Wanted to take things slow this semester but it seems like it is not possible.

People around me have been telling me that they will put in more effort. For this semester, it seems that I have taken a different perspective on studies. Nevertheless, it is nice to see so many of my jc and secondary schoolmates around this semester. It just reminds me of how much energy and zest each of us possess when we first entered NUS. I guess one of the highlights is to see Nat around since we have been quite close during secondary. (Choy, if you are reading this entry, you are invited to have lunch with us most probably next week to catch up, so make yourself free ya!)

It is good to be back again.

This semester just feels different and I can’t explain why. I just feel like going with the flow, regardless of whether it is good or bad. Like what Weixin has said, she feels frighten this semester but she has no idea where the fear came from. Maybe I am feeling the same way as she is right now.

Recently, I found that I have become quite intolerant towards my tutees. I guess apart from the stress from school, I am still heavily responsible for my students who will be taking PSLE this year. I hate it when I have to scold my cousin harshly when he refuses to do his work or give me a patronizing piece of work. I hate scolding students. I know how detrimental this is to their egos and how it feels to be scolded. I hate it when I lose my patience. L

Let’s hope things will be better this week.
