~Second Year, 2014 (Part 1)~
Friday, October 3, 2014
It's scary how time flies.
And this whole process of growing up is difficult to catch up.
Greetings, earthlings!
Yesh, I am back blogging.
I have so much to write but I just can't find the right time or mood to write them down D=
I finally have the time and mood to write this post. heh heh XD
So, today I am gonna blog about my journey as a second year Chemical Engineering student~
To be honest, I cannot believe I actually completed my second year already.
Those two semesters went by like bullet train D=
I would say that 2nd year is really tough.
I had so much difficulties to get through it. and I would like to thank God for guiding me along this path.
I had so many stressful moments.
And there were also moments where by I was so tired, hopeless and out of spirits and motivation.
Too many things to understand and catch up, too little time.
I was always caught up with assignments, quizzes, tests, events.
And 2nd year 1st semester was the worst semester ever.
UTP decided to remove midsem break during that semester.
Hence, course plannings for all subjects went hay-wired.
Most of my tests were pushed back to near finals. And, we hardly had time to prepare for finals D=
I struggled so much before finals and was so sleep deprived.
Tea was my best companion that time. Yea, tea keeps me awake ;D
2nd year 2nd semester wasn't that bad. I felt at least prepared. not 100% though. But, at least, I felt better and calmer in sitting for finals.
Everything was well planned for this semester and I was really thankful for that. At least I could keep track of the subjects and had adequate time to cover the syllabus before finals. Although the subjects were killers.
and some lecturers were... well... "unique" hahaha XD
Okays. So now, I am gonna go through some events that happened during my second year in UTP in chronological order . In terms of months =D and through pictures. Let pictures do the talking. Too lazy to type them out =P
Let me take you on a ride through this bittersweet journey. =)
I am gonna split it to two parts. Here's the first part. Which is the first half of 2nd year =D

I gotta say that this month is the most difficult moment of my life ever. Finals was one thing I had to go through as I was so sleep deprived and stressed out. But things got very rocky after finals. I spent most of the days in this month crying to sleep. Yea. I had so much to go through. I had too much to handle and juggle. Too much information to absorb and accept. I could not even sleep well despite the desperate need to sleep. I was mentally and physically exhausted. To be honest, I could not even concentrate in my studies because my mind was elsewhere. I would say that this month is probably the worst and saddest moment of my life. Prayers were my silent remedies and treatments. Hopes were my only motivation. So yea, I am still fighting it till today. And I am trying to be strong too and put it behind my head. And it seems like the wound is slowly healing.
Hurm. I guess that's all for now.
Stay tuned for the second part! =D
Gotta sleep now XD
Bye!!
