three more
After what seemed to be the longest wait ever, the exams are finally over! Yay to that. Never been a fan of exams (I like studying but not the assessment part), I felt quite a sense of relief (other than extreme worry for messing up a few questions) as we exited the exam hall.
But not long after, as I was driving through the endless stretch of PIE, I felt a little sad that we are just 3 semesters away from our eventual graduation. Time was passing just too fast. Don't get me wrong. I'm much looking forward to my eventual teaching career but I guess I'm quite a sentimentalist. I'll miss most the great company that I have in school. All the familiar faces that have been part of my life. Even the ones that I barely know of and never spoken at length to before. Their presence brings much comfort to me.
I realise that although we spend a lot of time physically in school but it's more like a Hi-Bye affair. Very touch and go. One can't help but feel rather transient. There seem to be a great longing to quickly board the 199 bus and whisk away, off from Boon Lay.
Somehow, it feels a little hollow.
So before this three semesters end, maybe I'll take my time while in school.
Maybe I'll start looking at the same old LT a little bit differently.
Maybe I'll look at the V shaped rows of trees with a little less taken-for-grantedness.
And try to remember and recollect a little more.
Time seems to pass so fast.
