A week in University

Hey guys!

I'm officially a degree student now! Yaayy! I passed calculus. I'm so glad the hardwork I put in actually paid off.

First week of university made me pretty nervous because I had to make new friends. I'm technically a shy person so making new friends is considered hard to me. I mean I'm not the type of person who would go to a stranger and say 'hello, what's your name? It's nice to meet you'. However after being advised by my boyfriend (you know who you are!), he told me that even the friendliest of people even have the fear of getting rejected. I mean who knew, right? Therefore,  I decided to take my chances and talk to some random strangers. And guess what?! It worked! I have friends now.

So for those of you who are shy and get uncomfortable talking to new people, do not fear! If you don't manage to make new friends by the first week, there is always the second and third week. Just go to a random group and say hi. Believe me the first few seconds are nerve wrecking and random thoughts will be running in your head but once they introduce themselves, all the worries that you had will just disappear. So go out there, & make some new friends guys!

So.. psychology is interesting. It's just the first week of classes & I'm already enjoying this subject. But it's gonna be hard coz most of the assignments and quizzes are a must pass, meaning that I have to pass these papers (get at least 50%) to actually pass a subject. Gah.

I've also signed up for a few clubs and also be part of the psych annual ball committe! I figured that I finally should get active into something other than reading books. I mean though I am a bookworm, sometimes I rather do something else you know? 

That's all for today!

End of Pre-University!

Hey guys,

So sorry again for the hiatus. Right now, I'm back in Johor Bahru with my family. And that means busy, busy, busy. In case you were wondering, I study in KL but I'm originally from Johor Bahru. So I usually come back here when I can to see my parents and my younger brother. 

And this marks the end of my pre-university life! Cheers to me. Heh. 

I also said in my previous post that I will tell a little something about myself. Well, I'm actually an average 19 year old girl. I love to read, watch TV series and read, in case I didn't mention that earlier. I'm about to start my degree in 2 weeks! Guess what I'm going to do? It's psychology! Yeah quite a number of close friends and relatives have been wondering, why psychology? What's so interesting about it? 

I'm quite confused as well. This is the only degree that I chose, no second choices or other options. I don't have anything to fall back on, if say, halfway I decide to change my course. Till today, I'm still lost about why I'm choosing to do this. But in my heart, it feels right. Like, when I think of the future of when I become psychologist, my heart just beats faster and I like the pleasurable feeling coursing through my veins. Probably after some self-searching and contemplating I might find my own reasons for doing something that I wasn't really that familiar with. I said was not really because I first found out about psychology from Sherlock Holmes and the Kay Scarpetta series (interesting series by the way). But of course, you can't learn everything from fictional books. They just tell you whats' interesting and exciting. After some googling, I found out what psychology is all about. However, it still was not enough to provide me with solid reasons on why I chose to do this.

I'm off to contemplate! 

Bye,

Mid exam post

Hey guys!

Yeah I know its been a week since I blogged. My sincerest apologies. I'm halfway through my finals now actually, I just sat for Statistics yesterday (Saturday) and will be sitting for Calculus this Thursday.

God, please bless me. Calculus isn't my favourite subject nor my strongest one. It is the weakest. Sigh. I'm actually retaking this paper. So if I fail (fingers crossed I don't!), I can only start my degree next year. Which will be a disappointment for me as I'm pretty excited about doing something I'm looking forward to.

Well, my week has actually been eventful. I met up with this family that I have been acquainted with since young but I've never really talked to them before. So I got invited to the son's birthday, and my family and I decided to attend. I had fun. This has to be one of the times I had fun at a birthday party of someone I barely know. Most of the other birthday parties I attend, I just follow my mum everywhere. Like literally. And just stare when she talks to people. I'm just shy that way. 

I also went to a relatives place for Raya open house. Yeah my mum's cousin married an Indonesian. Pretty cool, nah? I had amazing food and caught up with relatives.

The rest of my week (I was on a week holiday due to Hari Raya) was spent with my parents or with my baby cousin!

Then my finals started. My life.

Have an awesome week!

PS: I realised you guys know nothing about my personal life, where I study, where I stay etc etc. I will post something up soon!
