T.G.I Fridays (not)

Google-d

Today was the longest day ever. Classes from 8 to 5 with only an hour break in between is the perfect recipe for headache. Thus with the uber long day, ended my first week as a 3rd year-ian (I created that word). And so far its been interesting to say the least. A lot of familiar faces have left, lecturers i mean. And a few new additions. And all the lecturers come in saying that your not very far from your final year and from graduating. Yes we know. and not particularly looking forward to it either. *shudder. It's scary enough to think that my last public exam was 5 years ago. 5!! *dramatic faint. Shedding my lifelong identity as a student is gonna be a pain in the ass.

Sometimes it makes me wonder, what if i did not end up here learning how to make drugs that goes to both your front and rear; and to nod emphatically at patients or to look interested when the lecturer seems to be talking Greek (ok, they didn't teach that, that's a skill that i perfected in this past two years :), and it comes in real handy) What if instead of all this, i was in public Uni? I did get offered a seat in UiTM, which is all the way down south, to do civil engineering. WOW, just think about that, i would be having a lot of bumiputera friends and who knows i might also have made a trip to Singapore. Exciting prospect isn't it?

Another option would be me flying off to Australia for my tertiary education. It has always been my dream to study abroad. Back then i never imagined that i would actually drive to my uni for the 1st 1 and half year. In my dreams i always imagined a two bed room, with an awesome roomie and a view off the ocean. A little far fetched, but, hey its dream. If i could have somehow had a peek at the future then i would have brushed it off as a nightmare, because that's how much i wanted to fly away from the coop.

So with dreams shattered and the unknown a perplexing entity, all I am left with is the 'NOW'. Present as the optimist calls it. And guess what? I am enjoying the present. I might have had a awesome time in Australia but i could also have had a nervous breakdown and flew back to Malaysia the 2nd day of class. or i could have had a smexy Australian boyfriend before he went off to tame Miley Cyrus leaving my heart all broken. Who knows? exactly. Who knows? But one I know for sure is I wouldn't trade this crazy bunch of friends for anything.

Maybe for the Australian boyfriend, i might have a second thought. *winks
