It's Spring time

Just as the title implies, it's Spring and not as in the season but as in the semester. Spring 2014.

Before starting off on how the very first day of this semester was I've got to make a few little point outs. First of all, back here Winter was really late, and it's already mid-February and boy it's really cold. However, the cold back here is like torture. Let me emphasize on that point, when I said " torture" I really meant it. Last year, I've been to Korea and it was Winter time. The streets were covered in white and the breeze was really cold, but to my surprise I loved the weather. It was perfect and pleasant to my skin. The Koreans wore thick coats and were literally covered from head - to - toe, while I on the other hand, had my normal long-sleeved outfits with a knee-length coat on. It was pretty nice to be honest despite being -17 degrees. Maybe because I was not used to such cold weather, but it was kind of funny for me to quickly adapt to it considering the fact that I'm a person that gets really cold really fast. Anyways back to the Equator countries like the UAE, cold is torture like I previously mentioned, I mean it's only 16 degrees but I feel dead from the inside out, literally. It's so painful to my bones I feel they would shatter from it. It's quite ironic really, but bearable. The only thing we accept and have no saying in is the weather.

Moving to my first day of this promising semester. First of, to be personal satisfaction I finally started in my beloved major/track. Words can't express how excited I am about that although it might sound very weird to talk about but I love what I have for a track. It's a track I've loved before getting to know it really. This is where " Happiness and Satisfaction is the key " works yet I'm not quite sure that is a saying but I hope you got the point. If a person is really happy and satisfied about what they do then there's no doubt it's going to be a piece of cake. That I know for a fact because I've experienced it. So I'm really glad about that.

I'll have to contain my content and satisfaction about my first day and move to what incidents highlighted it. For a start, there's no doubt challenge is everywhere. However, if you're planning on challenge or even 'war' then I do not think that's the right choice.

Let me explain:

Here's the scenario. As usual I was the only student from my college ( I plan on keeping it to myself ). It didn't seem surprising to me at all considering I did not recognize a single face from the 60 students surrounding me except for my best friend. She was the one reason I signed up for that class and more or less we were up for it together so that wasn't a problem at all. Like always the professor liked that fact that I was from my college because not a lot of students from it sign up for such classes. I did so because I wanted to take interesting free electives and diversify my knowledge.

"So I heard from your previous deans that students from your college are really smart"

That wasn't excpected but yes we are smart ..I guess?

The other girls did not seem to like that comment and were like " Sir, students from our college are smart and only them" Okay I did not want to misjudge her but there's no need for challenge. I mean the professors point was to know more and back up what he heard, there was nothing wrong with that right? I mean I deserved a little attention considering the fact that I was unofficially an " outsider "? If that's the right term to use. Anyways that's not the case what I want to point out is, although we come from different cities and have different interests, that does not mean we should battle it out. There's no need for that.

If you felt the challenge, you can apparently point it out in a better mannered way and not disgust. No one said other colleges were not qualified, we're just talking about them in general. If an alien was in that class and the professor found that interesting and surprising, he would basically spend the entire hour trying to get answers for his questions right?

Just let it pass..just let it pass : what I always say to keep it calm.

It disappoints me to see how people turn out to be. I mean there's no harm in showing your bright side and keep the dirty one to yourself, right?

Nutshell : The first day was promising, although the heat did not help at all but it's going to be  a thrilling ride. And that I know for sure .
