reflections on the year
It's nearing the end of the year, just 2 more days of official school left! (let's just ignore pw) haha I'd like to say that it's been an experience being in my class, full of people with really different characters from what i've been used to so far. This year's been quite tumultous for me. Coming from a single sex school, with little to no contact with the male species except my dad, for 10 years i might add, it was like being thrown into the deep end at first. Even though there was a slight introductory exposure to coed living, thanks lots to taiwan immersion, except we hung more with the ac ge people so ri people still seemed alien at first. hehe.
But i've realised that we are all human and more or less the same (and not alien beings) :P so it's cool. And i guess most people experienced the same problems too. I must confess that i didn't dare talk or joke around with guys because they all seemed so strange and different in the beginning... haha when i'm uncomfortable, i tend to isolate myself, and ignore the causes of the problem, especially with regards to social situations. Running away from problems is bad, but sometimes it's the only thing you can think to do at a certain point in time. I really miss having a best friend or two to hang out with all the time in class, those people you know will be there for you when you need it or people to have fun with or just go out. I've been part of a trio for 3 out of the 4 years of my RG life and truthfully, i miss that the most being in this class. As i've often been enlightened to, i'm not the only one facing that problem in class :) but that doesn't change the way i feel! It's common knowledge that we can't go looking for best friends but people just need to try... sometimes we fail, but it's better than sitting around...hopefully, otherwise you can take a break and just wait around when you get tired.
i want to be more extroverted! this was meant to be a post on my class blog until i got all reflection-ish and off the point. Hence i haven't really reflected on the year. except wrt people-people dynamics of a sort. in a nutshell, girl-girl or guy-guy friendships are much simpler than guy-girl friendships due to environmental concerns. we all need to go white.
uhoh. writer's block haha i can't think of what more to write. shall continue later if and when i'm out of things to do!
