Beginning of the school term - I used to have a life of my own!

Finally, the holidays are over, and I'm back to my study self again - only this time, with a twist.

For one, the holiday homework is never-ending, and it snowballs and gets worse as each day goes by. Looks like the pain is starting to kick in. In addition to all that, the tests are coming up next week, even as I write this now.

That aside, looks like I'm starting another caffeine-drinking year again. "Uncle, iced coffee, no sweet syrup!" And yeah, that's among the things I consume in school all the time, without fail. Sugar inside that coffee is good, but it defeats the purpose of coffee - it's supposed to keep you awake, not bring you to a sugar rush and make you sleep again!

As for adapting myself to yet another hectic school year again, maybe I should count myself lucky, having quite nice people for classmates this year. Maybe this year, I should appreciate my class more than what I did for my previous class. That being said, I do miss people like Joey and Mus, since they downgraded their H2 into H1 Economics and got into a different class. Well, to each his own, if it leads to their personal goals...

And speaking of goals, our new Economics tutor was fantastic. At least it's no longer a drag to discuss Economics questions during tutorial, since everyone has at least some background information off-hand to put into essay discussions. A far cry from what was class 1S02 last year...

Homework is piling up, and I've managed to revive most of the "dead skills of studying". Let's just say that everyone has to work hard from now on, myself included. Still, sometimes I don't have that discipline to stay on task and eventually I drift off from work to play. It's tough, but almost every bit of time is squeezed tight from the start of the year.

Sometimes, you've just gotta give yourself some space and time to reflect upon things, like that valuable time during Lao Cai last year. It's never gonna come back again, and trying to get this kind of time is tough because the work sometimes keeps a stranglehold onto your work.

But anyways, I shall try.

My quote for the month:

"If you're gonna achieve something, keep it simple and just do it."

Yeah, random shit. hope it'll make sense at some critical point in time...
