College Freshman

Last Friday, I went to my new college for orientation. You know, to introduce the A-Levels program I'm taking and make new friends. Boo! Making new friends is definitely not my area of expertise. I can get super anxious when talking to strangers. Really. I think I have a slight or maybe severe fear of strangers (Xenophobia). Sometimes I even break out in cold sweat because I'm too anxious. It's frustrating, but I just can't seem to overcome this. That's why other people need to initiate the first conversation with me, and not the other way round.

The funny thing is I can initiate the first conversation with strangers if only there is a friend beside me. It's like I gain confidence with my friend around me. It may sounds weird and funny, but hey this is me we're talking about :)

Now, come back to the orientation day that was held the other day. The orientation was good and fun, but I'm feeling sleepy during the event. I was hoping that I could at least make just one friend by the end of the day. It's like for the whole day, I keep thinking of how to make friends with the person sitting beside me. And after all that, I'm still alone without any friend at the end of the day. I think I'm destined to be a lonely soul =(

Next is about starting my college life. First of all, yay!! I'm a college freshman now ^_^ The lessons are fun and interesting. But my business studies' lecturer is a bit scary. How can he asked for an essay on the first lesson? My brain is almost rusty already and I didn't practice my essay writing for quite a while. So, I just simply wrote out anything that I can think of. Bad essay LOL. Other than that, I find Accounting is hard. Maybe I don't have the basic foundation about the subject, but I'll try harder. For me, Economics is the best! It's so interesting. =)

During these five days of college, I made some new friends. They are fun and outgoing. And yes, if you wonder who initiate the conversation, hmm...it's them. Luckily, they spoke to me first or else, I'll be forever alone...haha. One thing that I learnt from making friends in college is that the first conversation will always start with, "What year are you born?", "You are 199...?". Rarely people come and ask, "What is your name?". I find this quite interesting. The oldest student in my class are 21 or 22 years old. I don't really remember. >.<

What I'm doing now? I'm chatting with my friends on Facebook! There's Hon Yew and Hui Ling. Hon Yew said he just recovered after falling sick. Hmm...I hope that he get fully well by now.  ^_^ Chatting with Hon Yew is always interesting because we'll most probably end up with gossiping other people. We'll pair up some couples to gossip. See who gets lucky that day. For today, the couples are Shereen-Kok Zhen and Hui Ling-Unknown guy (Hon Yew wants to introduce one to her). Then, we'll continue to talk about some study stuff then some fairy tales story. It's all about our fantasy and imagination. And that always make my day! Feeling happy and rejuvenated. =) I'm always feel blessed having a good friend like him.
