jon goes to army.
Jon went into the army a few hours back. I promised to pray for him while he's in there, and I really pray that God will continue to watch over him every minute of the day no matter what he's doing, whether sleeping, running, in the gym, doing stupid marching drills, going into the forest to do more army exercises... I pray that he'll be free from harm and that he'll also find good company to mix around with, people that he can depend on throughout the three weeks in BMT. :) And if Jon's ever reading this, thank you for the inheritance of the 'taboo cards' if ever something happens to you, but I think I should inherit it anyway regardless. LOL. You got your own special one taboo card already, and I think that's enough to last you the next two years. *laughs*
I've been in school for about seven weeks already, and it still feels slightly surreal although I'm getting used to the monotonous drone of things every week. I take five modules, out of which I'm lost in three of them. SIGH. I simply cannot understand IT and computer crap, and plus my favourite Korean professor decided to return to Korea this week, and so we're left with this guy with a distinct Singaporean-Chinese accent who decides to slang at every opportunity he gets. For goodness's sakes, he goes "liraeeelllly" instead of "literally", "speg-ta-gers" instead of "spectacles", and "a piss of paper" instead of "a piece of paper". I'm trying to control my laughter every lesson, and his geeky demeanour does not help either. My speech and presentation class is the worst thing in the world. I dread that class every single week when we have to give a speech, and it does not help that the teacher (I won't even label him a professor!) is the most uncredible grader in the entire universe. I miss secondary school days, and even kinda miss junior college, even though now I don't need to do any semblance of math or economics or science, but still.
In University, it's like everyone's suddenly grown up so much. We're doing projects that involve entire communities of people outside the school, and the stuff we talk about in my Journalism and Publishing course is way beyond what I'm used to, it really truly insults my intelligence because I know nothing. I need to read more, study harder and to just let God guide me to make it through the next four years. Or I'll really fall hard.
OUCH.
