Seeing how Gabrielle947 updated her thread I feel like bumping my own too as well. Probably you can already tell I was overreacting and exaggerating the whole studying thingy. I thought it's gonna be like a total hardcore with a test every week, but apparently it's not. I'm studying for more or less a month now and I didn't have a single test yet. There's gonna be some in a month, but studies are more of a laid back than I thought. Thanks to this, despite what I've said before, I still have time for movieforums!
On the occasion of the start of my new educational journey I, let's say, promised myself I'll try to be more self-confident and talkative in order to meet new people and have a higher respect from my lecturers. In high school I had this weird I-know-the-answer-to-this-question-but-not-gonna-speak-up-loudly-in-public syndrome. Not even sure why, because it's not like I am afraid of speaking. I just didn't, because I didn't feel like doing it. It's hard to explain, but yeah, I'm working on it. In terms of social relations I'm doing things two-years-ago myself would never do and mind you it's nothing wrong. I'm just more open and not embarassed to talk to people - including girls. ^^
And what's the best to me, I don't have to change my personality. Earlier I thought of myself as of a socially-awkward person, but now it's changed. I still didn't modify my habits and most likely won't, so I will not drink alcohol and will not participate in too many parties, since I'm not a party-goer at all. I will feel more confident in smaller groups of people and prefer to speak to them singly, but what's the most important I WILL speak to them and hopefully make new friends.
Wow, it sounds like a confession of a no-life.
