Diary 8

Just last week, I remembered that I've been a part of pretty much all types of social media which led me to this blog. It's been exactly 1 year since my last post on here and it's been quite a drastic change within that year.

Since then I have been enrolled back in school into a program that I feel is right for me, a career that I know I can be good at, a right fit. It happened so fast, I applied mid last year and I didn't think that I would be accepted because I applied so late and 90% of the class had already been filled. I had plans to travel if I didn't get in, but I did. I resigned my jobs and started a new journey. In a blink of an eye, a really hard-working blink, I'm in the midst of 2nd term. This is one of the hardest and challenging things I've ever done in my life but I once I graduate, I will be able to say, it was my biggest accomplishment. Sometimes, I think how fast it all happened and how I was thrown back into school and get into the groove of things again.

My program only has 25 people that is accepted each year based on thousands of applications, not that I was astonished that I got in, but I really thought I was too late in applying. That one phone call changed he course of my path. My class reminds me of my high school experience again, taking each class with my same set of classmates, we really end up getting to know each other well. This time around, all of our classes are intertwined with each other, I had prepared myself that I had to take 7 classes. Luckily, one of my past friends from post secondary also got accepted into the same school but in a different program, but we had all of our classes together as 1st term was standard classes. I felt a little bit more at ease knowing that we would be going through this experience together again and could motivate each other. This time we had a lot of group projects and presentations. I dread public speaking because I get really nervous and anxious and I knew that one of our classes, we had to present a 4 minute presentation. That was another accomplishment for me, getting up in front of the class in formal attire and talking. I was so glad it was over and I felt really good knowing that I did it! I also got a really good mark too!

Final week was another challenging aspect, having 5 finals everyday was insane but it was another accomplishment. Aside from that, having 2 weekly quizzes and weekly homework to be completed every week was also hard work.

Winter break was so nice although it went by pretty fast and now, I'm back into the swing of things, head first, with 3 weekly quizzes. But now knowing what it's like and what to expect, I'm a little bit more calm, until midterms, which I have my first one this Friday :(

The one thing that makes me feel good is knowing that only our class knows what it's like and we are in it all together. I'm not just alone, everyone else can relate to me and we will complain together, through the bad and the good!
