First Lesson, First Impression

 

Today spells the start of my course.

And I love it! I have to admit I walked into class today with both a sense of excitment and some apprehension. After all, it has been so long since I study anything that was not remotely finance related. But, the first lesson has sparkled my excitment over the course.

My lecturer is this delightful lady who cracks me up with her jokes and blunt demeanor. She is good fun. I like her style of teaching too. It is very discussionary, alot of room for thought provoking questions and insights. I am already getting the feeling that I will get alot out of this course. In fact, I think I am going to make some interesting self discoveries before the course ends.

I do not know anybody in class yet but they seem an interesting mix of characters from diverse background. It is going to be fun getting to know them. New perspectives and horizons to explore.

And you know what the irony of this? I am taking this course cos I am ready to pursue a different direction in life but this course may just end up helping me to be more effective in my job. Tough call if that happens. I guess, that’s why life is so interesting. You never know what you stumble across.

Just attending the class makes me realised how good it feels to try new things. I think I was allowing life to get too stagnant for my own good. I am more resolved to fit more new experiences to my life. Well, after 30 years of sheltered lifestyle, I have alot of catching up to do. 

And you know what the upside of this course? We get some really interesting homework. For our first assignment, we are supposed to go around and peppered our daily conversations with 20 “Why?” and come back to discuss what we observe from our victims. Ha! Life just doesn’t stop getting better.
