The Art Of Storytelling

This semester SUCKS!!! It's bull crap, and I can smell it from a mile away!

So anyway, my first CDS (it's like an extra subject) is Sociology. Ok right? Well, let me just rant and whine about the fact that it was my third choice!! My first was French and my second was Psychology! And I thought, wow! Maybe people who did better than me for their exams had already occupied all the spots for the first two choices, right? Well, wrong!! Apparently, other people who put French as their second choice and had a lower GPA score got the subject! I'm like, WHAT THE HAY-ELL!!! Seriously! It's so friggin unfair that I have to learn Sociology for the rest of the semester! Totally sucks! But quite a lot of people got Sociology. I totally hope it's not like Social Studies.

And yesterday, we had to pick another CDS subject for some reason. And there I was thinking, "Hey! Maybe this time, I'll get what I want!" And so first choice: French, second: Psychology, third: Japanese, and so on until sixth: Singapore Law. Yes, I know. It might be boring, but there weren't many choices. I would never want to pick The Art Of Storytelling! Haha! So that night, I was told that the subject selection results were already out and like a child on the morning of Christmas, I ran to the computer and switched it on, anticipating that I would get what I want. So a few minutes later, I checked my subject selection results and my heart dropped and shattered into a million pieces. Then a cat passed by a peed all over it.

I got Understanding Art. I picked Understanding Theatre as fifth choice, but I got Art instead. A lot of people got Art also. Ok, firstly, I didn't even pick that crummy subject, which indicates that I have no interest in Art whatsoever!!!! I bet the CDS people were like, "Hey! This guy doesn't seem to have Understanding Art in his choices! Let's put him in that subject and maybe he'll gain interest in it!" Urgh!! And to think that I'll be attending that stupid subject for the rest of the semester. Urgh!! They're gonna force us to go to museums! Yucks!

CDS is a chance for me to have fun learning new stuff that's interesting!!! I'm sorry, but when you're in my course, even I have to admit that the stuff I'm currently learning is totally boring! Like Cell Biology and Basic Microbiology and Human Physiology and Immunology and Maths! And now I have to learn Art! Great!

Urgh! I kind of wish there was a Film Appreciation CDS or something. I remember one time my brother had that kind of subject and he took home DVDs and would watch it as homework! Like, WTF!!! Now I have to bring like, The Last Supper home and try to superimpose Mary Magdalene's head on Jesus's shoulder and solve the Da Vinci Code or something!

And mind you, my GPA was quite well, 3.02. I don't see why they decided to give me a subject that I did not even choose!
