Midterm Break

It's been 6 weeks into my first semester and it's time for the mid-semester break. Honestly, I don't really need the break now as I'm not feeling really drained out. School is tiring at times, I admit, but I can still cope. I do not feel as stressed out as my friends in SMU who doesn't even seem to have time to eat lunch. From what I've heard, it's very competitive in there. In comparison, NUS is a lot better. At least I still have time to hang around and talk to friends. Sometimes, I do enjoy being in school because there's always friends to meet up with and things to be talked about. Right now, I do not know what to make of this break. Besides catching up with work, I guess I would make time out to do some things that I've always wanted to do. It's so much easier to say that life is short and we should live it to the fullest than to really practise it. There were so many times that I procrastinated over things that I've since regretted. There's always this great inertia to do things because of many uncertainties. But as experience has shown, the first step is always the hardest and more often than not, once you get past the first hurdle, you will find that the rewards are well worth the effort. The best reward is in knowing that you will have accomplished the things that you set out to do and getting a big load off your mind.
