悠遊太平洋西南嶼

This morning when I woke up, it was nearly 10:00!!! "I really overslept!" was the first sentence that came into my mind. Perhaps...it was also the first time that I was late to class due to oversleeping since I started to go to school at the age of 7. After all, I had my mothter or my roommates to wake me up before when I was in Taipei. But now, I only have myself, depending on the cellphone alarm.....

The winter term is really intensive and tiring....which makes me hardly breathe. Now, one day is like one week. We have to finish the reading in less than one day which we used to have a whole week to finish. So, a typical day is like this: get up, go to class, lunch, take a nap, study, dinner, study, sleep, then get up....

Don't know if I have put too much pressure on myself. I am really nervous every day now. I am worried about not finishing the reading, not understanding the lecture, not speakig in class (I only spoke once in class so far), and of course, the in-class exam. It's like I never expect a new day to come, because a new day means new reading materials, new lecture, new things to learn, all of which are compressed in one day, ie, 24 hours. Really....it's tiring and exhausting.

Now I never go to bed before 3am. It's unhealthy and unbearable if you consider it from a long-term perspective. But....I have no alternatives. Probably, if I start to study earlier, I can finish earlier (hopefully) and go to bed earlier. However, I really don't want to start studying right after the morning class and the lunch. I need some time to rest and let the brain calm down...

Sigh...actually, I have less time day dreaming....not to mention writing my blog. Hope the winter term to finish as soon as possible. But when the winter term ends, the exam follows. I HATE EXAM, ESPECIALLY AN IN-CLASS ONE!!!!!!

Tiring never ends...
