As Fast as a Cloud of Dust
Wow. It's been awhile since I last posted something. My last post was during the last week of semester break. It's hard to imagine that one month has passed by so fast. I'm soon in my week 5 and things are getting more hectic day by day.
I guess I've been a bit more chilled this sem as compared to last sem. I even had time to learn how to play Dota 2. Haha.. it's fun when there are friends to play with. :) So I don't know why, but Taylor's made it in such a way that sem 1 focused a lot on exams while sem 2 is all assignment based.
What's even more interesting this semester is not the fact that the assignments are very design based, but rather on the choice I made to switch to Performing Arts as my elective at the last minute. I had a lot of fears and insecurities that stopped me for switching out of Illustrative Visual Narrative as my elective. I thought it was a safe choice.
I think God really helped me make the decision that day. I had a sudden spark to change and I was really excited to do so. 4 weeks down the road, I've never regretted my decision once. In fact, I felt even more grateful and blessed to be able to experience this opportunity of learning how to sing, dance, and act together with friends I may never be able to group with because of different majors.
Although practices for my PA exams (a capella exam, group contemporary dance, and solo broadway performance) take up mostly all of my free time, I could actually express more though this avenue, through this platform. I honestly feel happy being able to practice together with my group, all of whom I care about very much. I truly am blessed when I say my group members are a gift to me.
I think also, throughout the years I've been in college and university, I've been able to step out of my comfort zone more and more. Singing alone in front of a crowd doesn't scare me as much as I thought it would. I think confidence is something that takes time.
Recently, I joined the Taekwondo Club in Taylor's partly because I had friends there, and partly because I've missed martial arts so much. Also, I have a aim this semester to be fit. Ahahaaha. I hope I can reach my goal with help from PA classes and taekwondo practices.
So I decided to join the MACPU Taekwondo Competition which will be held during the 17-18th October. I really really love sparring because I get to fight with all my strength and might (and still get kicked in the ass). What's the point of learning a martial art when all you do is memorize a certain pattern just to graduate to the next belt colour?
Hopefully I'll be able to win a few matches and advance to the 3rd or 4th round before getting knocked out. I would really love to test out my skills.
