I've finally officially began the 2nd semester of my 2nd year here in the University. I've made it through the day just fine mainly because we've only covered the orientation so far. The real challenge starts next week. I suppose this first week could be called the 'adjustment' week so that we could shift our mental focus away from the thought of the past vacation and start taking things seriously again.
As with the previous semester, my entire semester is and will be dominated by Computer Science subjects, only this time the difficulty level is set up a bar higher. One of my friends and block-mate since the first semester of our first year is my classmate in all my subjects except English 2.
Even if lessons haven't began yet, I can already feel the pressure of this semester. I'm afraid that I won't be able to follow up with my running exercises that I started last semester. I also have 1000 paper cranes to finish, right now I'm only at 236 cranes with 48 days to go.
During Tuesdays, my last subject is CMSC 22 lecture, CMSC 22 is about Object Oriented Programming which, as for the moment, I have no clear idea just yet. The lecturer is really interesting and eccentric. He's very unlike most of my previous instructors in my the CMSC courses that I've taken up. While I enjoy cheerful and "buddy-buddy" professors, I get the feeling that I'll also enjoy my CMSC 22 (well, I do hope so) under his wing. He might not care about an anonymous like me, but I'm expecting an interesting CMSC 22.
One of the quotes that he gave as he introduced the course was (non-verbatim) "You're too proud of being the person you're not" - he said that on the topic of carrying too much pride as a student of the University. He said that students of our generation tend to take too much pride on the name of the university while we are not of any great importance to the university.
But even if I said interesting, a lot of hardships in this course is looming just around the corner. It's best to be prepared, even if I don't have the right blade for the right hilt.
