Week 1: I was never like them.

i've survived a week of uni...HOORAH! actually, and let this just be a secret between you and me, there wasn't much surviving to be done. i can pretty much go in how and when i please...except on fridays because as we all know, if it seems to good to be true, then it most probably is. so yes, the only time when i legitimately have to go into university is on friday mornings from 9.30-10.30. every other times are fair game. so come and talk to me on msn and keep my company ok? everything seems a little more mundane these days post-kl excitement.

anyway, that's not all i wanted to say. i'm in my fourth year now in sydney uni and in all honesty, i never imagined i'd stick it out this long. when i was in first year, i had this terrible fear that i'd just pack up and leave before the first semester was over because i wouldn't have been able to cope with the change. i was so sure that i'd up and go running back to kajang, possibly ending up in One Academy doing something like graphics design or journalism. but look at me now! i say, go stubborn-ness!

okok...that's not what i wanted to say either. what i REALLY wanted to say was that the kids, and i mean the freshies, all seem so young! you can easily spot the freshie from a crowd of students. they're the ones exuding fresh exuberance from their faces, all eager and waiting for the next class, the next practical, the next hot guy/girl to sit beside them in tutorial. they're the ones with the backpacks pulled high up on their shoulders and an armful of textbooks that look as though they collectively weigh about 5kgs. they're the ones who talk too fast, laugh too loud and buy too many beers in Manning even though they know that by doing so they're totally gonna fuck up their chem lab which will be coming up in an hours' time.

these people are the freshmen, the noobs and they are completely devoid of the cynicism that lecturers, 8am-starts, assignments and deadlines will bestow upon them in the months to come. and like the sadist that i am, i look at them with glee because i know that in time, they will understand what university truly means.

i can't wait for second semester to roll in. HAHAHA!

love you peeps bye.
