i don't know about all of you, but i'll miss my school.
i was thinking of going on at length about things like not having to divide a one hour and forty minute break into 3 portions (forty for eating and talking to people, forty for IS rehearsal and twenty for inevitably wasting time) to maximise productivity, or not having to whine about how we fell asleep at 9 pm the day before and didn't do gp cos dance rehearsal was so exhausting, or... i am contradicting myself, aren't i.
so perhaps some of the things i've just mentioned don't sound particularly worth missing, but.. they are. at the expense of sounding sadistic there is some kind of collective joy in trials. i guess this only comes to pass when you've got a community around you who is going through the same situation, and who cares. i'm glad to have found that here, in ac. of course i don't mean my two years spent here have been nothing but trial after trial. there have been irreplaceable, joyous moments as well.
i guess the thing that makes leaving jc different from leaving mg is that this time, we know that the path ahead is no one else's but our own. apart from some of us who might end up in nus or ntu or smu together, the rest will find ourselves in different parts of the globe. and this time, there is no retreating into our comfortable cliques anymore. we're really growing up guys.
that said, it shouldn't scare us. we know the path ahead holds euphoria and disappointment in the same breath, but we also know that we are able to emerge victorious. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope an a future." Jeremiah 29:11. Our God is able, He is mighty, He is faithful. :)
see you friday guys!
