And so, I graduated from St Andrew's Junior College on the 9th of October 2008 (well, technically speaking).

Yes, Farewell Assembly was held on Thursday. 


I know it is a mere facade because after all, I still have to come back to school for Econs/ Lit/ Maths/ Geog lectures/ consultations/ mock exams and whatnot but truth be told - notwithstanding my reticent nature - I kind of miss SAJC already.

Reading Quek's entry dated 11 Oct 2008 activated the nostalgia mode of mine: o7A06, the name that is redolent of the good ol' days. Looking through the archive of my class blog, I began to miss the tintinnabulation of the College bell at 7:30am (being a dilatory student myself, I often heard the bell as I ran to make it just in time for assembly), the oh-so-contrived morning prayers (with all due respect, nevertheless; I just cannot force myself to pray when everyone around me is yawning, chattering, etc) and most importantly, the company (:




The card I made for my classmates

Aargh, A-levels is such a Catch-22. I want to sit for it, yet at the same time I wonder if I should have taken the SAT after my O-levels instead. 

Now, I simply cannot find the right words, despite knowing I should not bother about stuff ca ne fait rien. I know I am not as blithe so as to want to prolong this period of time just before the A's because I really want to get over it. Nevertheless, with the amount of studying I have to do, at times I do wish I had some extra time, for it would make a huge difference.

Disappointed? Somewhat. I am so, so disappointed with myself for letting my studies to degenerate to such a pathetic state. Moreover, the inertia is too great for me to actually overcome.

Anyway, I end this post, signing it off as a proud Saint - as I will always be...



Once a Saint, always a Saint,



Perd.
