After so long..

Hey, I'm back after like a gazillion years. Haha, i can't keep up with this blog...dunno why i keep it! Anyway, since i'm here, I'm currently in SAJC and waiting (nervously) for the O level results (which are coming out on Monday)...don't know where I really want to go, though. SA is fun and I'm making so many new friends, BUT...will it offer me the education I need? My dad is so very against me going anywhere else but the top 5 JCs...the pressure is tremendous. He says he's embarrased to tell people that I'm in SAJC and he's extremely disappointed in me. He says to pursue a medical career because you earn a high income and get good recognition in society...even though I have no desire whatsoever to become a doctor. I can't make head or tail of it! Am I supposed to follow my dreams or live up to expectations because I love my parents so much?? I really don't want to disappoint them.
Apart from that, school actually rocks. True, I miss Crescent badly, but I'm coping well. Separation from a place you spent 4 years in, where you know everyone and where everyone knows you hurts...I miss all my friends. I have realised the multiple advantages of being in a girls school, but only after stepping into the co-ed JC, a tad too late. Firstly, you can do anything you like. (Eg: change in class, shout oneself hoarse abt girl things..) Secondly, you're equals. You don't have to feel the awkwardness during rough activities and be treated like the "weaker sex". Thirdly, you don't have to suffer crushes. I hate those things! They get me depressed and frustrated, so much so my friend actually said my temper has become short. I've gotten over the first one, but it's left me with a grudge against the person..that's how terrible things can become. I'm okay now tho, FYI. No more stupid nonsense anytime soon! (At least I'm trying) :D
Shall end here and go reflect on the day with a cup of hot choc. Hope I return soon!
