It's pretty much like uni/poly where there are so many different "modules" to cover and after a few "modules" there's one consolidating practical exam. What I love about the practical exam is that YOU CANT MUG FOR IT! Books are a definite NO-NO for me. Glad that most of the time are spent in the simulator instead of hitting the books.

Sad to say, there are still a lot of vital information that needs to be STUDIED and hence the theory exams. Speaking of which, the next theory exam is NEXT WEEK! To add icing to the cake, there's also a project presentation in the same week. I guess I'm going through the motion of things and hopefully it continues on this momentum. Most of the time I love the feeling of being so caught up in work cause time seem to pass faster. I love the sense of achievement when works get done PROPERLY with STANDARDS. Does this make me a workaholic? Or a high performer?
Still the same worry though, part of me is scared to OOC. I'm scared of failing because I want to do well. Part of me is fighting to better myself everyday, just to see how far I can push myself. I'm somewhat a perfectionist and I demand high standards for myself. Then again, personal standards are subjective. For example completing 2.4km in 10mins may be considered a "high standard" to someone else but for me if I manage to hit 12mins I'd be over the moon! Does it mean 10mins is a higher standard than 12mins? What are the criteria to determine so?
I believe strongly in healthy competition where everyone strives together and excel. Maybe it may seem a tad bit idealistic since it requires everyone to be altruistic but still, what's the point of reaching the top but you're stepping on others? What respect will you earn?
Hi! Have been following your blog and I'm really excited to see your updates!
ReplyDeleteJust wanna ask if you get to choose what you wanna do in c3. Would your path be allocated to you or will you have the chance to indicate your interest? Also, is the oos rate very high? It's quite scary to fail the course right ��
Thank you! :)
Hello there! :) Thank you for reading my blog! We cannot choose what we want to do in C3 sadly. You may still indicate your interest right at the start, hopefully it may count for something. Better to say than not at all right? :D
DeleteOOS rate actually isn't high. As long as you do your best, the instructors also do their best to help. It's definitely scary thinking about failing the course.. But if I do fail because I'm not cut out for it, then I'll have to accept it and look for other options.
Hope this reply helps!

Hi Jess :) I hope that you do join us in RSAF! Yep, the purpose of this blog is to share my experiences so that other females may not feel so scared when they apply because initially during the application process, it may seem rather lonely. It was only during my interview stage that I other females (about 6) and next at equipment fitting, then I met much more other females(about 30?).
DeleteHope to see you soon in RSAF!! :)
