I had eventually summit up my position paper last Friday.
It really give me a breath after summit it up. I am confident with all the points written in my position paper, but don't know if i could present it well on this Saturday. Honestly, i am a bit nervous to present my own point of views in front of others friends, bacause in the previous presentation, mostly what we presented were more to others point of view and cited from others sources, but this time around i have to present it spontenously, furthermore, it is my own points of view. NERVOUS! NERVOUS! NERVOUS!
Now started to worry about my research paper, when i accidentially heard that others friends who are under other supervisor already summited their final draft. Sometimes, it is hard for you to not getting everything compare...
Emmm... hopefully, my group could sort out everything by this week, or i am going to be carzy, as many other assignments come along and it is already week 10.

Research paper

Last night i heard a real bad news from one my group member, what we planned to do for our research paper does not match the requirement of the research paper. Suddenly, feel the world is turning to upside down and uhuhuh... it seems that i have to start everything all over again. Sometimes, really want to shoot myself for all the careless thing i have done.
I planned to compare a poem with a short story, which both share the same theme. "Mala" by K.S Maniam, a short story that we actually studied in our first or second semester, which i actually forget almost all the content inside. Well, what i found this time is while i read through the short story, i highlight most of the words or sentences that i found interesting or perharps might be points for the topic i am going to working at, compare to previous semester, in which i only read through the texts without think much of what i have read, after that just forgot like that. In short, i does not relate what i read with what i actually know... or even interpreting it. But, now as i read through any texts, i will hightlight the lines that attract me and try to relate and interpret.
A progress maybe, though it is a bit late, because it took me 3 years to do so. Well, i do believe that, this is better than nothing:)

Diaries

Oh… we can teach literature by using others diaries. A very new thing for me. I thought it would be something personal and private, because it is diary and definitely I won’t let others to read mine. Oh! Well, if there is some one out there wanted to read it.
I was even more surprised when I went through the net and found that there are a lot and a lot of people publish their own diaries on the web. The most fascinating diary that I found was ‘Willa’, try to go through this web site, www.willa.com it is a nice web site.
