#6: The End of JAS (Just Another Semester)

Time flies. JAS passed away.

Looking back at my blog posts, I feel a great sense of achievement.

An achievement, that I made it through JAS.
An achievement, that I started blogging and writing.
An achievement, that I have grown through this short span of time.

Hardly had I any time to sit back, and admire the achievements I have made.

Communication.

It has always been my dream to write. To communicate my feelings through words and stories. To share with everyone my imagination, and the world that lives within me.

Most importantly, I learnt to think before I write. Previous attempts were futile, as ideas flowed from my mind uncensored and uncut. I'm still trying. But looking back at my blog posts, I'm glad I made improvement. My previous blog post a far cry from my virgin post.

Yes. It was the first blog post of my life.

Indirectly, it affected the way I communicated with people around me. A conscious effort would be made to think before I speak. Not to hurt my listener. At the same time, feel for the listener and be in their shoes.

Not my best, but I managed to do it.

Teamwork.

We die together.

Love the teams I were in for this JAS. Witty, fun and nice to be around with. No new topics learnt here. But many friendships made and bonds forged. Going through the next 3 years together. Enough said.

I hope I had left a similar impression on my group mates.

I feel that I could have done better in carrying out my tasks during these group assignments. Careless mistakes, punctuality issues and lame excuses plagued my group projects.

At the end of the day. Or in this case, JAS. I would have to buck up. Taking down notes and checking my work before sharing would have reduced all these problems.

I will do my best. I promise.

Overall.

Not too shabby. We survived. Scathed but smiling. Sufficient hope for us to push on with our grueling course.

Considering that there were no tutorials, and lessons were enjoyable discussions. It was definitely a break from the other energy sapping modules we were taking.

You will not be hearing the last of me. I swear.

Till then, good luck for your exams! And to my tutors, please go easy on us...
