I have been pretty low on energy for the past few weeks. I couldn't find the motivation nor the drive that I had in semester 1. I dreads the pieces of assignments because I just couldn't see the rationale behind many of them. Maybe that statement wasn't really fair. I think I do see the rationale behind some of them, but I do not feel that it is going to impact on my job in a few weeks time! We have had enough of theories and what we really need to be equipped with now should be the skills to tackle realistic problems.

Many assignments required us to write essays, but we never get them back nor receive any comments. We do not get any feedback and how is that learning? Will my piece of work ever gonna change the world? No. Will it ever gonna change me? I do not know. Probably not. So why the hell am I doing these work? I do not know. Oh well, I think I do know. I have to pass, otherwise a hefty bill will be sent to my home.

Its 2 more weeks to the battlefield but I do not feel prepared. I feel excited, I feel apprehensive. I feel like jumping into it right now because that is what I am here for, but some part of me is hoping that the day would not come. Its all kind of jumbled up right now. Well, I will soon have to face reality and I really do hope that my (used to be) positive attitude will tide me through. Afterall, it would be a new environment and that should breathe some life into me. Judgment day has arrived after 7 years... Onwards with Positive attitude, Passion and Perseverance. Please give me the strength...
