FYP-Hunting

Just a few days ago, I began to email Professors to search for a suitable lab to do my Final Year Project. I guess this is NUS's way of preparing you for job-hunt when you graduate. So far, I've emailed about 7 Profs and among them, there are 2 positive replies (indicating they have projects available), 2 negative replies (lab's full or no projects available) and no replies from the rest (how demoralizing)



Anyway, I've just met one of the prof this afternoon and things doesn't look that good considering that she's interviewing a few other students and I do not intend to continue to do PhD. She'll let me know by the end of March whether I'll be accepted or not. I think continuing to pursue Masters/PhD is seen as a very important criterion with some Profs listing that as their top criteria. Maybe I should start considering too

I'm not sure when the registration date is for FYP but this e-mailing and not getting much response is not something that I like. Maybe I'm not spending enough time to hunt for FYP or maybe I started too late? But whatever it is, I must persevere until I get a project now that I've decided to continue to do honours.

We've also applied for the MOE Teaching Internship. Hope we can get it. Then at least there's something to do this coming hols. It's only a one month internship so there are still lots of time left for a well-deserving break. I'm already starting to think about what to do for the upcoming holidays.
I hope to spend a month or so to learn driving. A skill which I think is not essential but useful to know. I don't think I'll have much time to learn once I start working next time so hope to accomplish it this coming hols. I might also start literature review of my FYP project depending on the Prof (well, that's assuming I can get a project in the first place) And lastly, maybe find a part time job or internship to earn some money and have FUN!

Alright, time to start working on my assignment that's due next week.
