College Schmollege

January 31st, 2007

the past couple of weeks have been a right headache for me. okay lah biarlah aku berkongsi my dilemma with you. here’s the thing : i want to quit college.

why? because college is boring. it’s mentally unstimulating. and i have to wake up at 9am every other day, to travel 30 minutes to Subang (which, btw, is not even with wai min anymore coz we have different schedules and i’m too incorrigibly anti-morning to wake up at 6.30am [i mean, wtf, who wakes up at 6.30am? i did, for my 1st and 2nd semester, but never again will i] to carpool with her), only to have my brains bored out of me for 3 hours before life resumes properly again.

for the past 6 months, i’ve been trying to combat this problem by taking 3 subjects per semester when everyone is taking like 4 or 5. then, i sneakily pick the subjects that are back-to-back, and only on mondays, wednesdays and fridays. ahh, clever me!, thought i. now my tuesdays and thursdays will be college-free!

BUT NO. ITS NOT ENOUGH. I WANT MY MONDAYS TUESDAYS WEDNESDAYS THURSDAYS FRIDAYS SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS COLLEGE-FREE!!!!!!!!

this semester is exceptionally bad because even though i thought i was soooo clever in picking Macroeconomics as one of my subjects, it turns out that this total Attendance Nazi is my lecturer instead of the previous econs lecturer who actually accepted medical certs with ‘period pains’ stated as reason for absence. so get this : she actually deducts 1% for each day you’re not in her class. and guess what? i was late for two days this month, and apparently that’s considered being absent, so i already got 2% deducted from my final percentage.

WTF!!! the kiasu nerd in me wants to hurl herself off the twin towers!!! how now?? i’m 8% away from losing my A in macroeconomics, you know anot?!

the other issue is that because of Attendance Nazi, i cant travel anymore. how am i supposed to not go anywhere for the next 4 months??? i wanna go for concerts in singapore! i wanna go scuba diving in koh samui! i wanna have siew long pau in shanghai with pauly! i wanna go to melbourne to see johanny, lynn, xiang, ben, karina, rudy, shu shen, jess, will, fark lah why is the whole world in melbourne. i wanna camwhore in singapore’s max brenner with tim and eat geylang dim sum with vicnan! i wanna go to bangkok’s chatuchak market with gook! i wanna go to taiwan to learn chinese! i wanna climb mt kinabalu (wtf tak jadi oredi)! i wanna go to amsterdam with azlan and eat space cakes till we die! i wanna go to brisbane to meet up with kev! i wanna go back to bali and have the best pasta in the world! i wanna climb volcanoes with chi! i wanna go backpacking in india!

and lastly, i wanna go to hongkong and be with Martian.

(yes lah we got back together lah shut up everybody)

i havent seen Martian in one whole month. that is a disgustingly long time for me to be apart from him, because i’m so used to seeing him every 2 weeks. ok im going to stop here before i emo about how sucky LDRs are. and how i may not even be spending valentines day with him!!! *EMO!!!!!!!!!*

back to talking about college. right. right. college. college. so.. why i SHOULD stay in college. well, got lah the reasons. they’re weighty enough to make me take a step back and tell myself to be levelheaded about this, and not be carried away by my love for travel, my love for Martian, and my love for sleeping in till 2pm in the afternoon.

sigh! but.. it’s just college. now before you nag me about how important my education is, you think i dont know izzit? i planned already wan ok. the plan is to take my SATs or ACTs, then apply to schools in the US. i’m not going to transfer credits. so technically, until then, i can do absolutely shit if i want.

aiyoh i dont know lah. why dont YOU tell me what to do??? :( i already delayed paying my fees for a whole month.

*sits in a corner and eats cake*

edit : i just realized that my blog doesnt have a Rant category! wow! do i really not rant at all on my blog?? i shall create one, specially for this post.
