My team was in the soccer semifinals today, which was surprising because it seemed like we lost a lot of our matches. Anyhow I didn't play because I had the flu, but we lost 6-1. I realised that much of a person can be said from sports. The winning team were passing taunting comments during the match, as we continued down our path to demise, while on our side, tempers flared, and tantrums thrown. Speaks a lot about our maturity as university students, and even more as guys.
Library was packed today, and getting a table was like looking for a parking lot in orchard road on a Saturday night. Most of the students who were there weren't 1st years, which got me wondering where all the first years had gone? Did they think SWAT VAC (study week), was a holiday? Or is there some secret lecture, or secret studying hideout I'm not aware of. Where have all the first years gone? I think I'm developing a terrible illness. If it's not pressure that people around are studying too hard, it's worry that people around are not studying hard enough. Why do I care? Maybe it's after I saw the cohorts results and realised that there was a student who got a perfect score for econs.
Speaking of which, the cohort scores came out a few days ago, and as I skimmed through, my eyes could not help but just notice all the scores higher than me, and it felt like a lot. Stupid Singapore mentality to always have to be on top.
