Well, I haven't been updating in quite a while and it's already the 4th week of school! I've got my laptop, new friends, new campus and lots of new notes and concepts to grapple with. School is less miserable now with friends around (shortcake or otherwise..) =) and I think I'm getting used to waking up early in the morning. Not that I enjoy waking up early in the morning, but I'm kind of getting used to it, even though I tend to want to nap after lunch. =( Besides some things I don't get in organic chemistry and not understanding introduction to biology tutorials, the rest of the modules are quite ok and I even actually get economics! X) Plus I usually only have one session of tutorial a week and most of it's on Thursday so I can stall on homework for quite a while.. Lab reports however are disgusting especially when your results look strange and you don't really know how to explain what the question is asking for because you don't really know what it's asking for. =/ Ah well, everyone's flying off soon! Hope things go well for you there. =)

AHHHHHHH SO SCREWED UP! I booked my driving test way in advance on the 25th of October in the morning and it CLASHES WITH my tutorial! Not only that, I have a quiz on that day during that period of tutorial! ARGH I should just change my stupid elective to something else. =/ Oh damn, they shut the thing at 10pm. Shall have to try again tomorrow. I need to change driving slots la!!! =(

新不了情 万芳

心若倦了 泪也干了
这份深情 难舍难了
曾经拥有 天荒地老
已不见你 暮暮与朝朝
这一份情 永远难了
原来时还能再度拥抱
爱你的人如何死守到老
怎样面对一切我不知道
回忆过去痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来拨动我心跳
爱你怎么能了 今夜的你应该明了
愿难了 情难了

It's quite an old movie theme song, which I happened to hear while I was at gg's birthday chalet. It's sad and touching and makes for great listening when you're feeling blue. I was never one for listening to upbeat music when I'm not in a good mood, slow songs with a nice melody are infinitely more preferable when I'm feeling slightly down.

Anyway with about 5hrs of sleep since yesterday and gg's birthday party being over (kind of used the occasion as a marker), it's becoming quite apparent and a little scary that school's going to start next week. It's worse than a progression from primary school to secondary school or secondary school to junior college, things were taken care of for you there. In university the modules and electives and whatnot require mountains of initiative and you don't really have concrete timetables till everything's confirmed after you finish adding and dropping subjects. In the meantime it's getting harder to survive on a $25 a week allowance so you get an increase to something slightly above $200? And even then with adult transport costs, food and entertainment, it's not enough. So what does the average enterpreneuring teen do? Get a job of course! Usually it's doing part time at a shop or taking on tuition assignments, all of which require further amounts of your time. In addition, for convenience (and without doing all the proper calculations of coe, fuel prices and how much you're killing the environment), you decide it's a good time to learn driving as well. -watches as more time flies out the window- I'm scared about starting university, of having to start all over, to know that you have to make new friends and all your achievements (significant or otherwise) count for nothing. Perhaps it's the school environment I've been in since I started formal education that has deluded me into thinking that maybe I'm better than the average. I'm afraid that it's all going to be proven untrue. I feel entirely unprepared for what's coming up, my past knowledge of biology, mathematics and chemistry can hardly be sufficient. Sigh unfortunately none of this is going to make school any much more to look forward to.
