lesson #87: sun-kissed skin is a blessing only if your nose is not peeling

I'm so sad. I've bonded so well with my OG people, it's hard to imagine that starting from Monday, I will be seeing completely new people in my classes. It's just cruel to separate us... partly because I'm kinda lazy to make new friends because that's all I've been doing for the past month! Isn't it about time to settle down already? I'm just hoping that the people in my classes will be open-minded enough to make an effort in being friendly and not have this mindset that 'oh, I've already made friends with my OG people so I'll just ignore everybody in class'.


Anyway, had Convocation today. I had to be there (event was at Suntec ballrooms) at 8 am! Ohmigosh. I totally did not have enough sleep... During the speeches I was trying hard to open my eyes and not just nod off because the cameraman was right beside me. He was filming me and the rest of the people in my row the whole time - ack! I can see my face in the two big screens. I wish he'd just go away though, so I can loll my head back and snore away.


I thought I was never gonna say this but guess what - I enjoyed the camp. The bathing arrangement was sucky (portable showers) but it turned out not-so-bad as you get used to it. The sun was shining on us the whole time, but it was bearable. There are some things I found lacking in the camp though, one of them being the presence of cute guys. Call me shallow, superficial or stereotypical for always going on about cute guys but it's human nature to appreciate physical beauty.


After Convo today there was a 'rock concert' for the freshies. It's quite fun, like simulated clubbing without all the smoke, alcohol and extremely flattering dim lights. So we were just bopping along to the music. Eurhythmix (the SMU dance club) also performed. I SO wanna be one of the performers on stage! I have the stage itch! April and Dance Night seems a million years away... I can't wait to learn new routines, wear new costumes, perform in front of a different set of audience... Provided I can get through the audition, though. That is my biggest concern right now. Am I good enough?? I'm really afraid the answer's gonna be a big humongous NO. But what I saw today is pretty much my style of dancing so maybe I have a chance... fingers crossed!
