! And those that are left just HAPPENED to be Master's modules...... Ughhh...... How am I supposed to cope...?!
3rdly, I dun really noe if I shud map all core modules over or try and balance things out wif sum UEMs (Unrestricted Elective Modules).... Cos UEM can slack a bit...but core mods you absolutely need to make sure you passed..... In the end, I mapped 4 core and 1 UEM (3 Higher Technical Electives, 1 Technical Elective and 1 UEM - Swedish for Exchange Students). I dun really noe if I'm gonna die for it considering that if my study plan DOES get approved, it means I'll be completing all 3 of my HIGHER ELECTIVES during my exchange trip, all 3 of which are Master's level modules...... Arghhhhh.....
Plus I dun even noe if the swedish course will be available in Semester 2....cos they only mentioned on the website that it'll be available in Sem 1 and didn't provide any more info regarding the module's availability in Sem 2..... Haihhhhh..........
Anyway, I found out that there's a senior frm my faculty who also went to Lund last year, and during Sem 2 too!! So I emailed him to ask about his module mapping... Hopefully he checks his NUSmail very often and can reply me soon....
In any case, let's just hope i can get at least 3 out of 5 mapped modules approved in the 1st round..... I noe 2 of them should be alright since past seniors have mapped those 2 before....but the rest, well they're like UNKNOWNS...... I had to dig deep into the website to get to those modules, and I dun even noe if they're more suited to Environmental Engineering or Civil Engineering.... The only thing I know is that all 3 of my higher technical electives are related to water.... Well considering that I got A for Water Science last sem, I think they should be alright...right..? Eh wait, last last sem I think I got B- or C+ for Hydraulics leh.... Ahhhhh shit.....
Heading over to Spore tmr. Shud be going back to hall first to put my stuff in Dennis' room, then head out to meet the rest at Tampines for badminton. Then spend the nite in hall, and on Saturday, it's room allocation le. Monday, my relatives from Malacca will be coming down, so at least there'll be some things to do by then. :D
