Disillusioned?
Chinese A levels are finally OVER!!!
One more week from OP.... Current state of mind: Disillusioned....? Frankly, the aftermath of Chinese "A"s has not been one of euphoria....but rather the feeling of sorrow... It has been a dream for me to finish Chinese once and for all, and burn my Chinese books with glee...yet when it really did end, I felt a sense of loss instead....all the years of learning this seemingly foreign language has finally come to an abrupt end. Suddenly, I have the sudden urge to learn Chinese songs...emo ones too.... Never mind that, as for today, we had OP practice AGAIN! Haha, actually, we spent like most of the time planning our skit for tomorrow. After like eons, we had lunch at Pizza Hut to celebrate Melissa's birthday. After that, the whole late afternoon was spent at Marine Parade library... reading Stephen King Dark Tower novels... haiz....the best of quiet ambiance and good books! :P Man, hopefully my days will get more fun and longer. (Longer days = Longer holidays?) Haha W.Q. P.S. - All the best for OP! Labels: disillusioned |
