Wow, it's been a crazy 3 weeks for me. I've finally started my journey into the world of Mass Communications, and it's been quite exhilarating. I'll be coming home each day feeling as if my head's about to explode, and all I can think is that I've never felt this alive in ages. It's like one of those crazy roller-coaster rides. You're doing 360s and loops at break-neck speeds, coming this close to crapping your pants, and yet, at the end of it, you can't help but think to yourself, "AGAIN!" :)
Heh, alternatively, you could call me a glutton for punishment, but look at it from my point of view (As if you had a choice...). For the last 3 years, being stuck in National Service, I've become a tad too comfortable with people telling me what to do, and little independent thought in-between (Hmm, what shall I wear today? The green uniform, or the other green uniform? Woo, let's spice things up by not wearing any underwear!). All of a sudden, I'm stuck in an environment where my opinion is the only way I'm going to be heard, and saying 'yes' or 'no' to questions posed isn't going to do justice to the amount of money my parents have poured into this course for me. Let's not forget the effort and research put into doing my assignment. I mean, jeez, on my first day, I was asked to do a composition on TREES. Honestly, it's a crazy challenge. Go ahead, try writing a decent essay on trees now which doesn't make you wanna regurgitate blood after reading it. In half an hour *shakes head* Still, after being stuck doing IT for 5 years in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I know I was meant to do this after the first week.
So I've submitted my assignment and finished off my exam on Friday, and to cap it off, I attended an insane surprise farewell party for a friend of mine who's flying off this Monday for studies in Melbourne. Yeah, I thought the same thing most of you are right now upon finding out. "Lucky bastard." Then again, maybe not. Heh, it's a long story to get into, but let's put it this way: It's exciting to be in a new environment, but it's always hella scary when it dawns on you all you're leaving behind. Heh, we're only human no? Wesley Choo, I'm going to miss you, you crazy bastard. We all will. And you know that :)
