A fresh year

I love entering into a new year. Christmas and New Year’s for me is a good excuse to party and catch up with friends. I love the festive food too, like turkey and wine (delicious).

For me, this new year is special because JC life is over and done with. I suppose one thing I learnt from two years of pre-u education is that one’s rewards are often proportional to the effort one puts in to something. You reap what you sow. I mean, SAJC wasn’t a particularly good school, but I really enjoyed the time I spent there. I suppose a large part of that is because I wanted to be there in the first place. As a result, I’d stubbornly see the good in everything, even when lectures were plain dull and when lessons weren’t any better. Which isn’t a bad thing, because it made school life very much more enjoyable. On the other hand, I certainly didn’t consider CCA part of “school” and happily skipped every CCA session I could. Consequently, I’m rather envious of people who have close friends from their CCAs. Like the rugby guys or the soccer girls. I’m guessing the reason they’re so close to each other is because toiling and training together after school though thoroughly exhausted and brain-dead from a day of books builds strong friendships.

Which shows it’s always good to give one’s best. Hopefully that’s something I’ll take into the new year. Anyway, readers, have a wonderful 2010. :)
