Reflection

This week saw the expected allocations and due dates of assignments. And as usual, us students grunted heavily. Our seniors have forewarned us about the heavy workload and sleepless nights ahead. It's been two months since I ventured into this course and already I had one nearly sleepless nights. I've gotta shed the procrastinator in me

So far, I find the Design Communications and English classes to be the difficult ones. Design Communications involve technical drawings which i've got no experiance in. But so far, i'm coping. A lot of measurements and simple geometry. The English class is more advanced where i'm required to do 2000 word research papers and analysing texts regarding architecture. Earlier this week, I had to do an impromptu speech and I was given the title "Someone I look up to..." I chose my sister. Although, I must say, it's been a while since giving a speech and worse, to give one to a group of strangers was numbing. But thank heavens I didn't choke up. I hope I did alright

With so many assignments and projects, I do feel tired at times. Sometimes during class. Sometimes in the hostel. That's when my laziness strikes and I feel like sleeping the hours one by one away

-I can see that some of my friends are tired too. College life ain't no piece of cake.

Our seniors usually advise us to stay on top of our game. To maintain our GPA and stuff like that. It's inspiring to see how far they've gone and yet, intimidating. I truly wonder how far am I gonna go in this course. I hope i'll be able to achieve something for myself.
