I've learnt that...
~Sometimes it's really not about how much effort you put into a piece of work. It's whether you've done it the way the lecturer wants you to. If you did it all wrong, it doesn't matter how much hours you spent drafing and researching and writing, you'll still get almost-a-zero. (Zero is impossible if you hand in something, and you hand in on time.)
~People are really adaptable creatures. I'm getting used to the cold and the wet and the gloomy days.
~It is essential to appreciate beautiful and sunny days. It's a rarity.
~Sometimes time doesn't really matter. Memorable and great friendships can be formed in 2 months. What matters is whether you care enough to actually talk to the person and spend time with him/her.
~Sometimes you don't get chances to talk to them at all. Circumstances changes everything.
~But when you see them along the corridors on the way to lectures, a sense of nostalgia washes your heart, and this thought crosses your mind, "we used to spend heaps of time together..."
~Sometimes the people you wanna spend time with doesn't wanna spend time with you. They're too busy.
~It's during these times, when you're lonely and bored, you think of home.
~And then that dreaded FCOM 110 assignments creep into your mind. You miss home. You have assignments. You don't have anybody to talk to. Suddenly everything seems so futile.
~But you keep on going. I mean, there's nothing else that you can do right?
~Well, you can always pray. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world. Ah, men's last resort. That's not right, though. I wish prayer is the first thing that pops into my mind when I'm stuck with assignments that rendered me clueless.
~There are people in this world whose main cause in life is to make you look and feel confused. For my case, these people are either guys or lecturers who don't make any sense.
~Come to think of it, all of my lecturers are guys. No wonder I'm confused.
~On the other hand, I'm always confused. Guys or no guys. But guys just make my confusion worse. No offence though. I know I'm generalising. Not every guy is like that. Most of them are pretty sweet.
~I have a statistics test next week. It'll be first test in university.
~It's at 6:30pm - 7:30pm. Out of all the time that they can choose for a test, they had to pick dinner time.
~Oh well, it suits everybody's timetable, that's for sure.
~I handed up my first major assignment 2 weeks ago. I have another one due next week. Bloody FCOM.
~But FCOM is suppose to train me in my writing. So I guess I should be grateful for the torture I'm going through. No pain no gain, eh?
~That reminds me of the principle of equivalent trade in alchemy: You cannot gain something without sacrificing something of equal value.
~There's no such thing as alchemy. At least, I don't think so. That principle was from an anime call Full Metal Alchemist.
~I miss watching anime.
~I miss lots of stuff. I shouldn't start listing. It'll take too much time. It's already 2:37am
~So I guess I better call it a night and go to sleep. I have a class at 10am. It's gonna be a long, long year...
