Hello, New Year / Saturday, December 31, 2011

Busy with loads of stuff today and will have no time for blog posts the next few days. It will be kinda meaningless to do up my resolutions tomorrow, so I'll post a short list here! (the entry always turns out to be longer than expected)

Academic achievement:

1. Get all As for my modules

Personal development:

1. Have more self-confidence
Look people in the eye. Speak without tripping over words. (I'm a victim of metathesis in stressful situations and I always get tongue-tied. This has to stop!) When you say something, you want others to turn their attention to you -even though it feels better the other way. I realise that sometimes when I talk in a group setting and everyone's just silently listening and not even laughing or smiling at me or nodding, a growing sense of unease gnaws at me. Again, this has to stop.

2. Handle stress more effectively
Yea save my sympathetic nervous system. I think too much and get too stressed about many trivial stuff. Like, I get stressed when my day with Koh is coming to an end ._.

3. Listen to my heart
Sometimes I ignore the alarm bells ringing in my head and proceed to commit myself to something not worth my time. Usually nothing good comes out of such forced deals. Learn to Just Say No!

4. Better time management
Set definite rules to abide by. When the school year starts, don't read a book until 5+AM even on a weekend, because that will destroy you even before the Monday blues set in. Time management is always gonna be a tricky issue -but just remember that while CAP is important, studying is not everything and the time set aside for family, close friends and interests should not be compromised.

Okay that already feels like a lot. There are other aspects of myself that I need to work on, but I feel that for next year these would be the most important attributes to pay attention to. Okay I'll seeyallz soon.
