One whole week of holiday has passed. I've been revising through my modules every night of the first week holiday. To achieve that goal, i've to keep up this good habit of reading through notes and stuffs. And do some works on it. So 1 more week left till school reopens and i'll continue to revise my work to achieve my goal.

I've finished up another part of the project. I've revised my java basics. I hope when the time comes, i'll be able to use it and not forgetting about how to apply it.

Holidays are coming, i've to stay focus on my lifestyle and work. I've found something that movtivates me in school. That is my friend! We've decided to work harder this semester , having a companion will probably push you better .

I promised i won't take any nap after school. Because if you do that, it'll really turn your timing around. You'll not sleep at night and only sleeps after midnight. It totally spoils the day. Okay, my java is disaster and i have to work on it since holidays starting soon.

Okay, I'm doing a part of my project. Because the key thing to achieving my goal is to finish up project earlier before the deadline so i can have more time for other modules.

I've adjusted my lifestyle to accommodate my school time. As i've said, sleeping habits played a very important part in achieving the goal. So in other meaning, i can get up early for classes without being late!

This post today is for PD goals. i've to blog my goals and what i've done. Ok, i've change my goal. My goal is to get a GPA of AT LEAST 2 this semester.

What's GPA some people may ask. Grade Point Average. It's numerical calculation weighted by student contact hours and credit points for higher education programs, of the mean of the grades received over a defined study period. The uses of it.

-Being a measure used to select students for Prizes and Scholarship.
-Providing a basis for eligibility for selection into research programs.

GPA was first implement by University of Cambridge in 1792. For Polytechnic, The graduation criteria is to accumulate at least 1.0 for their GPA. For entrance into local university, the minimum criteria is to accumulate at least 3.5-3.8 for their GPA depending on each course. As for overseas university, the criteria is slightly lower which can range from 2.0-3.0.

Credit points is an important factor in calculating GPA. All courses have credit points which reflect the total student workload required in order to satisfactorily complete the course.

To get a GPA of at least 2.0 isn't challenging for some people but people like me, who skip classes so often. It may be a problem. To get at least 2.0, i can skip school no more. Because attendance for your information calculates a few percentage in the modules, that's what it is in Ngee Ann. I'm sure NYP is the same.

In Ngee Ann, semester 1 i got a GPA of 1.4, and in sem2 a GPA of 0.6. It's really really lousy. I need to buck up for my projects and Exams in order to push up my grades.

The first step towards the goal is to set a good mindset about the school because having no movtivation, i skipped school. If i can set a good mindset , i won't tend to skip school.

Secondly, i've to finish my projects before the deadline. Because if i just finish on the day of the deadline, i'm sure the work will look rushed and untidy, therefore marks will be deducted.

If i finish days before the deadline, i've got plenty of time to look through and give it a final touch up before i hand it over to the teacher. Thirdly, it's time for me to read up on the notes already. Exams are coming, if i can pass the exam with an acceptable results, 2.0 isn't hard for me to grab it.
