when is too much, too much?
Oh no, the exams week is fast approaching.
Already, long exam schedules and special projects are popping up left and right. From Comm3, Soc Sci2, Chem1, to even PE, examination dates are lining up and the readings are also piling up at my table back at the dorm. And add to that my responsibilities at the dorm as our corridor's Sociocom head.
It's not that I'm complaining( although I admit I often do). It's just that I'm worried that my academics might suffer if I really pour in time and effort into the Socio-Cultural Committe. I mean, I've always been the type of person who shies away from responsibilities, not because I can't do them mind you, but because I believe other people could accomplish them better than I could. Besides, I believe I'm more of a follower rather than a leader-type of person. In short, I'm not leadership material.
Okay, I know you think I may just be lazy. But really, I don't like biting off more than I can chew, so to speak. That's why I'm not very open to taking up responsibilities.
For one thing, I'm already having a hard time as it is fulfilling my duties as a Christian, a son and a brother, a dorm resident, and especially as a student . Besides, I came all the way here to study, so my priorities should be my academics. But alas, it seems that no matter how hard I try, I just can't escape from (added) responsibilities.
Well, it all started when I got elected as the new Sociocom head due to a reorganization caused by some 'internal problems' within our committee. Now, barely less than a month as the new head(and that already includes the Christmas break), I'm starting to feel the weight of the new responsibility I've assumed.
You see, I have a lot to live up to since our committee was always active and had so many activities last semester. We already have some nice plans and goals, but achieving them is a different matter. Even if there's a project head for every program/activity, it's still my responsibility (argh, it's the ''r" word again..) to oversee and ensure that the goals are accomplished. And some people in our corridor are just too hard to please...
Honestly I never really wanted any of this. But due to some circumstances beyond my control, these responsibilities are now mine, whether I like it or nor. I guess I'll just have to accept them and pray for Divine Guidance.
Maybe I just worry too much. But if I do, it's 0nly because I don't want to fail the expectations of other people. Ah, if only life were so simple...
...duh, as if.
