When you say you have "no interest", is it because
I think more likely is the first
one bah. after all, after O levels, you were most likely playing
everyday for around 5 months before Poly started. Somehow, most
people would not have the mood to study in their initial weeks of
poly education as they have to settle down and get back to studies.
but now is the 6th week (including orientation week) already
leh...
you not able to cope with the
workload while socialising in all the poly activities, is
it?
personally, I do not think you are in the wrong course, because
if this is the wrong course, then why did you even choose this
course during JAE? cannot be you anyhow choose de, right?
must be because you have the interest to pursue a certain field
and you want to opt for this course to obtain a diploma and
thereafter seek further qualifications to achieve the kind of
employment opportunities you want, that's why you opt for this
course to begin with.
do you still remember why you want to pursue this diploma
course?
anyway, from the way you write, I
do not think it is really because you lack interest that's why you
want to withdraw. "Lack interest" is just an excuse and actually,
it is because you prefer to in another polytechnic that's why
you want to withdraw, right? because you mentioned that "it was
already too late for any transfers/appeals to another poly". If it
is change to pursue another diploma, then it should be change
course, not change poly.
well, I know Ngee Ann Poly is less
accessible than Singapore Poly, Nanyang Poly and Republic Poly
and you everyday have to endure the very tiring journey to
school - mainly because there is no direct MRT connection and you
have to alight halfway (at Clementi) and take bus to school, and
thereafter, you still have to climb steep slopes and walk another
distance to the school your course is in. but do remember you are
not the only one who has to go through such a tiring daily routine,
twice a day. in fact, there are many many people who had went
through the same routine as you are going through now, and they had
already made it through and graduated.
please know that you are studying for the diploma, not for
the polytechnic name to be associated to you. actually, it does not
matter which polytechnic you are in. ultimately, what matters is
what diploma you have. because when you go out to work next time,
the employers will look at what qualifications you have, not really
which school you go to and not even which class you were in; they
only care about your qualifications, which in this context
is the diploma that you will be awarded after you completed
the course.
well, if it is really because you
are pursuing a diploma that is not related to the career that in
your heart you really want to pursue next time, then I suggest you
should simply withdraw and seek temporary employment until next
year then apply for another course, rather than continue to waste
time doing what you do not like to do.
nonetheless, please think about it carefully.
I'm number 2... my decision on my course was pretty rashly made
because I was influenced by others on how good my current course is
and i just go with the flow without thinking of what i want to do
in the future. Now that I know what I want, I can't change my
course yet. I want to do events next time, and I'm currently in
optometry which totally has no relevance. I have been working
throughout my holidays, so I didn't have a problem switching my
life back to studies. Poly activities won't affect me since I have
none currently. As for my reason for writing "it's too late to
transfer to any transfers/appeals to another poly" is because even
if I appeal in NP, my appeal will not be successful because of the
O level cut off for the course that I want is 10 and my R4 score is
a 15, hence it's impossible for me to transfer to my desired
course.
