this is another word vomit kindly proceed with caution

i hate to admit this but my first week of uni surpassed my expectations by a mile. i think it has a lot to do with orientation and camp (which i begrudgingly admit again that they have helped me make friends). the people and environment are far from what i had deemed as intimidating, contrary to the many horror stories ive heard about university life. the female to male student ratio is also more balanced as compared to that in poly, where the female population outnumbered the male by the heap. not to mention, the guys here are much better looking. experiencing all this makes me regret having subscribed to such pessimism towards school.

i’m majoring in english, can you believe it! im so glad moe doesn’t keep tabs on what and how i blog, or else they would have long removed me from this course lol. im learning really boring and dry stuff this sem tho, like grammar and study of language. i think i need xanax to last till november. and i can say this with 100% finality: im minoring in drama! oh god the things they put me through just for this. i personally had to draw up countless emails on my end (appeals, queries, subtle threats, plain begging) but im so so grateful for my drama profs for fighting for my place as well. I swear ive never felt more alive at 830am on a rainy morning doing chekov’s four principles of dramatic movement. the curriculum is Shakespeare-centric as usual, but im stoked to learn more about western theatre as well.

i haven’t attended much but from the lectures and tuts ive been to I realise that university adopts a more autonomous learning process. its also nice that profs are less formal about their assignment structures but i guess the humanities take on a more subjective approach to assessments. Im also immensely thankful for increased word counts bc im a long winded person at best and 1000 words is simply not enough for me to derive my point in any research paper ever

it was a miraculous feat that I managed to make friends over the course of orientation. im going to be stuck with a group of people for the next 9 months so I figured that I should hide my fangs first. but theyre crazy people. my kind of people. foc was terrible as expected but the company I gained transcended my bitter feelings towards camp as a whole. and ive heard of boys coming out of ns as guys but no one warned me that they also transform into kings of sass. I cant even lie about it. I was severely outwitted 10 to zilch at dinner yesterday. that being said, i still maintain that my IQ is above 100. However, in essence they’re nice people. but that doesn’t mean to say that I don’t miss CASS’ hyped up atmosphere. its not all that fun when you’re the only high one 24/7 lol

this has been another word vomit
