A little reminder

Remember in the previous post I mentioned something about a spastic SPA? Well, it turns out that I didn't do as badly as I had imagined.

Well, today was the last day of Term 1 of my JC life. How quickly time has flown and how much time I have wasted.

I was keen to work hard, motivated by the makeup of my current class. Keeping that up for a few weeks seemed manageable at first, until I succumbed to temptations of relaxation and basically slacking.

I have back-slided. I have not completed or fulfilled any of the goals I had set out for myself, academic or not. I have failed thus far.

It is fitting that this post serves as a reminder to me as I type it out that the final goal of my academic life in RI(JC) is not as far as I might like to believe. I said so myself during Econs class today.

This is a reminder to me to stop slacking and start working. They say that life is not just about academics, but I beg to differ now. I am a student, a occupation that can be found on many of the internet drop-down lists during registrations. It is a duty, a burden but burdens only make one stronger.

I am in no way on par with anyone in my class. I can be considered one of the weakest relatively and thus am in no position to procrastinate, slack or waste my time away.

I need to start working harder, smarter, faster. I need to stop whatever I am doing wrong and start doing things the right way. I need to stop failing in my self-discipline, stop failing to control my urges to watch videos or surf websites online.

I have a potential to fulfil. I cannot let the people who have expectations in me down. I cannot fail my own self-pride.

I cannot fail myself anymore.

This may perhaps be one of the last posts on this blog for a long, long time. Should there be an update in the near future, it will be one of necessity, or I may have changed my mind and decided that time is not wasted here... let's see how it goes.

Until next time, this blog and blogger bids adieu to the blogosphere.
