You know those days where you just had a day that's really simple but really nice that you end the day smiling from ear to ear just because?
Well I had a day like that today.
The day started a little chilly.. colder to what I am used to. I went to class like usual... felt kind of restless and paid maybe 60% attention to the lectures because I was 40% daydreaming. (well that doesn't really sound good). But that wasn't what was good about today, I just have a habit of starting from the beginning.
Anyway, I finally got the guts to go to the debating society's meeting. Honestly, I was intimidated. That was why I didn't go to their meetings from the start. I sent an email to them last week, and they said to just come along to their meetings. They hold internal debates, which I was too scared to sign up for haha, so I just watched today. But I will debate soon I hope. After Easter break. =) And what was nice was that... I made new friends =) and.... I realised that I wasn't so hopeless in debates as I thought because today I did join one of the teams in brainstorming and I could think of things that were relevant. I don't know about saying them out as a speaker though, but it kind of reminds me that I am not hopeless at it. My brain still does function as it did, and maybe being scared or intimidated, it's a little baseless. I know I've been doing public speaking for awhile before this, but debating is different. Sure, I debated in TARC for a semester, but my general knowledge isn't much and I still do not have the confidence sometimes. Well, almost all the time. The first step is usually the hardest, but... I'm proud of myself. Proud that I manage to conquer each small insecurity step by step. Imagine that I used to be too shy to even order food outside! Would you believe that if I told you?
I had a very thought-provoking intellectual discussion on msn with a friend just now. We were talking about dimensions, the structure of space, time travel, quantum mechanics, fate, prophecies and life in outer space. Put succintly in summary like that it doesn't seem that interesting but it was probably the best intellectual conversation that I have had in years. And that made my mood even better.
Besides that, I guess I get that feeling again that everything falls nicely into place. I love what I'm studying right now. My friends make me feel loved =p lol (I'm a sucker when it comes to friends telling me they miss me.. i go awww awww awww that is just so sweet =) And I so miss them too.) And I'm getting to know my little cousin, Nichole, 4 and the half years old who somehow adores me even though I've only been over at my aunt's place twice. lol. And I never am around kids... she's like the first kid I really played with. I taught her how to draw a sunflower on sunday. =) So proud of her... and myself hahahahaha
All in all, it's been an awesome day. Simple, but awesome. I love my life. =)
