a change?
Tuesday is still my most tiring day. I start lessons at 8.30 a.m and ends at 8.30 p.m. Well, that effectively means I am awake for more than 12 hours in school. To top it off, I had to eat dinner alone tonight. Haha. Nice start to my week.
My paper starts on 13th November, and that roughly sums up the number of days I have left to exams. Haha. It's a terrifying thought, considering the lectures haven't ended and will probably last till next week. That doesn't provide me with much time to study at my pace, I guess. Well, adaptability is probably the key.
If I present to you a glass of water filled to the halfway mark, will you consider it to be half-empty, or half-filled? It's a matter of perception, I will want to think of it as half-empty. At least, it isn't empty completely.
I hope I am turning optimistic already.
I went through a lecture on Social Psychology today. I read the wrong chapter beforehand, which got me a little disappointed, but I guess nothing is lost anyway. We discussed concepts like Social conformity and compliance, and how one's attitude and behavior is affected due to those concepts. It's amazing how one obeys orders from authority to such a large extent, even to the point where it undermines one's own principles. Peer pressure, obedience towards authority and acceding towards demands are just a few ways that manipulate our attitude towards certain issue. How willing are you in succumbing to these faltering factors? In retrospect, we may not even realise that we are under such social influence, and hence, portray behaviors that don't reflect our true mindset. I guess it's time to stop hiding in the shadows of others.
It's time to excise your identity. Isn't that what we have been in search of since our adolescent days?
Relieved.
