Your call

Helloooooo.

Once again I apologise for the lack of updates. Everything about college screams "NO TIME"

Would like to say something really random and that is that I think I'll miss tpjcians after I graduate.

After half a year I'm finally starting to settle in and realise that two years is really too little time. Before you know it it'll be the end of the year, and then we'll all be busy mugging for 'A's and then BAM. Graduation day.

Recently I've been thinking about how different jcs and polys are, and it's kind of interesting because the few times I've been to polys, especially RP, it's like a whole new world down there. Really.

A world full of mohawks, dyed hair, loud music, art and fun.

Everyone there just seemed so confident and at ease with themselves, with all the funky clothes and loud chatter. And after the weekend I went back to college and all the differences were just so obvious.

My previous bandmates were all from polys and they all live in the west; I was the only college kid and the only one living in the east.

The drummer's mom also used to drum. Both their parents encouraged them to do what they liked and play music if it was what made them happy. My mom told me to quit when I told her I'd joined a band.

The very few times we met up, we talked about a lot of things; about all the places we'd play in, what we were going to do when we got famous, possible new band names and all that.

They would headbang in the studio and laugh about it, and go into random improv sessions.

My current bandmates are all from my college. We jam and have fun, but we don't talk about playing gigs or making it big. We don't have a band name yet.

I'm not saying that I don't have fun or it's a bad thing or anything like that, because I do enjoy myself. It's just that it's different.

And maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's just me, but I feel like that's just the way college and poly kids are.

College kids are taught to stay on the sidewalk and keep following the pavement. Poly kids are taught that sometimes it's okay to cross the road.

Musings aside, (haha that makes me sound so old) how's life?

I'm actually quite happy with the way things are right now.

I'm trying to do my homework and revision consistently (though there's almost always no time for revision) and school is actually kinda fun.

I like school, is that weird? Oh but I get pissed when there's anything that I don't understand in class or in lectures.

Today I couldn't understand this chem question and I sat there feeling extremely grouchy. I was sitting with Huiyi but I don't think she realised I was sulking over a chem question haha ok that's good.

So yep, that's it for now.

Homework time yay

BYE
