hi, this is my blog, please feel free to leave comments (:
Well, today is the 3rd day of schooling life for Mr Law, & I must say it is not at all that rosy. Apart from that daze sustained from the hectic but fun orientation week which made me lose my voice, the immense commitment required for GESL is not really helpful to my recuperation. Im fine with the idea that NIE is trying to help expand our network and also for us to build rapport with fellow school mates, but perhaps not so much during our transition period I suppose. Frankly speaking, I would prefer to spend more time with my OG Apollo. Being split between two groups is not at all beneficial in helping us to establish strong and sound friendships. This of course, is solely my own opinion.
1st lesson on Mon, glad to see Michelle Tan from V3. I prefer to have a friend for lesson always. Geography is best, because of Ms Sin EEEEEE who will be my classmate for at least one semester, and also 2 other OG friends for lecture. Geography is my least lonely module. History is kinda fine also, have Alfred as my mate and also a few CTSS juniors. Just that the lecturer is a little soft. It would be much appreciated if he could use a mic for future lectures. Talk about my AED105. To sum it up, there are 22 students in the class; 21 are females.......... I know that males are rather scarce in NIE, but I cant fathom why my class has only 1 male?! Dont the programmer know that I feel so out of place in the class, with 21 females? Somehow, I feel that Im unwelcomed, in a world of all girls.
In a new environment, one must learn how to adapt, and in this fast paced world, speed in the adaptation is also essential. The saying that "time waits for no one" is true. I could have due to my age and experience, not bothered to make friends or make myself adapt to the changes around me. I could have allowed time to pass me: the time & opportunity to base myself in NIE by making friends. Again, it boils down to choices. Imagine if I had chose not to open myself to knowing my OG during the orientation camp; not keeping close contacts with them after the camp; not bothering to check who my classmates will be before my lessons and choose to sit by myself. A lot of what ifs. But Im glad I made the sound choice of maintaining a open mind and heart. Relishing the chance to meet more people in NIE.
Looking forward to my NIE life.
