Nondescript

The moment I had to get up at 6am just to get ready for college, beginning this Monday, I was as if rooted in a nondescript world. The painfully dull lectures made worse by some lecturers with questionable teaching skills were a delightful yawn – my lack of sleep kept pulling my eyelids shut like a window blind as I struggled ravenously to keep myself awake. And when I got home, a short nap was necessary to recharge my batteries, and nights were devoted to doing homework, with very minimal time – if none at all – spent playing my DS or even DotA. It was worse than my previous semesters and at the rate that I’m doing my homework, I was doing twice more work in a week in college than an entire month at my high school.

In fact on Monday morning, I knew that at some point I would fall asleep in class, so I distanced myself from my acquaintances, chose the last row, sat at the last seat, and let the lull began.. only to be rudely awakened when my handphone accidentally went off as I forgot to switch it to silent mode in the heady daze of my sleepiness.

And every Wednesdays were the worst day of the week as I have classes from 8am to 3pm non-stop, meaning absolutely no break in between, and I had to utilise whatever free time available from lecturers letting us off early to eat.

Funny that as I type, three days have quickly gone by without much ado and stupefying events, compared to the amount of fun that was had in the three days I went out with my friends for Chinese New Year. It’s another dreary routine – the bleak, predictability of it all was as exciting as a cockroach’s life, and reminiscing my previous nearly month long backpacking trip, especially when I was having blissful fun doing nothing for 6 days at Vang Vieng, Laos, doesn’t exactly help plant colours and confetti into my current life.

I know that I’ve mentioned this before, but at one point recently, my desire to quit college peaked as I found the current stuffs I’m doing get increasingly meaningless. I know I’m not exactly earning points from prospective employers if I tell them that the reason why I’m studying my current Economics & Finance course was partly because it was one of the easiest courses – at least I think it is – to graduate from.

My interests have always been lingering around writing and languages – both, from my rough understanding and shallow research, earn you peanuts. Although being polyglot could definitely get you around somewhere..

Although platonic, the only breather I could get thus far, and make my week less greyer, is my first Valentine’s date tomorrow. =)
