School has finally started for us SMU students, so no more doing nothin but slacking at home or dancing.
I realised that after having a 4 month long holiday, going to school on the first day of the term somehow feels like the first day of my freshmen year. Sporting a slight cough and sniffing the whole day, it really reminded me of my first day 2 years ago. It puts you in a non-conversational mood, which isn't really good for a first day. Walking towards school this morning, I barely recognise the people around me. Unlike last year, where you walk a few steps and you end up meeting someone you know . The whole of today, I easily did not recognise more than half of the students I saw, making me feel even more out of place. I suppose that's inevitable; The campus has grown bigger, the junior cohort has grown in numbers, many of the seniors that you are familiar have graduated and many from my own batch are on exchange overseas.
This is when you realise that you are an oldie, not some lost freshmen. A third year. The point of time you start thinking of ways to graduate with decent grades instead of finding ways to get more involved in school. You would no longer gonna be excused for the little mistakes you make, and more is expected out of you. Crap. Time to grow up.

Changes
Ack. 2 more weeks to school.
What happened to the holidays??!!!!
Just disappeared into thin air. It's so easy for the days to just go by like that. And it ain't as if i'm doing something really fruitful. Rummage was at least an experience. Right now, I'm doing convocation. and it's bloody hell wasting my time! grrrr... patience. I expected this but..well. nvm.
Changes. Like everytime before a new year, or in this case, a new school term, I like to make changes around me. Call it a gemini charateristic or something, but yes, sometimes i do get bored when I'm stuck with the same thing after a while. But I guess it's the same with most people, change helps to make things more interesting, at least it wouldn't feel as if we're mundane and boring creatures :) Yet at the same time, I'm quite a traditional person. Sometimes I prefer things simple and in the old ways. I do prefer VCRs to DVDs at times, paper and pencil over the lappy most times, brochures over the internet etc, and oh! chess must be played with chess pieces (unless the computer version has real fight scenes when you eat other pieces up) .
Okay. as usual, I'm digressing. (now you know why it takes a zillion years for me to do an assignment, and can't write a GP essay that doesn't go out of point). Sooo... anyway. I'm into this whole CHANGE thingy, cuz i'm happy that my room is mildly revamped! What a wonder a small little rearrangement can do. My radio is now on my table, i got a corner for my watches in my side shelf and my thousand and one knick knacks are on the shelf now. i.e. my table is A LOT neater, my laptaop adaptor no longer has to be strapped across my bed when i use it, and i no longer have decomposing roses on display. And obviously the happiest person from this is my mum. She's been bugging me like forever. heh. Now i just have to find the mood, materials and a creative mood to kick in so that i can neaten up my corkboard and make it more useful.
2nd change. My mum, sis and I went to make new glasses! Daddy wanted to too.. but the funky glasses doesn't suit him. He looks best in his frameless ones now. Anyway, Greeeeennnn is the colour for moi! No longer the silly purple thingy that gives me a headache because my lenses is of a degree that is too high for me.
3rd change. Still pending. my hair. Somebody please give me advice. (okay, i know this sounds alittle bimbotic but i can't decide) Should i cut it short short? shoulder length? or leave it cuz the curls are still daaaaammmmnnnn nice and i will never ever have the patience to keep it so long again. Pls comment! heh. shameless me.
