(end of) August update

Just came in here to dust off some cobwebs. It's been so long since I last posted (a 'real' post - that's 2 weeks ago). Haven't been doing much (unless you factor readings in - not exactly an exciting affair). But yes it's only Week 3, but I think the stress is setting in already. Year 2's exciting but also rather fearful, to me, at least (see post). Suddenly the yearning for holidays is much stronger (funny how we wish school would start during holidays, and vice versa). But that will, of course, be 99 days later when my exams end (wow, talk about time flying past).

Met up with some JC pple over saturday. The topics, of course, don't deviate much from all the adult-stuff of relationships (and recently, the topic of marriage is creeping in. I reckon it wouldn't be long before the stuff of pregnancies dominate dinner conversations).

The issue of SEP is also begining to bother me. Technically, application hasn't started, but of course, it's always good to get some info on hand, especially the money part. Suffice to say, I think that doesn't post a major issue. The problem comes more on the bolts-and-nuts stuff like how much credits can be mapped back, what modules can be taken etc. Being an accelerating semester, this isn't the best of stuff to be distracted by all these stuff. But oh well, I suppose the exposure would far outweigh my current mundane preoccupations.

I just realised how much more complicated life has been since leaving JC and NS. Funny how we always wished to "go out and do real stuff" when we were younger, and now, at the threshold of fulfillment, we shrink back from it. Perhaps the appeal of things back then was that life was so much simpler, so much less complicated. No need for visions of 1, 5, 10, 30 years down the road. Life was always about one step at a time, revolving round recess times, lunches, dinners and nights outs (of course, outfields too). Then again, in retrospect, the past is always varnished.
