First day of school - 4th Year

First day of school, and a start to a brand new semester. Many things have changed. Although I'm sure many of us would have been prepared for the gigantic leap to the next level in terms of the workload, I cannot help but find the semester ahead a little daunting. It's not just the sudden increase in the amount of things to read up on or the long days ahead of having to sit in the same lecture hall for hours on end. Rather...it's the aspect of suddenly having to recall and apply previously learnt knowledge to the more practical tasks assigned to us. And the warning bell just goes off in the head with "uh-oh.. i can't remember much of what I've learnt in the past 3 years". There is a sense of increased responsibility for ourselves... cannot relax and sit back anymore, not unless one wants to graduate in 2 years' time with nothing but the plain bare facts of what we're being tested on. That day of going into real practice seems scarily near... and to think that after 3 years of studying, we still feel almost as incompetent as before.

But it's definitely going to be an interesting year ahead. I foresee a lot of mistakes made and insecurities in dealing with the animals themselves. But by the end of the year pple will surely have developed more confidence with the new skills picked up.

And so, it's time to work really, really hard. I tell myself I've got everything I could possibly want, and more. No more excuses not to put in my best effort in everything I do.
