A Different Perspective
First of all, a big thanks to those who have shown concern about the condition of my eyes. Apparently, the first check up showed that my eye sight is still good, and the optometrist kinda suggested that it may be a problem due to just tiredness or glare. So I decided to wait a few more days as I didn't think it was worth spending so much just to make a pair of glasses to prevent glare. After a couple of days, and lots of rest over the weekend, things were initially better but I soon realised it was not much of a difference, so I went to seek a second opinion. This optometrist gave a more thorough check up, and I felt more assured as again my eye sight proved to be ok. But what he said next kinda scared me. He said apparently after the check up, it goes to show no lenses or anything they have at the shop can help me, and I should seek to consult someone of a higher 'level', like the doctor to see how he can help. *Gulp* Oh well, eventhough I know I shouldn't really delay this, but may be I shall just wait for the one week break to see what I will do about it.
Well, you know I am glad I am someone who study social sciences, as it is always interesting how everything in life can be linked, and how there can be a reason for every behaviour and action. You can infer this from that, and that from this, and it goes on and on. Reason why I brought this up? Because I am going to draw a link to two very different things in my life; my frequency of blogging, and studies.
If you guys noticed, my frequency of blogging has decreased, and I am going to link it to the reason that I am not so stressed up about studying this semester. By now many should know, most of my blog entries last semester were all about being stressed up and studies. But this semester, I seem to have taken a step back from studies, and that explains for the decrease in 'stressed up' entries. I am enjoying more of my lessons now, as all 3219, 3217 and 2102 are teaching me essential skills which I see myself needing in my ideal job to be. As such, I am seeing it more as a 'learning experience' rather than a 'I really need to score well' thingy. Last friday, I got back my first assignment, and I myself was quite surprised at how I wasn't all that anxious about getting back my grades, as how I would usually be. I seemed to allow nature to take its course for once, and accept whatever was to come my way. Thank goodness I did well though.
Also, 3217 requires me to work with an organization to create a website, and I have chosen BizLink, an organization which helps to allocate and find jobs for the disabled. As much as I want to do well in the assignment for this module, something else in me made me volunteer to create and maintain the website for BizLink on a long term basis. And I'm glad they have agreed to speak to me, as I have seen the disabled people at BizLink, and I have seen how they could do with whatever help one can offer.
To sum it up, I am approaching studies from an all new perspective this semester. Maybe it should have been like that right from the start, but sadly it wasn't. How long this new perspective will stay I really do not know, but I hope it is for a long. I have had enough of all the worries, and all the stress. No doubt when cruch time comes, I will still feel the heat from all those assignments and exams, but well, maybe not as much as before.
