A beginning and an end.
Well, it's about a week until I'm due to go back to school, for the spring semester. I haven't even received a timetable for the second semester, though. It's kind of scary, because the Dean of Studies actually had to go on leave just before the first semester ended. Apparently she had some sort of mental breakdown. It comes as little surprise though; she definitely seemed to be on edge for several weeks. I hope that she recovers soon (and that she returns to her old job), because the new Dean of Studies really isn't suited for the job, in my humble opinion. He's only been at the school for a very short period of time and he's thrown a few things into disarray (like making sudden major changes to our schedules, with very little notice).
Although I am looking forward to my second semester, I feel a little apprehensive about this course at the moment. And I've been thinking about changing course/school. It's a big decision to make, but I am increasingly getting the sense that my current selection just isn't getting me where I feel I should be.
I don't know. One of the things I dislike most is uncertainty, at least as far as my own feelings go. Right now I have absolutely no idea what I want to do if I go elsewhere -- and I don't even know where I'd go or what I'd do. But I do feel slightly uneasy/unsatisfied with what I'm doing now. And I don't like that thought nagging at the back of my mind.
Anyway, it's not the end of the world. I'll probably reach a decision about it at some point.
On an unrelated note, I am finally starting back at my local gym this week. That'll be great. I had avoided it for a few months, because I really felt like I didn't want to pile something else on top of my already-bloated schedule. But I think the time has come to go that extra mile. I feel bad for not going for so long, considering that regular exercise was always a part of my own routine. It will be great to get back into it.
The added benefit is that my sister is planning to join me. She's never been to a gym at all, but she seems very keen to give it a try. And the support of having someone there with you always helps. Even my mum is considering it (she used to go to a training circuit, but she hasn't been in several years). So that'd be great. Accomplishing something together is always better than doing it yourself. ~_^
I am also hoping that in amongst all this, I can actually start working on my new site. This new thing with N-Sider has kind of brought that into question to some degree. But really, no matter what I do, new projects and demands will always be coming up. I think I just have to make time for myself for a change. Not to say that I would turn down work for others -- especially something as significant as a redesign -- but in this regard, I am always putting others first. I feel that I need to make some time to work on my own web project (well, something in addition to OtakuBoards).
I hope that I can talk about the details of this new site at some point soon.
