" You could always work harder."

"Do you think my current level of knowledge would suffice?" I asked, doubting my current standard.
"Well, You could always work harder." The researcher response to me when I inquire about potential research under him.
" True." I muttered, couldn't really find proper words to response.

Surprisingly, this scene depicted above kept replaying in my mind. Where I displayed typically characteristic of getting accustomed to the world, not daring undertake adventure and risk, refuse to "jump start" and insist on" slow pace walking". Argh, must remind myself not to walk my path on auto-pilot. Never stop believing, especially on myself.

Side Note
On the other hand, meeting and talking projects with researchers regarding their field is an amazing experience. The dazzling eyes, enthusiastic aura of theirs and most importantly, the research topics, all amaze me. The feeling of Eagerness and thrilling underwhelmed me, how I wish I will get the summer scholarship....

Exams

The fact that my mid-term examination is just next week came to hit me yesterday (Yes, I weren't aware of this until yesterday). This realization really have me reconsider everything I have done so far.

This semester have been 'littered' with more assignments and report than previous. Overloading for science is just a crazy idea, so is having 3 labs (which all need formal report to follow up) and assignments weekly.

The worst thing happen when mid-term exam hits the fan, making my nightmare of having two assignments, one lab session, one lab report and one exam all on Monday a possible reality. Looking at what kind of situation I have got myself into, I must have vastly overestimated my abilities...

Well, worst come to worst,
I will preserve..
