Brand new year. 2008. Finally, the past year is now gone, good riddance. Too much sorrow, too much pain, it's best to let it all fade.
The winter term has started. This will be a much more hectic term, as it is in a way, the final "full" term for me (spring and summer are half terms), so I want to seize the opportunity to take as many courses offered as I realistically can handle.
Being realistic. This is a lesson I am learning everyday. I don't know, I always believe one needs to have dreams, as a form of hope, a source of motivation, a way of believing that "impossible is nothing". But very often, reality bites. Sometimes, it is just a prick on the finger, sometimes it feels like a huge gash is being made in the leg. At the most extreme, it is a chest pain that hits at the most unexpected moment.
But it's a brand new year, and I want to feel all refreshed and recharged, ready to face challenges. I am thankful that I fared pretty well the previous semester, hopefully I can continue with the fine showing, so that I won't disappoint those back home who have been so supportive and encouraging.
It's going to be a tough year, but the road ahead looks pretty inviting!
