Learn Less to Chase After Grades?
I was always of the opinion that the two are not incompatible. My senior attempted to convince me that my course terribly requires full focus from us. My professor advised against my taking up of positions in extracurricular activities. I tried to disprove them, but failed so far. Probably I just played too much. "Thirst for wisdom and knowledge" has always been the priority in my life. I don’t think I want to shake it for now. It is painful. Does it make a good reason to "move out of our comfort zone"?
My enthusiasm for blogging is waning. It is a nice and fulfilling experience. But it takes too much of my time. I am slow at organise and sort out things. I find it interesting that it started after my first paper and ended before the last paper in this final exam. Many thanks for the commendations, though I seriously do not think I really deserve it. I will only update once in a blue moon.

Ha, yes.. we spoke about FOCUS because we have went through that path. It’s tough to give up something to focus - I’m also multitasking now. But Actuarial Science is really not the same as Banking, HR, IT, etc etc…
So, you still have the choice and you have one more year to go. Make your choices wisely. I got burnt once and I wish less people will take my path. But perhaps that’s how we learn… need to bang the head into the wall to know that the wall is made of brick…
