Semester 2

After the debacle that was the first half of the year (semester 1), now I have the chance to start afresh again. Semester 2. After almost a month of much needed rest, without (much) worries of academic studies, I get thrust back into the unforgiving world of...academic studies.

I promised myself that a leaner, smarter, and happier Jeric will emerge from semester 2. That's right, I want to lose weight, improve on my academic results, and have a sense of fulfillment. And it started off pretty well today, as it is 1st day of semester 2. I tried my best to pay attention in classes today, and may I say that I succeeded. Although once or twice, (okay maybe a couple of times) I drifted into dreamland. But hey! At least I tried. Then I came home, promising myself that I would have a jog around the neighbourhood. And I did! But 5 minutes in, as luck would have it, I stepped on some pine cones on the slightly wet pavement, and my notoriously weak left ankle gave way. So much for exercise for the next few days. In the meantime, I still happily gobble down food like there's no tomorrow. I say there's a fat chance of me burning off my excess fats now (no pun intended). But at the same time, I will not let this setback set me back (haha?). I must have a positive attitude at all times, and that's the 1st step to having a sense of fulfillment, and to borrow from Kung Fu Panda, a sense of inner peace. Or at least I think so.

On a more serious note, I am hoping to post my next short story on my blog within the next two weeks. This will be my second short story since the first one (like duh!), and the genre will not be the same as 'The Letter'. And I did sprained my ankle too.
