This is the first week of EPTI, which means no strolling on the street, no sleeping late, and no many other things. It is, honestly, a organized course. I can tell the track that the coordinators do try hard to put every useful information together. At first, I found myself not being able to speak up. It's not that I don't want to, or I don't know how to. My problem is that I have no material to say. Sometimes I get nevvous of thinking about speaking to other people. It is unusual to me. I have the language, most of the time, and I don't usually get nervous when I speak to others. Why? Why did such nervousness strike me? This is not a good thing if I really want to survive through the program. Should I say I'm lucky that I somehow found way small way out. I can't say I have totally overcome the problem, but, at least, I'm feeling a progress. Yet, still, I have to remind myself that making mistakes in class is not something to be ashamed of. It is the nature of the class--tolerating people's mistakes, even if they look really stupid. The good thing about this program is that I did get to know a lot of people from different countries and culture. This is really good since I really have to use lots of English to make everyone in the conversation understand my statement. I can't remember if there's any time in my life that English is most frequently used.
Will I survive through the program? I know what my expectation is, and I know there's a to-do list. It's not just about ability. Adjusment of my attitude and mindset probably takes more efforts.
Wish me luck!
