Queen of the Understatement

Two days after my last entry. I suppose it's not that bad. Considering that I wrote in the LiveJournal account every day for almost a full year back in England, this isn't that bad at all... perhaps. I actually tried to connect earlier, but it won't. Then I shut the laptop and climbed on my bed, but I can't sleep. Well, won't really, because I was waiting for silly Seha to come back so I can sleep securely with the door locked. I mean, 1AM girl, get back here! But she didn't return, and as soon as I pressed the 'on' button for the laptop, that was when I heard the knock. Ah well.

So I'm here typing away, just like ol' times, I suppose. I promised I'd report how my MTC Digi assignment went, didn't I? Well, I can say that it went rather well. Our English replacement class was cancelled, so we had until 12PM to get everything done. Instead of the plan to trek up to the library at 10AM after class, we went there at 9AM and worked. But there wasn't much to add, and quite a lot of our classmates were there completing their own assignments as well, so yeah... it wasn't that bad. Added the acknowledgements and all, made sure the formatting is correct, then print, bind, ta da!

You know... if only this was a creative writing English class... hahaha. But unfortunately no, it was a law assignment, where I need to act mature and mature. *snort* Like I'm that sort of person. No, reaaally! SO like me to be mature hawhawhaw... call me mature, you don't know my true nature, buddy. Because I can be as silly as a cat high on biscuits. Anyway, yeah, my point is that while doing the acknowledgements (thanking our lecturer, friends, family, blah blah blah), I actually added one last paragraph of spot-on 80 words saying my thanks to Microsoft, probably Nescafe for Willson especially... tell you the truth, I'd have left it there if it was a creative writing assignment. xD The joys!

We got it in on time, then we had a law lecture to endure... and then a night class. Three other groups should have performed that night, but only two did. Willson's class didn't perform, due to him getting some sort of food poisoning (I think) and another one of his group mate, Haziq, not yet returning from whereever he went during the four-day off. Man... Yonder, please do not try to imagine how worried I was that night. Because I can guarentee it was ten times worse. xDD Food poisoning... ugh, it's so terrible. I kinda forced him not to go to class, like sheesh. Me + Very sick friend = Very worried Me. xD Queen of the understatement.

The sketch was... well, one was great, but the other one was downright awesome, I'm not joking. Syu's group and Wina's group. I managed to record all the whole 20 minute sketch of Syu's (haven't watched it yet though) but the battery died out before I could record Wina's. Which suuuucks. Wina was so awesome, so cute, so overly dramatic it put me down the list by 50%. There was one scene they did, starring my friend Lia, as she tried to abort her child.. she used Ribena as blood, and ugh. I screamed. No, dearies, I'm not joking, I really screamed. xD I screamed, and then I nearly threw up. It was so awful. I think our whole class won't be drinking Ribena for a while.

[Sketch buzz!]

After that, I went down for Silat. Oh, forgot to mention - yesterday I said I'd be skipping Silat, but 25 minutes before we were due to start class, I changed my clothes and went down anyway. I don't want to leave Silat if I could. I went down, and there was only three from my class who were there, which is a little... disappointing. But I got a lot of training done to say the least, so that's nice. But last night after class was great. Abang Shah, the "supervisor" or "trainer" for my class, announced that he would be leaving Kedah and head down to Selangor. Work purposes, I believe. And he ended up giving us the last three moves to finish the asas part of Silat. Hopefully, very very hopefully, we'll go to the next level of Silat soon. =D

Slept soon afterwards... and woke up for today. Again, a rather empty-ish day, I suppose. We had a test for English, which I finished under 10 minutes... it's supposed to last for an hour and a half. Hoho... I don't know what to say to that, but I was downright disappointed that I finished so early. I get the feeling that I screwed the paper if that happens, but who knows... hopefully, we'll get the marks soon. But yeah... it was only one class today. We were supposed to have a replacement law lecture tonight, but that got cancelled. I've actually got something else I wanna mention here.

Due to a problem that my senior roommate is currently having, I kinda went back to the dilemma that I've had for quite a long while now... I just haven't really mentioned it, I suppose. Thing is, I'm not sure I can continue with Law. I know I chose this in the first place - it was 100% my decision, and completely blew my family who thought I'd be persuing something like science (medicine in particular) or something like English, creative writing, all that jazz. But nooo... I surprised them with choosing Law instead. For aaaages, I completely went against the TESL course (Teaching English as a Secondary Language), but ironically, that's the course I'm thinking of persuing now. Funny how life works, eh?

I'm saying this because... well, Pre-Law has five subjects in it, as I've said many times before. Two English subjects, two Law subjects, one ICT subject. And I've noticed, as it went along with my passion, I look forward to English a heck of a lot more than Law. I wanted Creative Writing, but they don't really offer that much here in Malaysia. If I want to continue with my real passion of English, that's the course I need to take, and I know it. Right now... I see myself teaching. And it kinda hurts me because I remember Mr. Case saying the same thing to me miles back. He said that if I work, he sees me as a teacher one day.

Yonder would know this, and heck, DA and Mr. Case will understand this... but I really wouldn't like to leave Merbok if I could because of the friends I've made here. That's the source of the dilemma, really. If I haven't gotten any friends here, I'd for sure have signed out and take Pre-TESL. I think. I try not to think about this, but more and more, I find myself harder to imagine being anywhere close to the Law firm. No matter how I view it, I just... I don't know. I really, really don't know. I've talked to my mom about this, to my senior roommate, a handful of friends, and Willson... and in the end, they all, more or less, said that the decision is my call. Huh... like that helps.

I don't know. What I do know for sure is that at the moment, I promise I'll finish this semester if my life grants me that chance. Secondly, I'll talk to my parents when I go home about this, see what they think. Third and lastly, with all my heart, I wish I can keep Pre-Law before persuing whatever path I'll eventually decide to take. Let me keep Pre-Law, it's only three semesters, and they'll allow me to take the MUET exam next semester. I'll keep strong... let me recognise Law first, don't rush into things that will hurt me a lot.

Nothing else to report. Manchester United's going against Inter Milan in Old Trafford in... an hour and a half. Syu's "abang" told me that they'd win 2-0. I believe not. It'd be one goal above Milan if they win, no more, that I'm putting my best guess on.

Maisarah.
