Reminds me of that Five for fighting song instantly where it goes something like , 'i can't stand to fly, i'm not that naive, men weren't meant to ride with clouds between their knees...it's not easy ,to be me~'
seriously, being a superhero isn't easy,especially when you are FORCED to be one=__= but alas, there ARE courses in my uni that exist to make superheroes, and to be more specific, supermans. Credit goes to the man behind whatever that seemed normal at first.. :drum rolls:
tada! surprise surprise..that would be our beloved man of steels of HRM: Mr. Mazuki Jusoh .(pardon me for putting up his full name here coz i really do like the sound of it, very mixed-blood :P)
okay,that brings us all the way back to the 1st sem in Delta year, where those who later regretting-ly do not choose to take Research will need to take 2 subjects as replacements,1 in 1st sem and the other in 3rd sem. so you see, there are 2 phases of torturement in the entire process to become a superman. the 1st sem subject seemed normal enough from the way it sound: Decision Making. so there's lots of theories as usual and an individual assignment... an individual assignment. oh do i just repeated that? pardon me , that is where we are made to be THE ONE in a painful way. maybe not all felt it but i'm certain it's 90 percent of the members in my class.
we are supposed to write a literature review based on at least eight journals. and what on earth would a 'literature review' be ? something like a book or music review like those appearing in Sunday the Star? heck. we weren't taught to walk yet but we r expected to fly like supermans.
i was pretty anxious at first, surfing for journals for the virgin time ( oh it means the first time ) from what i later found to be useful --the library's database, after paying thousands of RMs nearly for free for nearly 4 years, and the internet as well for about a month. we r also supposed to let the head man of steels approve our topics first before we can continue anything. i was one of the lucky ones to go through at 1st attempt, ,better luck than some who only got their's approved after 2nd or 3rd attempt.
i remembered i hadn't slept more than 5 hours during presentation week. 2 days before the presentation, i received the shock of my life-- ALL my journals turned out to be irrelevant as all of them were not empirical studies or whatsoever. hell, i went blank when i was told to this at the very last minute...all my efforts were useless afterall! even if i am some sort of wonderwoman i couldn't possibly get everything done within 2 days! then it came to me that i really have to fake up something to be excused from presenting on that day. so i managed to make myself look as pale as possible in the clinic to get an MC and to get pass Mr Mazuki ( actually i didn't fake much either because not sleeping properly for 1 week does contribute alot to my chalk-like face ). yet again, i'm lucky to get another 5 days to redo everything.
things went okay till presentation morning. my diskette couldn't be read by the freaking computer in CLC so i have to present during the next session.( i considered this lucky because i accidentally received extra time to prepare my slides nicely~) I guess lady luck wasn't with me in the evening because i nearly missed my presentation for oversleeping -_______-
oh well anyway, everything turned out fine in the end.
survivors as we are, some dropped the subject, some broke down, some grew insane, some commited suicide...(alright i made up the last bit~)...and that is the making of a superman--phase 1. huhu. and i really thought everything was over haha.
this sem i took the 2nd replacement subject Leadership with another phase 2 superhero training assignment--6 critique essays. if these are critiques about newspapers or magazine stories(which would be impposible), life would be a bed of roses and mazuki wouldn't be called mazuki for nothing.dude, why call superhero training assignments when it's not enduring enough??
first of all, journals come in first come first serve basis-- we can't choose journals that others had already choosen it earlier; secondly, all opinions must be based on other researches (we r talking about critiqing researches using other researches. dammit, no self-creations or some sort like
that); thirdly, we need to pass up all 6 essays on the presentation day itself and lastly, for the love of God, i'm the first presenter on the first day of presentation. 'nuff said.
at this stage, i kinda missed that freaking literature review assignment.
seriously, i do not know how i managed to finish up 6 essays within 6 days with additional 2 assignments+presentations and 2 midterms in a week. at least i'm not on my way to ICU...or
maybe i already AM a superhero by now?
hmm...i might be.
p.s: anyone who is interested to make this into a reality tv show or perhaps a movie are welcomed.
