First Week of School, and A Big Decision
The first week of school has just zoomed past like that. Went for the FASS Prize Presentation Ceremony yesterday, and finally received my Dean's List certificate. Was there together with reuben, bingde, remy, and tianhao, and eventhough we kept joking that we wanted to see each other again there next year, either to take more photographs or to get another chance at the good food, deep within we all know that we really wanna do well again so that we can get another taste of the ceremony next year. Looking back, it may have been a brief ceremony, but it has been perhaps one of my best and biggest achievements in academic terms. Never have I done well in my academics, and never have I ever had the chance to be in a ceremony, and be acknowledged together with the best. Then again, doing well for only one sem is not enough, and I really need to buck up to continue this lucky spree of mine.
This week has been rather relaxing, in terms of studies. Most lectures just consisted of introductory lectures, and there was really nothing heavy. However, when tutorials come in, all hell will break loose again. Initially I didn't feel all that good about my modules this semester, but looking at them again, and also comparing the modules my other friends are juggling, I think its not all that bad.
Still within this week, I also made a very important decision, and that is of not re-running. I really wanna thank everyone who believed in me, but I am really sorry that I would have to disappoint. Thanks also to many, especially hock and reuben, who took time off to speak to me so that I could have a bigger picture of everything, and so that I could think out of what my individual perspective may have allowed. However, as I said many times, there are many reasons and concerns which till today still hold valid, and I will not be re-running. My decision was re-assured when I spoke to my girlfriend the other night about this. Just a simple "you won't change your decision right?" was enough for me to really know what I want.
I know some people may still disagree with my decision, and find that my concerns are not strong enough to trigger this decision of mine, but I will not try to explain to everyone, as not everyone will really understand. I won't deny that I may regret this decision in the future, I won't deny that I have been really fortunate to be given this once in a lifetime opportunity, but my decision has to be made now, and everything points to a 'no'. Very simply, sorry to those whom I may have let down in one way or another, and a big thank you to those who really understand.
And yes, to top it all of, just within this one week, I have again seen friendships turn even more sour, and impressions between one another change for the worse. I know its not very fair of me to say this, but all this again, was a result of issues pertaining to MC. Really had enough of all these.
