2nd semester of college

My first half-week of college has just ended. Some changes have occured, most notably in our time table. If before, one period lasted for half and hour, meaning that the longest sitting we'd have for a subject would be an hour, if it was a double period class. Currently, one period is now one and a half hours long. Hah! I laughed in disbelief when i first heard the news about the change, thinking 'no way!'. In class, i (of the short attention span species), concentrate at the most for about 45 minutes before i start fidgeting and glancing repetitively at my watch. Oh well, i'll look on the bright side. at least there's no double period classes. Can you imagine 3 hours of accounting? I can't. And if i do, i involuntarily shudder :p

The new intake for A-levels enrolled a couple days ago. Heh, whenever i see the new students wandering around campus during breaks between their orientation session, carrying those plastic welcome files sunway supplies them with, i can't help but snort and feel high and mighty in a hah-i've-endured-all-that-already sort of way. Anyone who has juniors, i'm positive you must have felt the same way, however minimally. But i feel for some of the students who haven't made friends yet and tend to wander alone. I know how they feel! Oh yes i do. I wish i could approach the stragglers and reassure them that this is just temporary, that they'll be making friends in no time. Heh, the PRS in me roars. Proud of it, babe! :D

I got my exam results a couple days ago too. Have you ever felt the rush of pleasure as a result of confirmation that you were meant to take these subjects you've chosen, and that leaving the science stream was indeed the correct decision? Have you ever felt joy knowing that yup, i'm meant to be here? Have you ever felt grudging happinness because finally, FINALLY, you see the hikmah you've been straining to look for ever since 7 different institutions rejected your scholarship application? (tak habis2 dgn my scholarship disappointment,i know, sorry. it stops here and now).

*Grin*. Alhamdulillah.

But it's only my semester exam. Still got my AS and A2 looming up. yikes.

All in all, despite the fact that the toll charge at sunway went up a whopping 60 cents to RM1.60 (curses!), it's been a pleasant start for the new year.

WOOT!(i still am not sure of the correct usage of this term :p)
