Routine

posted on October 14th, 2008

It's been a while since lectures began, nearly two weeks! Routine has settled in, I got my timetable in my mind, I know which lectures I should not miss at all and which ones I shouldn't go just for the sake of not wasting time, I've got shitloads of math work to do, and the list goes on.

Most of the lecturers this year are pretty good and I got along with most of them, except for the SoK lecturer. She treats us like kids and frankly I hate being treated like one. Let me stay at the back if I wish to sit at the back, let me look through the window if I'm not interested and oh, the best one -- if you miss a lecture, get a note from parents. As if I'm not the one who'll suffer the consequences of not going to the lectures when I sit for the exam.

Not only the teachers did change, but also my friends. Most of the people I used to hang out with last year have either left to go to another school or repeating. There's two sides to this; classes are smaller so we get on a faster pace and some jerks I ain't seeing no more. The negative side, I'll miss some of those who left. And don't come up with ways to keep contact, MSN, email, whatever. Those are crap. There's nothing which surpasses spending hours together and going to good and bad times together. And it's kinda hard to meet up, everyone is so busy these days.

Free time has been drastically reduced.. I miss Summer sometimes, although inevitably, sometimes it's boring. But I miss waking up and deciding at that moment what shall I do on that particular day. And I miss hanging out at Bugibba. Back in Summer, when I saw 9.30pm on the clock, I used to start preparing and go out with friends. Now, when I see 9.30pm on the clock, I start wrapping up the day. And, really, when you finish at 5pm, with another hour to arrive home, which means, you'll arrive at home at 6pm, there's no energy left to work on personal projects or similar things. Just eat, watch some tv, check emails and maybe watch a film, and it's time to go to sleep again.

Heh oh well, life has to go on. So for the next six months I'll be in the same routine, until exams pop up and crap my pants. Then it's another 4 months of holidays, probably to get bored again.

...Isn't it ironic? I longed to get my documents so that I could start looking for a job. Sometimes I would even get really sad! Now that I am working I wish I could work part time sometimes because there is just so much to do at home! And we don't have kids! :)

As usual, it's a matter of balance: routine-free time and creativity :)

Good luck with your studies!
Hi wen! :)

To be honest, I don't find it ironic.. It's more like being undecided.. when it's Summer, I wish it's JC, when it's JC, I wish it's Summer. Go figure! :/ We'll see how it'll be when I get a job.. there won't be no Summer :P

Hope you're doing fine over there ;)
Hmm my SOK lecturer says the same things, we might have the same crap one. =P
Ahh I miss Summer already!
Hi Chrissy! :) hmm... might be! I don't know if she teaches first years, but probably she does... How I wish I still have the same lecturer from last year! :(

Hope you're doing well at JC ;)
Yup doing quite well :)
I wonder if I've seen you in these past 2 weeks and just not known who you were xD
hmm I have a hunch you went by once.. but I wasn't sure at all if it was you and I decide not to risk asking and get a "I don't know you from Adam" answer :P
Haha well I have no idea what you look like. So very sorry xD I shall find out who you are one day *grins*
