The CSB Experience: Lighter, Stable, Happier, Better

I've been planning to write about this for the longest time. Since I'm already in the middle of the first term, I could safely say that in comparison with my first term in Benilde, I feel a lot lighter with no long-term committments except for MMx. I get better sleep no matter how late the night is (because I no longer have 8 am morning classes). And I've never been this happier than my past 3 terms. So it means, this term's better than last year's.

Last term, I made myself pre-occupied with a lot of things in and out of school. For once, I tried my hand on debating by joining DebSoc, leading an already unruly block section as class president, and being a member of my MMA ord, Mediamax. Outside of school, I continued to do violin but was temporarily stalled because of scheduling conflicts.

The pressure of doing a lot of things at once already took a toll on me. Feeling stressed and sleepy, and getting into internal conflicts within my block, it's really  not working out for me.

On Debsoc, I have nothing but kind words to my former orgmates there because at least I learned a thing or two of being confidentnwhen I speak in public, etc. But due to personal problems (depression among others), I have to drop myself out ("Quitting"). No hard feelings really?

Violin has  been a part of my life when I first started out a few years ago. But given the difficulty of continuing it with much inconvenience with my schedule, I had no choice but to stop for the time being. I'm not sure if there'd be a chance that I would come back but time will only tell.

Today, I'm putting emphasis to MMx, as well as my studies. I just hope thenext two terms can be as friendly as this one. :):)
