Hmm. Just comfort as I slouch in my couch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. People are already moving in into the place and I'm still here, slothing my way through (note to self: not the way to maneuver through this new sem pls).
Last sem has been life-changing, given me a taste of how the next few years can be, and how all's just within this grasp to get stuff done. Enriching yes, and an eye-opener, given the many experiences I've had/ heard of. While I wouldnt say its pleasant, it's definite a huge liberation from JC. I hated JC - the school, the nature of the environment, people, and how I felt entrapped in this system, yet I wouldnt exactly say i hate it entirely. I did, through rough times, realize how lucky I was to have these gems in life that I can fall back on (well most of the time it's me whining to them, yes, I am whiny). And though I never felt this particular strong attachment to the class, perhaps the inherent dynamic and personalities there, I do say I did enjoy all the fun stuff that we did together, be it planned or spontaneous. JC was probably a bad shelter, shelter nonetheless.
Entering this sem really got me stepping out of my comfort zone. Trying out new things, taking on a new attitude towards learning, and just challenging myself with stuff that I've never done so. I mean, I've got to really do things that I've never thought of, or bothered to, such as designing posters! How fun is that??
And yup being in a new environment, though I still would prefer comfort. Comfort never truly exists does it? It's more of familiarity, which might not necessarily mean comfort. Predictability, routine, yes, but you'll never know what you can be unless you try it out. And heyy I just got back from my fas writing class, not as bad as I thought it would be! the prof seems like one cool dude, hopefully a fun module, and one i can score.
Anws here's a toast to a sem's worth of writing, reading (yes, loads of readings, read and grasp them fast and sharply) and learning about the world, expanding my horizons in every way (that's one of the reaons why I join usp I guess), and just basically being a more grounded secure individual too. Yaz yaz.
Cheers,
Vivienne
