Summer School. Not a Waste of Time. At all. Course Management is kinda spastic. Gives wrong info and shit abt Clayton transfer. Just like lecturers. Who miss the blatantly obvious facts sometimes.

Been chatting alot with couple of friends lately and numerous interesting issues have cropped up. One of em is the issue of saying goodbye to friends. Of course personally, I'd want to have some friends FOR LIFE, but reality states that this is probably gonna be impossible. Over the years, not all our friends are gonna tread the same path we do, and do the same things we do. Each has his/her own life to live, one we may not be destined to be a part of. Parting ways and saying goodbye is gonna be hard and painful, especially with those we are really close with. So is it logical that we conciously not be so close with them, to ease the pain when the day arrives where we bid our goodbyes and never see em again? Probably not. But its just food for thought. One fren's had alot of pain to deal with of late. Having to say goodbye to her boyfren AND girlfren (close girl fren) back to back. Double blow.

Being nice to others has always been an issue for alot of ppl, and it has been especially for me. Of course, kindness should be unconditional, like parents' love to their children. BUT, being nice starts coming at a price once people take advantage of it. So next time you contemplate on whether or not to be nice to someone, just ponder and think if that person would do the same for you- if that person would do that same nice deed for you. If you think yes, then do it. If not, then render your kindness elsewhere. It may seem selfish and calculative, but theres really no fun being trampled on and taken advantage of. People will start saying yr selfish, a bitch and etc, but u can never shut ppl up can you-they are alwaes gonna talk. You can't stop them from doing so. Most ppl will only remember that 1 time you screwed up, and forget the other 99 times u were there, and use that 1 time to define you. That aint the way it ought to be, but sadly it is. When Life beats you down, you gotta get back up and take a stand for yourself.

Pretty good I might say. Lol.

Holidays so far have, probably due to lack of activity, triggered lots of rumination and introspection about alot of things, especially the way things are gonna be next sem in March. Some things have already been made clear during the hols. Summer School is actually a blessing in disguise. Too bad I don't usually get blessings. Not even when I sneeze.
