I say important stuff, no one listen. They say rubbish, everyone treat as gold. Seriously, no matter which clique I go with, the same thing happens. Maybe I should just unclique myself.

First time blogging from my S4! Haha so excited. Can't sleep because my mind is too cluttered again and I decided to pen my thoughts down.

I remembered when I was young, I kept telling others that I will study what interest me and not what will earn me money. I will find a career that I have passion in rather than just finding a job that will give me good pay. In the end, I took triple science in sec school and H2 biology in jc due to pressure from my elders. Then I went into chemical engineering because of future job prospects. To be honest, I am rather disgusted by myself for making such a choice. I don't enjoy it and my results are being negatively affected. I failed to secure a spot for SEP and because of engin club, I can't go for summer school! And due to reservist, winter school is also out of the point. My jc classmates actually felt that I would be more suitable to take accountancy instead. But I can only suck it up.

Looking at all the photos posted by people on exchange, I get super jealous. Not only jealous, I am also really mad at myself for not working hard enough to get better grades. I guess I only have myself to blame.

So I crashed Engin Camp and ChESS Camp. As a Year 3 laojiao, I can feel the lethargy after doing one long cheer or even trying to participate in the games! I think most of the time I am just finding loopholes to the games so that my OG can win. And to be honest, I suspect for both camps, my OG has the most points, but both camp comms decided to abolish the best OG. Meh.

Anyway, results came out. And obviously, I didn't do as well as expected again. I guess I have to get used to this. In uni, nothing ever reaches your expectations. It's like I should lower my expectations next time to prevent myself from being so sad. My CAP is like 1.0 grade lower than expected. But I guess I have nothing to complain about if I didn't put in enough effort to ensure myself a good grade. Sometimes I get really jealous of my friends who consistently get results above 4.0 every semester. All I can do is just llst.

And Jason just came back from his 9-month SEP/holiday. And boy, am I jealous. Sometimes I wish I could redo my uni life so that I have the chance to go for SEP too. However, the money people spend on SEP is no joke. They can easily spend up to 5 digits for a 4 month exchange. I don't even dare to ask Jason how much he spent in total.

With that, June is almost over! Spend your holidays to the fullest guys! Don't be like me, wasting the holidays on Maple and useless school stuff. Last summer was way more enriching, joining never-ending camps.
