"This is the official back to school post."

So I've officially "dropped in" today.
Well.
Nothing great about the first day,
Maybe because I only had one lecture.

Actually I felt kinda nervous.
Not the kind of nausea,
Usually associated with hatred of school,
When I was much younger.
But a brand-new feeling.
Not butterflies in my stomach.
I think maybe dragonflies.

Damn what's the difference?

I struggled to to wake up at noon,
And decided to leave the house early,
Because I didn't know where my classroom is.
What a loser.
Expectedly I was late.

I was so nervous,
I sounded the horn at the shuttle bus,
When I was just trying to cancel my turn signal.

Went to the Socie General office 3 times today.
First time:
"Excuse me,
Where is the Sociology Seminar room?"

Lecture was okay.
Actually it was so much more enjoyable,
Than twiddling my thumbs at the shop.
But then the lecturer sent out a warning at the end.
"It's a lot of work!
Don't take this if you cannot take it!"

Great.
I only registered for these few modules loh.
Cannot drop anything loh.

Went down to check out the renovated Library.
Excellent.
I feel like a freshie all over again.
Everything looks and feels different.
Everything IS different.
Considering that fact that I never knew my faculty,
Like the back of my hand,
I felt utterly lost and miserable.

In the end,
I decided to go harass the people at the Socie office again.
Turned out that there's also another clown besides me,
Who's from the year 2000 cohort as well.
I wonder who it is ha.

Feeling sian and lonely,
I rode down to Queensway for some kicks therapy.
Didn't buy anything,
Cos I realized I can't afford to buy a pair every other month.
Not when I'm no longer getting a paycheck.

Bought the latest issue of Sneakerfreaker though.

I think I'll be damn busy this whole year.
I'm kinda happy with my current status now,
But I hate handling the pressure of school life alone.
