A much delayed post that I was suppose to put up 2 weeks ago.
Brother: Belindaaaa, why do you have to go to uni during half of my holidays? *makes a sad face*
Me: are you only complaining cos you have to do all the chores now?
Brother: yes.
Chello guys, uni mid-sem break is over.
What have I been doing? Nothing. It's all just a blur, which can only mean one thing- I wasted my week procrastinating yet again, when I should've at least attempted to open up a text book, let alone catch up with uni notes. Laaame
Well, one noted thing that wasn't a waste was the picnic on Friday with Hurlstone homies, going to the movies with Jo to see Alice in wonderland :D, and having dinner at MC's ...which I thought were the most productive things I've done ever since uni started, meaning I'm still on holiday mode eventhough the holidays were almost 2 months ago.
And speaking of uni, contrary to the popular belief, I actually quite like my course.
A couple of years ago, one of my closest friends sent me an email called "Instructions for life", and I remember reading "Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck." At the time, I thought this statement was quite ridiculous and contradictory. I mean, why would it be lucky if you didn't get something you wanted?
But now, I get it. I think this statement suits well with my current situation. (hopefully)
At this rate, I don't think I'll be considering (attempting) transferring into pharmacy next year at all.
That being said, it doesn't mean that I like uni. See, what I like about my course is actually just what I'm going to be doing when I graduate- the studying part of it is however, a major turn off. But I've always disliked studying in general anyways haha.
What I thought would have been good about uni is that it's a fresh change of environment, though it hasn't been particularly like that for me. I still feel like I'm entering a high school when I go into my campus, because it's so tiny. I somehow still manage to arrive late for my lectures though lol :P At least I wouldn't get bored during my long-winded 3-4 hour breaks, because I could always just walk right across the street and visit the cemetery. /sarcasm intended. Which reminds me, last week when it was really foggy in the morning, the cemetery was like a cut out scene from a thriller movie. It looked sooo spooky.
Something that has been somewhat positive about uni though, is the prospect of meeting new people. I don't know about you guys, but I usually feel excited yet daunted by the idea of making friends. I'm always afraid of rejection or that people will judge me based on first impressions. It sucks how prejudiced the world has become.
When you eventually do meet people who you can occasionally talk to, you get pulled into this feeling of accomplishment and kind of forget that there's going to be things you don't like about them, for me anyway. I almost think that they're perfect and that there won't be any conflicts in the friendship; and I almost always fall into this trap. I kind of temporarily put a blind eye to the annoying traits I see in the beginning, because it's not hard to brush off. After a while, when I become more attached to them, I start to see more good qualities about them and then the qualities I don't like and tried to ignore snap in.
And this is where the conflict begins. Recently, I realised that's where I'm at, with the people I've met at uni. I get annoyed, but I don't say anything, and it just continues. Maybe they're in the same position as well, I mean, obviously I have annoying traits too.
It makes me really miss high school and all the friends I've made before uni. It was so much... easier. And most of those friends already know me for me, and I can act more like myself around them. I'm hardly ever me at uni.
(I think I think too much ahaha)
It's okay. It usually doesn't take long for me to get pass this stage anyway.
Hope uni is treating you guys better than it has been treating me =)
Much love, Belly
