More of the same, and some more worries?

Things have been moving for me (as they will always be) since the last time I posted here, and there are again new developments...in all forms..

Just had dinner with a group of people who are going to Harvard just like me...you can call it the next batch after mine which is officially the 'guinea pig' batch. Good thing that we sorted out a few of their problems, and they have a chance to talk about anything else other than work and books, although the situation was partly disrupted with my emphasis on training for them and we needing to get all in shape for the trip and conference. But otherwise, I thought it was a good attempt to get everyone moving. Just have to see how it goes then.

Books wise, it's getting a lot more stressful here. Having to sort out a topic for research, and then working on it so fast that I literally have no time to waste for myself really - but well, it's all about getting up to speed...so here goes then. Plus I have another 3 such assignments, and 2 projects, 2 fieldtrips and the like...so it will be a lot of runing around between home campus and the 'other side' again and again...must survive this though.

As for work wise, now the machine starts to roll...let's hope I get a favouravble response good enough to keep this going - the moral of my post: yup, it is to keep it going. So much for the bicycle theory but then again it applies - when you stop after moving so long, the inertia to move becomes so huge because more likely you do not wish to get moving again because you do not know how long this goes. I know that applies for me, so I will keep pushing - but prevent myself from collapsing at the same time.

To my special one...do not worry about me even as you look though it, because I am still doing ok. The fact that I am still typing means that I am able to keep things going between us...do relax once in a while because of your work too - you can do it! :D

One final thing - I cannot avoid this as a soccer fan, I hope for 2 things to happen:

Liverpool to finally defeat Chelsea today, and the Red Devils to thrash the hell out of Arsenal - Arsenal no more, now 'Arse' as I called them. Why? Well...you cannot ask any diehard Anfield fan like me to forget the debacle of 2007...so long live the Reds of North Britain!

More from me next post...

New things

2007...a world of new things...

First of all, I started class early, and when I told the guys that I was not from SMU in my one lesson this week, what I got was weird and rude stares in my direction. Hmm...so much for the 'welcome' that I was anticipating. Anyway, further talking and conversations with some of the new found friends that I made in my class led me to conclude that life's not as good as what I think of it to be at SMU. Or really? That itself is a very subjective question, but one which I will not think of it as I try to achieve my one aim there: study, have fun, and pass my modules there with flying colours.

Ok, as school back in campus for me formally starts next week, I have another new thing to think about first - a challenging module that I have not done at this level, more so because I am not every much familiar in the school of PS that I have been exposed and familiar with. But then again, if I don't do it, I will only be much more paralysed when I start to really tackle it 7 more times next year. So it's not all that bad, as this training will put me in good stead. It will also be the first time for me to discover if I have what it really takes to develop my thinking at a higher and a more demanding level.

That's all for now..going to prepare stuff for my crunch - yeah, crunch meeting soon enough tomorrow. Just hope that things get better.

It's now or never for me.
