Ah.. friday night homework...
Feb. 13th, 2009 09:40 pmWow... It's the first time I think I've found doing statistics homework on Friday night relaxing. I used to dread statistics, but now it seems really simple. I actually have to get these assignments out of the way so I can focus on working on my speech this coming Sunday night. It's funny when I think about it. I used to be a big procrastinator, and I would put things off till the last minute. It really surprises me that I'm like this now. If only I had been like this at the start of college!
On Thursday this week, I had to lead a class discussion. It was a lot more fun than I thought. All I had to do was ask questions, and people responded and discussed about it. I would nod at them, and would respond with a follow-up question. It's kinda like what I do when I listen to a friend. I've been doing a lot of public speaking lately... and that also surprises me. In elementary school, I was the shy kid who would rather take the failing grade than talk in the front of the class. Now I can actually stand in front of the classroom and stuff like leading class discussions.
School has been keeping me really busy that I actually have to plan things way ahead of time. I need to make time for rest, for study, for play, for eating, and everything in between. Sheesh. I miss my carefree days. Honestly though.. even now it seems like my days are still carefree. Sure, there are a lot of responsibilities and tons of stress/pressure. I know, that would mean my days aren't that carefree at all, right? However, it only SEEMS carefree because.. well... I'm still able to handle it all.
Like I said before, I'm just really surprised at how I'm handling things. What happened to the old me, who would just give up when things became too hard?
It's unfortunate I might be the only one who sees this change in me. I'm still the same to my friends and family. To everyone who knew me before, I'm still that shy, quiet boy. That's fine, I think. As long as I can believe in myself.... it's fine.
Ok ok, maybe I can do one more homework problem...
