one thing's for sure, we will definitely be racing against time once again. this term looks set to be a hectic term. i've taken on TA-ship and quite alot of other stuff i had wanted to do but was afraid i wont have time to do. this term, im gonna make time for them. afterall, there is no end to work and letting work define my life is a poor excuse for living. and we got to plan our own timetables this sem, so it shld be easier to make things work my way. all afternoon classes for me. i managed to get my perfect timetable, but it cost me :p im poor in edollars now lol.
whenever i talk to the freshmen, i see their hopeful smiles, hear their tentative laughter, and i wonder how they will be when they are in my position. tired? disillusioned? or will they be joyful at finally finding their path in life and being free to walk it? now they are excited and worried about their new life. can they still be excited when they are living their new life? they greet everything with a sense of wonder, much like a child who is seeing everything for the first time. they enter the gantries with looks of amazement, they wander the concourse with wondrous expressions, taking everything in for the first time. when did we lose our innocence? do we use our cynicism as masks, to help us get thru the years?
so many questions, but the answer only comes with hindsight.
in the meantime, all we can know is that we want to do this, for whatever personal reasons we have, so we'll work our asses off, laugh and play when we can, and never forget the people working their asses off alongside us. at the end of it, our friends might be all we have to show for these 4 years.
so we'll see how this term pans out. i'll bid goodbye to summer with a heavy heart when the 17 of august looms. one can never have too much of a good thing :p
let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
let her sing, if it eases all her pain
let her go, let her walk right out on me
and if the sun comes up tomorrow
let her be, let her be.
