Reaching the Limit

Humans have limits, whether it be physical, mental, intellectual or emotional limits. In SMU, the boundaries of these limits are being pushed to the max and beyond. Students start whining about morning lessons, not enough sleep, over-dependance on coffee and so on. The "pressure cooker" of university life is a real test site for the human body. And I think i'll soon become a failure of that test.

As of today.. I'm starting to think that I got more than I bargained for this sem. Too many committments, too many thing to think of. The result is a concoction of events that just whittles away at my resolve to keep on the race. Indeed.. I'm not tough at all.

Of course, this post is probably nothing more than a lamenting post from myself cos I'm not in the best of health today (coughing like mad, feeling tired and lots to finish), but it does accurately represent my feelings and my perspective of this semester. And I get a little worried cos this is only week 2. Help!

How hard it is to strike a balance between work and play! But as I strive towards that balance, I'm still pretty happy that I'm managing to shove all kinds of activities in my already overloaded schedule. And variety is what keeps me going. To be able to do things, to see more and of course, my very favorite activity by far: Meeting up with friends. Humans were made to interact I guess..

But as I ponder over the days ahead as well as the next sem (yes! I'm already planning for that haha..), I think I have learnt my lesson the hard way. There's only so much my body can take. Haha.. oh well..

But I'm sure I can go way further. To soar into greater heights.
