A whole new beginning

My special semester at NUS has finally come to an end. Though I've had to face exams, assignments and sometimes mundane lectures, I'm still pretty grateful for the experience. It has allowed me to clear my modules in a more relaxed manner. I'm really grateful to my parents. When it wasn't confirmed whether MOE would reimburse my special term fees, my father told me "Its alright, even if MOE won't pay for it, if you want to do it just go ahead. We'll pay". Though I never once told him how grateful I was for this, I really am. Three modules is a whopping $1800++ and they definitely have no obligation to pay for my education. Though I know they weren't exactly thrilled when I got a B+ and A- for my first two modules, they just nagged a while and let it go. I know they just want the best for me.

Week zero is pretty much a rest week for me because I did not register for the orientation. So in a week's time I'm going to start my lectures proper (provided I get all my modules). I know the future is trying and since Mathematics isn't really the subject I like, the modules are going to be taxing. As a human I will have the tendency to slack and procrastinate but I hope by writing this here, if I ever read my own post again, I can be reminded to work harder. For myself and for my parents who love me.
