First of all, I need to apologise to my blog, for “abandoning” it for some time. It’s not that I did it on purpose, it umm just happened. It’ll never happen again! I can’t promise via typing because that should be done using words. Phew, I feel much better now. OK, enough about my blog. I’ve just completed my first semester in college, and there are a few things that I’ve discovered about myself during this time.

annoying rules that get on your nerves(which also catalyzes the production of “funny” signals in your brain that makes one act in a “funny” way)
As far as I’m concern ,these rules are made by some person suffering from an incurable type of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Besides it only serves to provoke me. I hate obeying rules. Especially ones that don’t really make sense.The rules here are less restricting and that suits me just fine because rules are meant to be broken anyway ; )
I can wear my hair as I please (yup,even the messy,outta bed look) and not worry about the discipline teacher or have prefects fine me.Not that I ever settled the outstanding “summons”,but that’s a different story. Actually,I wouldn’t mind paying up if all the money collected was eventually donated to some charity fund. But instead, it is used to finance the prefects’ end of the year party. So forget it!

my sense of direction(or lack thereof)
I’ve never really realized that my sense of direction was that bad. To be honest, I did suspect something was amiss when I started driving. But getting lost in college after 3 months being there…that’s just mystifying! Honestly, walking into the wrong class isn’t
amusing. It’s mortifying! But try telling my friends that. They think it’s hilarious!
I really need to figure out why this is happening to ONLY me!

boarding the wrong bus
This is a long,long,long story. Lets just say that what was supposed to be a 20 minute ride became a 2 hour one. I wonder if this is in any way connected to my bad sense of direction…..

multi-tasking
Seriously,with only 24 hours in a day,one needs to multi-task.
Completing my assignment while chatting while listening to music while tying to figure what CD to play next while texting my friend, that has become a routine.

In the mornings its-taking my breakfast while combing my hair while listening to the radio while packing my bags while trying to think if I’ve completed my assignments while searching for my room keys.
Alright, that’s a little exaggerated. It’s not literally “multi-tasking”,but I assure you that all of those things are done in a very short time.





my issue with the rain
I do my laundry by myself (unlike some people I know). So I find it absolutely disrespectful for the rain to come crashing down on it. There are no words to describe the sight of your 75% dried clothes getting soaked in the rain. No,wait,there is a word….horrifying. My advice is, NEVER be fooled by the weather-girl’s, innocent voice. (same goes if she’s a guy)
The good thing is, my weather predicting skills have gotten better. On days I don’t hang out my clothes to dry that is.

microscopes don’t really find me hot
Everything was going fine. My paramecium looked umm, ”luminous” under the microscope. It was such a joy to watch it. The kinda joy parents’ feel when their baby starts to walk. When I was about to draw “it”, “it” decided to go for a stroll in lala-land.
Luckily my friend let me use her amoeba and I managed to hand in my report on time. My paramecium was way cuter though.

Frisbee
I never knew that there was a sport involving Frisbees where the players were all humans.
It’s fun to play. But it would have been even more enjoyable if the frisbee didn’t always sway 90 degrees off the person I’m supposed to throw it to.Wonder if this is in anyway related to my bad sense of directon……..
