Haven eaten any real food for the past 2 days, so all I can say is.. I am very very hungry.. Yes, I have lost almost 2 kgs in a week... All I can think about now I big, juicy burgers from Carl's Jr..
Anyway, been enjoying school so far.. In fact, I think I enjoyed it too much. I seemed to always be so hyper and on about everything, everyone else thinks I'm crazy. But hey, everyone DO think I AM crazy! Haha!
Yesterday my lecturer says as we grow older, our creativity gets lesser. Well, for me it was the other way around. The older I grow, the more child like I get. I dont really know why, but this is not being naive or childish, but what the bible says about humbling yourselves as like little children, I guess that explains pretty much what I want to say.
It saddens me when I realised that, in fact, some people might be forced to come to study instead of really being passionate. Seriously.... These children are precious in God's eyes, if you are not willing to give your all for them, please leave Early Childhood teaching..
Another problem I faced was monetary. I cannot believed how many times I have top up my ez link card, and how much I already spent photocopying all my research.. The amount I saved for my school fees was almost used up. Thank God for being Sovereign and always providing. The Government will be giving our shares or whatever you might call it, and that would arrives just in time. As a matter of fact, the reason why I didn't go see a doctor is because I don't have the money. Heh, I doubt anyone will notice that till they read this blog. Please don't worry if you are reading this, I'm ok!
Anyway, I gotta go now. Need to head down to the Library to book the project room for my group meeting tomorrow after church, pray all will go well!

Feeling wee bit discouraged....
As much as I was feeling very excited about school, I was beginning to feel discouraged as well.
For the longest time ever, Friday was the only time I felt so helpless. My English Module lecturer gave us 2 practice papers, 10 questions each, one testing us on "Active/ Passive sentences" and the other, "Direct/ Indirect speech".
Basically, what needs to be done, is that I need to change the active sentences to passive, and direct speech to indirect. For the first, I only got 5 correct, and the latter, 4... I made a lot of careless mistakes like, "Newcomers is being...". Sigh..
So I told myself, I would get up early and proceed to the school's library, and go to Popular to get assessment books. Well, I must have been so tired that I slept till 1 in the afternoon. I went to the Jurong Regional Library and did my research there, before heading down to Popular to get my grammer books.
After visiting my friend at her grandma's wake, I went back to the library to do more research. Seriously, I never would have expected myself to spend twenty dollars on photocopying in a single day. Anyway, when the library closed at 9, I went to church to read up what I found.
After reading some, I gave up and started trying the assessment books I bought. There was one I bought, similar to the practise papers that my lecturer gave, but this time, the focus was on "which" and "that". Guess what? I only got 5, out of 10, correct. I felt really discouraged this time round. That set of assessment papers are for upper Primary, need I say more?
Somehow, I begun feeling more intimidated by the language, each time I spoke, I seemed to be making more mistakes. At the same time, I felt my dyslexia acting up.
Friends had been telling me not to stress myself. Honestly, I will try, but it will take some time..
Sis Charissa reminded me God is the God of all languages, He will know what is best for me, and I know He is also bigger than any problems I will encounter..
