My Heaven (Japanese Version) by BIGBANG

And thus, school has started. Year 2 Semester 1. Jammed packed with people I know, people I've seen around, people I don't know, people I know too well, and of course, people I wished I'd have never known and people I miss. The amazing thing about organisations is the people. And with Singapore being this tiny country and the world being this small? Once you know someone, the likelihood of meeting them just increases exponentially. Year 2 is really different from Year 1. There are certain expectations in place, and there's this unseen pressure seeping into you with the nonstop references to internship, graduating and GPA. Not as much unbridled joy as before, but it has its own attractions. Like being able to anticipate how long it takes to travel to school so that you can sleep more.

I want a holiday. Yeah, term has just started yadda yadda yadda, but I really want to go on a holiday. Family or with friends would be nice. Countries... Taiwan? Indonesia's Bali? Japan? I would not mind goingback to Honk Kong again either. I think its just me being all escapist. During term you want to run away, but during the holidays you sometimes think of going back to school. Although that did not really happen this time round in summer. I guess it was because 30 weeks of formal schooling was enough to make 3 months seem short. In SMU, time passe oh-so-slowly when you want the holidays to come and there's always not enough time for projects and exam preparation. Most paradoxiacal indeed, but as the theory of relativity exists... I can say its all relative to what I'm doing.

Most of my classes this semester are in the afternoon. Only Biz Pro is on Thursday morning. Fridays are off, so if I really really wanted to, I could run away briefly. Not that I can afford to. I need to up my GPA by a whole lot tobe able to get some form of recognition from school when I graduate. I wonder if I am being too ambitious? But I refuse to think this way. If I don't aim for something, I will end up with nothing. I want to get a 3.5 GPA. I want to do well because I know I need to give back to my family. I want to do well because I know I will hate myself if I don't do better than that person. And anyone and everyone who reads my blog should know who is that lucky person that I wanna out-do.

Not sure why, but I've been in no special mood to blog recently. I think I might be getting more reticient. Either that or I'm getting reticent. I've realised I don't make for a good conversationalist on the internet, although I'm perfectly fine with for face to face and phone conversations. I just can't keep the conversation going if its online. And I'm supposedly young and tech-savvy. Oh well~ If this blog dies for a month or so, I don't think it'd be the first time, so I'll just apologise to my readers. I think hardly anyone is reading my blog nowadays anywya... So a bit of a non-issue?

Sleepy and tired. Hungry as well. My timetable gives me more time to sleep and prepare for class, but it is bad for my tummy. I have cookies and Pocky for lunch. Or I have a heavy tea break. Screwing up my internal meal allocation system. Sigh. What can I do? I could barely get any classes, so I shall not be picky and try my luck in changing classes left right and centre. But next semester will be killer. Finance. Marketing. CAT. Management Science. And I might just throw Ethics into the mix. I'll see how. I still have about 10 weeks to decide. After all, its only Week 1 of Semester 1. Long way to go for a short journey.

Shall conclude here. Not much else that I have a burning desire to say. Hungry. I shall procede to dinner, finish my Japanese homework before appearing online again. Wish me luck~
