Start of a New Semester

It was the start of a new semester, on the 11th of August.

One thing for sure, I was rather excited, unlike the last 2 semesters.
I was able to wake up really early on that day, without the need of alarm. When such action happens, it usually means 'ready to tackle'!

Think about it; if someone, like me previously, whom always think about running away from lectures, friends, relations and exams but is forced to be, would really wear him/her out. Once worn, the 'readiness' is then diminished and all the negativity and unwillingness kicks in.

The modules I am taking this semester are:
CS2100 COMPUTER ORGANIZATION
CS2105 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER NETWORKS
MA1521 CALCULUS FOR COMPUTING
ES1102 ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES
GE2228 WEATHER AND CLIMATE

Out of the 5, I think my worse worries will be MA1521.
CS2100 and CS2105 is much of a build up from what I learnt in my previous level of education so hopefully the amount of worry will be less.

As for ES1102, I have been carving out a script in my head and actually typed it down for what I want to say during the first 'Ice-breaking' session in which each student has to self-introduce for 5 minutes.

Self-introduce for 5 minutes; that's gonna be my first time doing so. Every time I think about the script in my head, it makes me really nervous. And I am known to get anxious easily.

The first week has passed, so far so good actually.

All these excitements, I am unsure if its due to myself reading articles about mindfulness or is it the supplements I take or is it the smile I try to wear everyday when I woke up or maybe it's the disconnection from Facebook which actually helped. So many factors and Biochemistry is really just too complicated.

Such methods are really to bring myself back to the days I was in my Polytechnic years, active and willing. The amount of fear which National Service has put in me literally threw me off the edge. For 2 years, those fear has been piling up mentally, equating to unmeasurable amount.

Nevertheless, I wish myself all the best in positivity and mindfulness thinking. With more consciousness as I age, self-help is really necessary.
