Time to go back to school ...
Sunday, January 3, 2010 / 7:25 PM

Where does the time go ? Now that I think about it, it has been a month since I gone to school and attend classes. Last day of class was December 7 and first day of class is January 4. I wish it was Christmas again. I wish I slept more and catch up on my sleep.
I really don't want to school, especially since I have longer classes this semester. AND, i have to take a science course and a computer course ... ewww. But yeah, I promise to attend all my classes, try to listen to the lectures and understand things as much as possible, instead of memorizing them. Yeah, memorizing math doesn't work too well especially in university.


PEACE.

"Albert Camus once wrote, "Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken." But I wonder if there's no breaking then there's no healing, and if there's no healing then there's no learning. And if there's no learning then there's no struggle. But the struggle is a part of life. So must all hearts be broken?" - Lucas Scott, One Tree Hill.

Today is the first day of 2010 and I am sitting here writing a post. I've been watching one of my favourite TV show, One Tree Hill, and it just got me thinking. Yeah, I spent part of the New Year watching the season I bought myself for Christmas. The episodes in season 5 really made me think about my life.

2010 is the year where I will be 19, the age where I am finally legalized to do everything, go clubbing, drinking alcohol, smoking, blah blah. But it never really hit me before in high school but it did now, since I am in university. People say that the 4 years of high schools are the best years of your life. The experiences and accomplishments that I achieved in high school made me become the person who I am today. But it never really made me see how scary reality is.

After watching a couple of episodes of One Tree Hill, it hit me hard that the real world is really scary because some people will succeed while others will fail. It made me realized that some will have to move far away in order to succeed their dreams and it frightens me because I don't want to lose anyone that are in my life right now. Right at this moment, I am satisfied with what I have and who is in my life. I mean, everyone wants to be successful. But we all can't have what we want. Success might come easy for some but not for all. While others will have to work their ways to success.

University is very big compared to high school. It is very different. Everyone is identify as a 9 digit number. No one cares about you, all they care about is getting themselves somewhere in life. There are thousands of people in university who are all trying to compete to get into medical school, teacher's college, law school, etc. But only 5 out of 1000 students get into medical school... that is a very very low percentage of getting accepted. It's scary because what if you don't get where you want to be. Does it mean you have to switch career path and work your way from the beginning again ?

I guess what I am trying to say is that I am afraid of failure and change. I am sure that we are all afraid of failing in life. I mean, without a good job, how are we going to survive in the real world? But what if you want to have a family? How are you going to raise your family with a job that pays your 10 bucks a hour? Think about it. Everyone wants to happiness, pleasures, love, comfort, peace, etc. I am not talking about those who don't want to work but I'm talking about those who do work hard to try to be successful. It's not fair to see someone fall after working so hard to try to get their dreams come true. This is why life is so unfair. But what can we do?



Can you meet me halfway?
