Back to school [!]...or not Semester registration begins...it's actually a short semester that lasts for about 2 months (not the 4-month long semester) and 3 subjects were offered for my intake. I'm gonna take only one, which is the Computer Etiquette subject...lots to memorize...the cyber law, blah, blah, blah. That actually meant that I'll be spending 6 hours a week on that particular subject and three of my days will be spent going to class and I was so lucky that all the classes are in the morning. That way, I can spend my afternoons doing assignments, reading stuffs or learn some new languages. I was thinking of resuming my online Korean learning besides reading about XML, which appeared to be a very useful language. They're probably not gonna teach it in my diploma so I have to learn it on my own...hopefully my resume will look better by the time I'm going on industrial training next year. Whenever I go back to the campus, there's always this pressure that had been pulling me around for the past few months. Honestly, it wasn't such a good day for me today. It had been like a month since I finished my 2nd semester and I hadn't been back to campus until today and the air was strange. I didn't actually really remember which people I used to smile at when we walked pass each other. I mean, I don't actually know them but some of them are kinda friendly so there were some passive communication. Besides that, the pressure of club activities. I'm not kidding. Most people would love this but and having to make arrangements and actually planning it out was making it hard. I like the club and I wanted it to be there but I've never wanted to lead it. I'm not really a natural born leader and I'll work really hard towards being one if it's something that I was 101% interested in but debating isn't really my "natural" thing. I just started out and went for one competition and when I returned, someone asked me to form a society for it and I just agreed but most people at the campus don't seem to enjoy oppossing ideas. I mean, I just started out and what I really need now is really someone to guide me to become a better debater and not having to form a society that centered around something I was not even familiar with. I was still planning for university. A classmate told me about this local private college that was offering a distance learning degree program for computing. He told me about the fees and stuffs and I was quite interested to go there after my diploma. I can't wait, I hate waiting for something good to happen but I still have to wait. Still got a lot to learn. Ya know, if only I could wake up tomorrow and realize that part of my brain was already filled with stuffs I need to know and then I'll graduate and meet more challenges, like working on a project that's gonna really make people's life better. Honestly, going to classes and reading theories were so unpractical but I guess it was part of the learning process...maybe having to wait and going slow is gonna teach me about patience. I'll never admit that I'm totally impatient...I'm full of patience as long as I'm not idle...idle as in not doing anything. Btw, classes will start next week so I'm scheduled to be at work for the entire week. I can't believe I told my classmate-and-colleague about |
