Online class, you ok?

Hello peeps! I have not kept my promise to update my blog regularly. In fact there is only ONE post about my Korea trip. Very disappointing. I'll try to catch up later okay! (:

Anyways I'm back because I want to update about my online class. By now everyone probably know that all university students were instructed to resume classes online. There's no exception for the final year so- Honestly, online class sucks but that's the only platform available before everything goes back to normal. Students need to catch up with syllabus, final years need to graduate *coughs, coughs* so whether or not we like it, we don't really have a choice.

It's really sad to go through this pandemic situation while you are on final semester of degree. This indicates that there will be no more attending physical class, no more hugs from your friends (reassuring you that life would be ok despite the workload), no more our usual lunch at KK1 or KK11, no more meetings at the library (which reminded me of the newly installed lift that I only used for one semester), no more karipaps at kiosk, no more waiting at the lobby, no more Makcik cafe for good hot choc, no more sembang sembang tepi jalan, no more sitting at the bench waiting for class, and the list goes on and on.

Although sometimes I think of this situation as a blessing, I couldn't help thinking that it could have been better if I could cherish my final semester with my friends. But it is what it is.

How have I been coping with online class, you ask???
BAD BAD. Is it surprising if I told you that there are days when I would just open my Microsoft teams and sleep while the lecture is still on-going. Thank God we could record the lectures but even so I never really take the time to listen to them. Frankly speaking, I slacked off real bad during online class, especially during the first two months and I'm not proud of it. I have trouble sleeping at night trying to finish off my assignment and when the day comes,... I just uh, I NEED SLEEP to function ok!!

But then it hits me that this could be my last time as a student and it wouldn't do me any harm if I could sacrifice my sleep and attend classes. After all, I would be the one at loss if I'm not paying attention and take my classes seriously. So I started to journal again, make a to-do list, record myself in classes (trying to make a video about online classes here but-) to keep myself on the ground. It has been good so far. I presented in Insolvency tutorial after a while!!!! Did two of my presentation  a week earlier than I was supposed to present them (please make du'a for me). Also my drafting test was a-ok inshallah (we have the test yesterday). I am trying to keep up with my lecture recording so please~ *begging to myself* please for once, try to commit!!!

Am I worried about the future???
ALL THE TIME. but that's for future me to figure out. I wish her all the best T.T

I think this is it for now??? I'll try to catch up with my writing again (trying to not make any promises here because I know I'll disappoint hekhek).

See you guys!
Bye.
