I am supposed to update my blog as frequently as possible. However, due to time constraints and suffocating deadlines, I realise that my time allocated for this blog is really limited. Starting mid-April to June should have been the time for me to enjoy my break since these are the months of semester break. What happens is that, it is during these times that activities and programmes which are normally obstructed by classes would take place. Many people get the impression that once the semester is over, lecturers would enjoy the holiday as well. However, it is not the case here. These are what I have used my time from April to June:
End of April to mid May:
Preparing and mailing Lecturing in English invitation letters to more than 700 learning institutions in Malaysia
Submission of BICOLL conference paper
Marking of final exam papers
Exam Meeting of BEL120 (chaired this meeting since I am in charge of this code)
Submission of COMPASS article (monograph)
Exam Meeting of Faculties
Mid May to End of May:
Preparing BEL120 Course File and Teaching Portfolio for Internal Auditing
Researching and writing a few articles to be sent to journals and conferences
Attending Translation Workshop at DBP, KL
Early June:
Attending BICOLL Conference, Sarawak
Uploading videos and other applications to Lecturing in English blog
Mid June:
Preparation for Lecturing in English Course
Preparing an article for KONAKA conference
End of June:
Submission of abstract for a conference (can't remember the name) in Sarawak somewhere in November
...and suddenly it's JULY!!! and it's time for a new semester...
It's a really hectic and short break, would you agree with me?
