Packing up - Uni

Of all subjects, it's the breadth subjects materials that I can't seem to part with.

The Core (Accounting esp) just went to the bin straight away.

Almost all gone. Nada. zilch.

I guess that meant that I enjoyed my breadths whole-heartedly.

Creative, Play and Art - where I went on kindergarden site observations as well as designed a summer vacation kids program!

Intercultural Communication - where I eave-dropped on train to investigate how people greet each other differently as well as conducted a research on Apologies cross-culture!

And the most memorable subject for me was Generating the Wealth of Nation, taught by none other but Prof. Jeff Borland. The readings were marvelous materials (mostly history) and they are my train-read No. 1. But the pinnacle has got to be my research on the Spaniards conquer of Mexico using guns and germs.
I felt most heartbroken seeing the materials packed into the recycle box.

Nonetheless,
All hail the New Generation model that allowed for breadth subjects (albeit the controversies that saw the ranks slipping)- for exposing us to not only Commerce knowledge but almost everything under the sun!

I'm lying if I said I didn't enjoy the course. The knowledge, the insights & perspective, the skills.

BComm 2008-2010 rox my socks (is that how it's said )! I'm an ALUMNI now! hahahaha.



PS: This time around, it's not UniMelb brochure materials ;p
