Week 8

I am in the middle of Week 8 now. The feedback I received regarding my discussion participation greatly helped in improving my reading strategy and responses - overall participation. It is challenging. I have plenty of time, but i oscillate between other thoughts and reflection and those required by the courses.

There are days when I want to give up and feel discouraged and overwhelmed. The only thing that keeps me going is I have nothing else more compelling or demanding. On the flip side, I am learning a lot about the world we live in and what governs it. No doubt the courses are extremely demanding, but when its all over it will be worth it.

Two professors at Edinburgh have agreed to submit a reference to my PhD application at Schulich Business School. I am still unable to get a response from my UOWD professor despite repeated and persistent attempt on phone and email. I leave it upto Allah to decide this for me.

A Low Grade

So i finally received a grade for one of the mid-terms. I did not comply with the format requirement and suffered a low grade. I didn't think it was going to be a big deal, and I didn't know if it was a strict requirement.

Its my fault, and I took the instructions lightly. its a 20% worth assignment, but I will have to do whatever it takes to get through the classes and degree. This is tough! and i acted stupid.
why am I still careless!?
