heh ok...i'm really suppose to be working on my paper..but man it's friday nite! everyone deserves a break now and then rite? heh. anyway, i'm mildly amused by how pple in my honors class take off every now and then to just get away from it all, to retreat, to take a break, to take a time out now and then when they need to. haha pple always say social workers burn out really easily if they don't take care of themselves. but obviously my class seems to be taking very proactive steps to make sure tt doesn't happen before we even enter the field. heh and i think it's neat.
i like the concept of self-care and the room that our lecturers allow us to do so with no questions asked. they don't take attendance coz they obviously think we're old enough to make our decisions and when they do ask who's not ard, it's always to make sure we keep notes for them. guess they all know tt we're pretty much drowning under the mad amount of work so they close two eyes when we aren't there. or when we're there but not there. haha like how most of us usually are just totally out of it during dr ngiam's 4-7pm class on fridays. heh take today for example...after the break, we passed round stickers which got everyone oooh-ing and aaah-ing for some strange reason..haha they were pretty tho i must say...had our little conversations going all ard class...had a ton of food passing round and round as usual with the usual few pple eating dinner at the back...haha so yah...i like going for class. its comforting to know tt everyone struggles with u, tt no one has started writing our paper tt's due on tues, tt most of us haven't watched movies in a long time, tt most of us aren't ready for our thesis presentations, and yah..haha tt we're pretty much all in the same boat or struggling to stay afloat.
oh! and we kicked off angel&mortal today. haha i think it'll be hilarious. i think kenny and gerard really do a fantastic job pulling the class together :) they even got us sept and oct babies a huge cake last fri. haha. so i think for the first time in uni, i actually enjoy and look forward to school. i think tt school isn't school until ur in a class. heh. i do wonder tho if a chindia equivalent will emerge from this class. that would be nice :)
heh oh and i thot i shd add an impt disclaimer at this pt, that i'm not advocating tt u guys who're in sec sch/jc to skip class or do stuff tt's mentioned above coz u probably will get into trouble. haha
and eunice ends here :
