I am a student, not the convectional kind

Yea, i know i have chosen to follow this path, to return to full student life. I have not regretted it. Never.

It is just kind of funny, what student's life meant to me, and to others. People envied me for being able to become a student once again. I've never once doubt their envy, coz i've been through what they have, and working life is not exactly fun.

I am a student. But not the normal kind.

A student attends classes in the day, hangs out with friends after that, discuss projects, tutorials and exams together, gossip about that hot bod or cool dude, receives allowance from dad and works part-time at the local bookstore.

I, on the other hand, attends classes at night, most of my schoolmates are working in the day, thus i don't have people to hang out with or study with me, i don't receive allowance from my parents and i'm not working part-time either.

So, i don't feel like the conventional student. Sometimes, i really wished i studied in SIM instead, i may not feel so lonely and lack of support.

But still, the conclusion is that, i don't feel like what a student should feel. And people (especially those around me) kept misunderstanding that, since you study only at night, why can't you do something in the day (work)? Its not as simple as you think okie!? All the work, readings and assignments and no one to share. (I guess its difficult when those who probably share your burdens are your schoolmates and to most of them, school is secondary to them while they have other commitment like work and family). And somehow, to those who were fulltime students like me (i can count 3 others only!), we somehow don't have the culture to want to do work together, probably due to the nature of our coursework, which is pretty individual...

I am a misunderstood soul.

But its okie, i'm usually fine after a little whining and complaining.

Okie, now for some happy news! My trip to San Francisco is confirmed! 25 June to 13 July! Woohoo~! I so look forward to it! See you Vincent brother!
