The second semester has started and I can already smell
the smoke of a fried brain... Eek! However, I seem to have a very positive
feeling about the next half of the year. Having settled into varsity life and
found my bearings and a routine (although I still haven’t adapted to waking up
at 5:30am yet...), I think on one hand it will be easier than the first
semester, yet still throw out a few curve balls along the way.
I’ve already begun frantically organising my calendar with
deadlines and so forth, and even begun my first project. For now I’m ahead with
all my reading material, and hoping to keep it that way! It’s a whole lot
easier when you know what your lecturers are talking about.
While everything sounds like a walk in the park, I
realised its only still the beginning and things are about to start picking up
in the next two to three weeks. Today I noticed the quote I stuck up under my
mirror last year to motivate myself throughout Matric:
“Be
like a postage stamp. Stick to it until you get there.” – Harvey Mackay,
and I remembered
the powerful motivating source it was for my final school year. That is why I
decided to share it with all of you. It may be just the words you need right
now. I certainly did, as I realised that if I just keep sticking to my ways and
stay motivated, I can make it through anything and accomplish any obstacle life
drops in my path. No matter how long the essay, complex the assignment or difficult
the test paper, I can do it (shouts from the audience: “yes we can!” *insert laughs
here*).
That being your motivational post for the month, I wish
you all the best in all your endeavours for the remainder of 2012. Be that
postage stamp and you will get there!
All the best,
Much love and motivation,
Nicole_Kayley <3
