temrisTomorrow is Friday, and it will mark the end of my first week at my new university. It went by as I expected: me being shy to ask to join the class' chat group (which I still haven't managed to join in), professors asking us to buy expensive books, my butt aching after sitting at the wooden seats, and I'm coughing -- probably caught a cold again! 🤦♀️
But, in many ways, I realized I've also changed a bit. In my high school, I mostly was silent in classes, but now I realize those classes were about things I wasn't very interested in, or I wasn't very good at. I find myself constantly engaging in classes now that they're centered around things I enjoy: language and literature! I also try to voice up my opinions even in things I don't think I'm very good at.
I also try to open conversations with anyone near me. It backfired once already (when I tried to explain the school's material sharing system to someone) but I'm trying to gather up my courage as often as possible these days, I'm not going to give up.
On Saturday there'll be online classes and I still don't know how that operates... 😭 And the handful of my classmates I have the contact information of, they also didn't know. We are going to be in shambles this weekend.
Anyway... In other news, I tidied up the story I'm writing a bit more. Before doing that, I tried to get my attention to something else to clear up my mind. I've been thinking about an WW1 AU for Chris/Leon for months, and I went and wrote a little starting point of a fic last week. (I'm now blocked at a point, so after that I went back to my original story HAHA :D) I hope I can finish that one before the year ends, because I think it has really good potential. Initially, when I had thought of it the first time, I think I checked if there were any fics like that, and I believe there might be some? Not sure... I don't want to read any, because then I usually think I might accidentally draw too many inspirations from those works.
