A new season at NIE and there's quite abit of adjustments I must say. I came in without knowing anyone in my PE course and also I have yet to know anyone in my hall! Haha...wow it feels as though I'm studying overseas. Having to start afresh is not exactly an easy thing...its like being Pri 1 all over again, except I'm more able to take the initiative to make new friends.
Sometimes, there's this feeling of being lost and not knowing who to turn to in the midst of so many strangers but I'm glad that in the last 2 weeks, I'm getting to know more people and things are slowly picking up. Well, its really strange to be in a class where there r only 3 gals and the rest r guys. Yah...people says I have a lot of choices but pls...most are taken! So sad right...:(
Haha..but anyway, I'm enjoying the journey. Learning to slowly get used to the pace of things in NIE and also balancing the 'play hard and work hard' mantra! Its easy to get lost in the 'slack' mode, that is so prevalent in the PE school! Well not all are lacklustre abt their studies but we just play and play that sometimes we just can don't bother about our work or readings, which is not a good thing. How to be exemplary teachers if we are not exemplary students?
Another 'yeah' moment is my room mate finally appeared! I don't have to sleep in pitch darkness alone anymore! Haha...quite scary leh...but thank God, I was able to sleep soundly the last few nights. The first night, however, was bad. Toss and turn and practically didn't sleep the whole night and had a terrible splitting headache the next day. What a pity coz I was watching 'The Mummy' with a continuous throbbing in my head!
Yuppers...the 1st 2 weeks considerably rough but I guess once I'm more settled down, things will slowly fall into place. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going and in the process, one gets tougher than before!
