numbed but pressing on

yes, this is an update of my life.

pardon my long absence from this blog of mine but last couple of weeks have been filled with events, trials, lectures, tutorials.. all on top of the adjustment to life in NUS. it was a hectic start but i am still breathing.

so, to the point of lectures and tutorial/lab sessions first. lectures tend to speed through the content, sending me (hopefully not only me) totally lost. they always make me feel as though i was dropped into some thick Brunei forest without a compass or map but was expected to find my way out. tutorial/lab sessions sort of the ones that drop little hints that provide minimal help. the remaining struggles have to come from within me. ohh wells, shall get used to it.. i hope i am not the only feeling this way in college studies.. or i am doomed. another thing to get used to is being taught by tutors or professors with weird accents. yeah.. you know what i mean. yes, they are smart but at times i wish they could also speak more clearly to cater to locals' understanding.

next, to the part of hall CCAs. i signed up for many but many reject me as well. so far i have only one confirmed spot but it isn't enough to secure a room in my second year of studies. i have faced so many rejections that i am numbed to them. initially, it can be really depressing but well the positive side of me is always dominant.. thankfully. anyway, i have thought of alternatives and what not already.. in preparation that things don't turn out the way i hope for. still waiting on some CCAs to reply though but yeah.

out of school, tuition has been keeping me really busy during weekends. limited time spent on revision and social time. really looking forward to the next few weeks when i can "let go" of my students to go for their final exams. then i can spend more time for myself, my family, my friends.

on a side note, since it is the start of a new month, let's make a random goal.. to blog more often so as to distract myself from all the hassle of a student's life, giving myself needed break time.
