Just returned from another part of my backpacking. The places on my hitlist this time were Germany - Regensburg, Passau, Dresden; Czech Republic - Prague and Switzerland - Interlaken, Luzern, Zürich. It was a great experience, especially in Switzerland, not because I did all the touristic shit but rather I learnt alot from the places I been to, especially Interlaken. As I am damn tired now, I will blog about it in a seperate post. Cos I think Switzerland deserves a seperate entry of its own.
This will probably be the last big travel before my return back home. I have 1 extra day of Eurail pass left and most probably I might consider going to München to eat pork knuckles on Sunday or Baden-Baden to lie down naked together with other girls in the spa. Depends on how fast I clear all the administrative shit and pack up my luggage...
On a happier note, I received my grades for all my exams already and the transcript has already been prepared and sent to NUS already.
Out of curiosity I went to calculate my weighted average, although its not necessary to do so. And I was really surprised. I got a 1.64 for a weighted average! Which is like an A- standard in terms of NUS grades. And to think I was playing throughout the whole semester. In Singapore, to get this kind of grades I would have to make the library my second home. Not trying to gloat or sound smart here, but I did not expect to get such good grades when the semester started in February., especially for IT in service industry, the paper which I bullshitted all the way and could still get 1.0. Or even courses like German Financial Market or German Grammar which I took for fun without studying at all cos I did not intend to transfer them to NUS in the first place. Anyway I was laughing my head off when I read the transcript. If only my transcript for next sem in NUS will look like this.
Anyway, I am very happy with the grades, not only because they are far much better than what is required of an exchange student, but more importantly because I am toying with the idea of furthering my studies in a German-speaking country (Germany, Austria, Swiss) after I graduate and the grades attained during exchange will tell a story or two of what happened in Europe previously.
