Into The Mood
Hola, I thought I should make a post before going back to uni and post some reminders here on what I must do this upcoming semester. I won't wallow in self-pity any longer. Starting from now on, I will keep my head held high and stay positive no matter what. I made a list of MUST-DOs.1. Never skip a class.
2. Always sit in front.
3. Make sure the lecturers know you.
4. Send at least an essay every week. (for each subject preferably)
5. NEVER sleep in class. (bring coffee, stay alert!) *I'm making an excuse for myself to buy a cute thermos I saw in the bookstore the other day*
I'm aiming high this time. I must get back to being competitive. For that, I have to start doing work, be diligent. Actually, I'm feeling a lot more like my old self talking about motivation, staying positive, being competitive on a blog! I'm going to stop feeling like a flop because I'm definitely not one. What you believe you become.
Cupcake!
Journals dating back from 2008 until now.
I'm a big fan of writing personal stuff in a book. I always imagine that when I die someday, someone would discover the box of journals I keep somewhere and read all my feelings and struggles and eventually understand me. He/she may even get some lessons along the way. Ugh, I'm being a tad melodramatic here. But writing on paper has always been nice. People don't get to google those stuff. The writing only exists at one place. The exclusivity of it makes me feel safe and hopefully, it makes the person who finds it special.
I was kinda unclear what I should do to improve in debate. It has become a huge part of my life, it's impossible to detach myself from it. One year has passed, I really need to make my second year in debating awesome and start winning. Therefore, immediate post-mortem after trainings and tournaments are very much required. And catching up with matters debated is a must-do. (I always slack at this part, that's why I'm not good enough)
I think it's good to set a bar to what I wanna achieve and who I want to beat for the next 3 tournaments. Next tournament will be MDO in Melaka. I want to break at this tournament and at least be in Top 30 speakers.
That's it for now. I'm off to make maggi for lunch.
