It's easy to say that you want something or want to do something in the future. To do it is almost impossible... at least in my case, it is. *sigh*
Semester 2 will commence a month later. I have to keep reminding myself that it's not far away. It's happening. Doesn't matter if I'm ready for it or not, the second semester is coming. It was so easy to think that to make up for the laziness in Semester 1, I want to use this semester break to prepare for Semester 2. Yes. Easy. But I realise later on there's a loophole in my resolution.
I don't know where to start.
This is a very uncomfortable feeling. It's holding me back.
If you've been reading my previous posts (especially those during exam), you know I have worries for some of the courses I'd taken for Semester 1. I'm afraid if I there's need to repeat certain courses because I know I didn't do well for the exam. Then, should I start from there? Return to those courses? Re-study, review, revise? What the heck. When you reach the next semester, the previous semester is a thing of past, why should you look back?
So should I straight away start with Semester 2's courses? By studying beforehand the courses I'm taking for Semester 2, I wouldn't feel too overwhelmed when there's too much to read and write. But what if some of the courses require knowledge I should have learnt/studied from Semester 1? That's why I said I don't know where to start. There's things to think of and consider.
For now, I'm relying on my instinct and curiosity. Which topic that first come up in my mind, I'll study/learn about that first. When there's prerequisite stuff I need to know then only I'll take out the related reference books and notes again.
I think that's better than not doing anything, right?
*Baby steps, Ruth. Baby steps.*
I want to be best friends with Curiosity. I have always denied his ideas but now I don't see why I should continue doing that. He gives somewhat good, interesting ideas. I'm keen to try them now to see if they work for me. All I need are courage and discipline to execute his ideas.
