back to reality

time flies, in a blink of an eye 1 week of break is gone
I can hardly remember how I actually spent my holidays
basically I guess I was in major procrastination and now I am feeling remorseful

no time to regret now
I have to start on another pile of assignments
psychology which is literally making people go psycho with the amount of assignments
imagine just to get a 2.5%, u need to do so much of research and writing a number of essays
with a boring lecturer and a tutor who is a total jerk makes life even harder in psychology

then comes international studies
a subject of my own choice but eventually turning into a disaster cos I am lousy debater
debating on issues which are totally strangers to me
like cold war, Korean war, post world war 2 and etc.
struggling to beat the boredom of world history
and imagining it as a good storybook

next is film studies
an interesting subject nonetheless very abstract and technical at the same time
no doubt we get to watch free movies without the need to pay for a ticket
but comprehending the facets of a film and the values in it is somehow really complicating


recently, I got back the assignments I submitted before the break
it seems like scoring well in an assignment is no longer a simple task
a distinction requires a lot of effort, time and most importantly it has to be original
for my 1st assignment, I got a credit
though not very contented but it's a stepping stone to a better one in future
and according to peers in uni, a credit for 1st assignments are considered good
how far is it true I do not know
this is when we always tell ourselves to learn from our mistakes
a form of self comforting and self motivation I presume

gotta run back to my assignments now
reading on how to achieve happiness - positive psychology
interesting huh?
