Summary of the last semester (first semester of my sophomore year)

So I'm on my vacation currently, and I thought that it is time for me to write something here. I actually have bunch of stories to write but I was too lazy to organize my thoughts and turn on computer.

Here’s summary of the last semester. Last semester was actually so hard for me. I don’t really know why, I took classes as many as the 2nd semester of my freshman year which means that I just listened to average number of classes. Also timetable was super-fine, I liked it very much, since it did not make any time wastes. However, my stress level got higher and higher, and when it came to finals, my head tried to blast. The result, my grade got lower than before, more stress I get, the lower grade I get. I mean, when I was in freshman year, I got great grade even though I didn’t fully focus on studying majors, I even did not go to school for a month since I worked as a translator in Incheon Asian game. So it came so weird. Doing nothing than the before, leading it to lower grade.

Keep thinking about it, I thought that the problem was that there were several subjects that did not fit well with me. I am not good at memorizing theories, and there were two subjects dealing with memorizing theories-Organizational Behavior, and Criminology. In organizational behavior, I had no motivation in studying hard- To tell you the reason why, in the class of organizational behavior, I ruined my team project: To choose a leader and show how their leadership was effective. Our group chose Hong Myung-Bo, who was the coach of Korean soccer team before. We wanted to show how he worked well as a coach, and why he had to resign- The both sides of his leadership. The aim of the project, and the theme was good. However team work was the problem. As I am not good at yelling at people, even though my teammates did not finish on the time, I couldn’t yell at them to finish on time. I just kept asking “Hey are you done? Can you do it by tomorrow?” So the project did not finish on the time, and I was so angry, on the side, I was so spiritless. Not only that, but also the class was super-boring. Professor did nothing but read the script she made. Would she know that her class was the most boring class I ever took? I mean literally everyone in the class slept during the class. For these reasons, I sincerely had no motivation in studying the subject. I hope I get a bit interest in the class when I take the class again

Criminology. Actually it was the best class I ever took. The theories were great, and it was class that I learned a lot. It was just that, I was not good at memorizing theories. On the test day, what I could remember was just outline of each theory, not the full content. I think that’s the reason why I got low grade in this class, but I have no regret in taking this class. It was great to meet people from other major, listen to their thoughts. It’s just that… I got a low grade L

Well, reading back my writing, I think that I am thinking my last semester so negatively. True, since the grade gave me big shock, and currently I’m in chaos- I am not sure what subjects to listen, how to study in next semester. But it's not that I did not enjoyed last semester. Except those two subjects, I really enjoyed the other classes such as Principles of marketing. Loved team project, really had fun. It made me to want to keep study the subject deeply.  

One thing for sure is that I am not going to spend my precious time like last semester. I am going to try out for diverse activity. I think the main reason why I did not enjoy last semester is that I did not do diverse activities and only spend my time on listening to lecture, doing homework- I wasn’t energetic, or vigorous. I hope I spend next semester energetically.
