Anyway, I just returned from my escapade to Sunway University College and HELP Institute. At first, I only intended to visit the Monash campus at Sunway to dig for some information regarding the business course available and also about their transfer programs to other universities in Australia. The whole package seems very attractive except for the fees which just surprised me totally. Well, then after that, I suggested to try HELP because I heard that they also offered a business course too and also allows you to transfer to the 'Group of Eight' which is the titular title given to the top eight universities in Australia. They are, as I just found out today, Uni. of Melbourne, Uni. of Queensland, Australian National University, Uni. of Western Australia, Uni. of Sydney, Uni. of Adelaide, Uni. of New South Wales, and Monash Uni. Six of them are state unis. which are supposed to be the better ones while the other two are non-state unis. but still good all the same. It seemed that HELP was more flexible in terms of its transfer programs where they are affiliated with all of the Group of Eight universities except for Monash because Monash already have their own established campus at Sunway so it will seem kind of pointless. There are of course other universities that one can choose to transfer too but I think that these are the more popular ones per se. In addition, the HELP fees per semester is so much cheaper in comparison to Monash's. I know that for a fact that loads of Taylor's College SAM graduates will usually go for the Monash pathway, so by taking the HELP pathway, I'll actually be taking the less traveled route. Hence, the reiterated blog title.
Basically the subjects that I'm going to be studying in HELP and Monash are about the same or similar to one another so there shouldn't be a problem. The only difference is that Monash's program begins in the second or third week of February 2005, if I'm not mistaken, while HELP's one starts in 24th January 2005. Either way I'll have to find something substantial to fill up my time or else I'm going to rot at home and never see daylight till that time comes.
So, what about the law path that I was thinking and meandering about before?
Well, based on my SAM results, it seems that Legal Studies appeared to be my weakest subject. Which is really ironic because Accounting Studies was my strongest subject even though I hate it, while I actually enjoy reading law, much to my amazement. So, it seems that I should go for accounting or something along that line which takes me back to the business route that I intended to go for in the beginning. By opting to go this path, I would probably have to give up studying law completely unless I can study business law which is actually what I would really love because it's the combination of both areas that I can do and like doing at the same time.
It seems that my future legal practice and litigation plans are going down the abyss as I begin to see the light. I have a week to think this thoroughly and ponder even more before I register with the university of my future.
I still can't believe that this new phase in my life is already beginning. My dad even asked me if I wanted to go to Australia next year and do the whole three year program right there and then. I don't think I'm ready at all for that lest even starting university life in Malaysia. I know I should be more than ready now but it's all a little too much for me to take it all in just yet. I'm such a whiner.
My life is pretty much revolving around these few issues currently so don't hope for fun stuff anytime soon.
