4000 feet below

yes this is an update of my life.

so after listening a few nostalgic pop songs.. i am back scrolling through my music library and listening to even more of those.. more than i intended couple of days back. shan't post for now but rather i feel the obligation to update my life right now.

first things first, this is always the first thing i talk about during school terms. yeah, academics.. yawn. boring but still.. the need to talk to ease my stress and what not. semester 2 is always a very hectic semester for a couple of reasons. one, when school just started, apart from the hassle of bidding modules and balloting tutorial slots, i have to prepare for the lunar new year. then when the lunar new year comes, i realised that i am way closer to recess week than i am before.. which means midterms are nearing and i am almost halfway through the semester. scarily fast. two, the applications of various stuff normally kicks in during this semester every year as well. application for financial aid. application for hostel. application for internship. yeah all occurring almost at the same time. three, i have to start to find more time to train myself in preparation for IPPT and reservist.. lol. no extra explanation required here.

so yeah.. the things i have to do apart from the constant catching up on classes are significantly more than semester 1. nonetheless, i am used to it already. just need to run through the to-do list and done list now and then to make sure i don't accidentally miss something.

those aside, been actively attending workshops and talks and what not to level myself up in the non-academic way. IQ is important but EQ is slightly more important in my opinion. i try and i strive.. hopefully making full use of the opportunities i am privileged to have. such things can be mundane at times but they can be another alternative to swimming 4000 feet below in the ice cold water known as level 4000 core modules. the constant feeling of drowning is unhealthy hence the need to explore other parts of me and my life.. lol. until next time then, cheers.
