Stress or Not
7.8.06

These past few days, I must admit that I got stress easily. Well... the problem, that you might know already, is my PR course. I was telling myself for hundreds times that this was only the beginning (1st week in fact), why should I think badly whether I can pass this unit or not. On the other hand, I was thinking that because this was only the introduction unit to PR, I should have found it everything alright and enjoyable, not freaking me out.

I recall what my friends in Indo said about communication students in one of the universities in my hometown. They said it was one of the easiest courses (the other are marketing and management). And the students there only bother their appeareances instead of their brains. Well, I don't like the fact that the course I am doing is perceived as a useless one. But I have nothing to say when I compare that situation to mine.

It was wonderful, I might say... that most people in my tutorial were actively contributing their ideas while I only could turn my head from left to right and from right to left. I didn't know what the hell they were talking about.

Fiuh... this small matter shouldn't have made me frustrated. Anyways, apart from some people encouraging me to change major and the others supporting me in fighting back against this problem, I must say that I won't give up and change my major (to accounting). If I have to say what has become my consideration to study in Perth especially in Curtin uni. It is not because I have family or relatives or even friends here. It is not because Perth is my dream city either. It is because... when I call last year's memory to my mind, when I was desperately struggling to get my student visa with all the qualifications so that I could study in Curtin... It is all because I want to combine two degrees which are Public Relations and Japanese.

So can you imagine how much time I had spent on considering the right course for me? And when I did that, I know I didn't walk alone. I mean... I asked God for many times...
I said if this wasn't the right for me, then I would be ready to abandon my proposed dream and never get my student visa in two weeks time.
