Hai, I miss being a student. =(

I went to the library on a very wet and grey Thursday at about 2plus, and saw many students in uniform on the bus, (presumably) going home. Then the beep beep of their ez link cards as compared to the lonely beep of mine further emphasised the great chasm that lay between my current life and one I led not more than 2 months ago... And since I didn't have a job that time, the extreme lack of purpose, coupled with extremely dreary weather was predictably depressing. I missed having something to do, a deadline to fulfill or just something to work towards. The days between getting back from Hong Kong and starting on my job were spent trying to get from one to another. I willed myself not to get out of bed till late in the morning so I would spend less time awake, and for lack of anything better to do I found myself playing Sims2 quite often, occasionally killing off my characters in various ways out of sheer boredom. Being a student meant I had a time table to follow and things to do! Though wasting time and stoning for leisure are much treasured activities, anything in excess is just sheer agony. You literally feel your intellect leaving you each day as you channel surf and basically while your time away. Not to mention it feels extremely decadent and sinful that you have your days free while others are slaving away, taking baby steps in their career rat races. Of course I miss the teachers as well, their comforting and stabilising presence. The familiarity and almost predictability of their behaviour, as well as school activities like bonding over gossip (and card games) during breaks are all things I dearly miss as well.

Perhaps we should go back again on a school day and pretend we're students again, with an entire day's timetable full of breaks... I wonder if anyone would catch us if we were in uniform and playing cards at the benches.. =)
