It's Only Been 4 Days!

It's only the fourth day of the semester but already I feel so exhausted. I hate walking in campus,seeing people I dont know,people that dont matter,kiasu coursemates and doing things I dont want to. I just want to go to class, do what I have to and get the hell out of campus. I get irritated when I see students 'lepaking' in campus, like they're really enjoying themselves sitting at corridors and cafes,yapping without a care. I guess its partly because I used to enjoy doing exactly that but somehow lost it over the past couple of months. And I can't see any way it's gonna be rekindled.
I kinda miss last semester; yum char sessions,church, choir (see how academis don't fit in?;))It was so much fun, things looked good,everyone was happy, not just superficially. But I know I had a part to play in killing all the fun.
The concept of karma, though overrated, is most definitely true. Each beginning must have an end. What goes up must come down. What goes around will come around.
At least memories dance lively in our minds.
That doesn't mean I'm living in the past, it just means I'm using these so-called good times to move forward. So far so good...
I thought I was the only one,but Mai Yin has been waking up each day feeling like crap too. You know how there are days when you get up in the morning inspired and motivated to seize the day and look forward to going about it? Well, simply put,it's a feeling so foreign right now.Maybe I haven't settled down yet.
Let's see how things go.
The ironic thing is, each subject that I've registered for this time is INTERESTING. Each one of them! Oh, except lab, of course. I've never liked lab sessions. Each experiment is a test of my stupidity and patience. Almost always, half my product is filter paper mesh.
Finally gonna enjoy the academics! Pity I had to wait till the final semester to smile in a lecture hall.
Anyway, back to the subjects.
I attended my first class on Abnormal Psychology. This is the first time a lecturer had 100% of my attention from the beginning till the end, my mind didn't wander at all. That's how awesome his class is. He's gonna organise a talk on supernatural stuff and exorcism by people who are knowledgable n these topics. Cool, huh?Then we're gonna visit psychiatry wards and interview psychiatrists, counsellors and psychologists and write papers on our 'activities'. There'll also be topics on Human Sexuality, Schizoprenia, and Suicidal Tendencies among others.
Now, don't you think Abnormal Psychology should cover The Abnormal Workings Of The Male Mind? Talk about a truly enlightening subject matter!
The other papers are Palm Oil Technology (the lecturer is not bad looking, and really nice on top of that!Motivation...hhmmm),and Pollution and Environmental Chemistry.
Okay, before you think I'm a freak calling these papers 'interesting', you have to understand that I detest what I'm doing. My past Chemistry papers involved spectroscopy(joy!), physical chemistry (yippie!) inorganic Chemistrty (just shoot me!).
So,excuse me being excited over these papers. At last, Chemistry papers with proper human-related current issues. Politics in Chemistry?Hmmm...
Oh yeah, I'm also taking Tamil. Yes, I'll be doing my first level Tamil.
Soon, I'd shed the 'coconut' name...
Soon, I'll be ordering food in Tamil; no more amused looks from indian waiters coz I answer their questions in Malay...
Soon, I'll be bargaining sarees without feeling stupid and coming off cheated...
Soon, I won't be a karrupu suthe vella karachi anymore...
SOON!



My bud,Taren and I....
