Grr. That’s it. I have had enough of those words in italics. Time to get into place.
Je m’appelle Xanthe. J’ai 19 ans. Je suis Singapourienne. Edison Chen, mon mari. 
Netball for IS module is no joke. First session and I died-ed. Today was the first time in a long time that I could actually squeeze water out from my shirt. I cannot imagine myself survive another week, much less twelve.
I had a five hour break before NPA games session and French class commenced so I met Chloe in town right after I was dismissed.
NPA games session was not the literal games which I was expecting. It turned out to be something else which assessed your confidence, ability to work in a team as well as public speaking skills (or something along those lines). There is an interview this Thursday and I hope they can help me be myself.
French was extremely confusing and tedious especially when 95% of the class was conducted in French. To aggravate matters, I came late and was not sitting close to any familiar faces. This stifled my learning even more. I got a little frustrated and the teacher kind of chided me a little for not clarifying my doubts earlier. I am abash to admit that I felt horrendously lousy then.
Before I go on any further, I have to emphasize that friends whom can identify with what you are struggling with is what makes the most impact and difference. I thank God for them.
I have decided that I will not make myself a slave to my studies (anymore). I do not want to study for the sake of acing, or for the sake of entering my dream Uni or even profession. I am going to let my learning be what I enjoy. As long as I do my best and enjoy the process of it, whatever that comes, I will just take it as it is!
Picture the gratification of being able to tug yourself at the favourite corner of your couch after one full day of massive slogging – I am embracing that very pleasure right at this moment.
This week, I saw the apprehensive yet apathetic side of myself when I did not do what I needed to (as mentioned in Joshua 7:19). In spite of this histrionic drama, I am pleased to mention that I am really happy! I reckon it is the grace received, translated to joy, that overflows from within.
Therefore, no sleep work tonight! I’ve promised myself and God that tonight will be a night fully devoted to Him – nothing else. What could be more important than drawing strength from the source when fatigue sets in?
My first piece of tutorial, done! I like that tinge of excitement and fulfillment of being able to check the box on my to-do list.
It looks retarded, I know.
