Yay/Ugh

Lizard has been complaining that I haven’t updated for 10 days, but I’m currently writing a very meaningful post which requires thinking and time! So this is just a filler.

Well, I just realized that I haven’t spoken about my experience at SAJC. One thing I didn’t expect was meeting so many people who looked like people in TK. My OGL had an uncanny resemblance to my ex, so looking at him felt very odd. One guy in my OG looked like a jerk [I shan't name who] in TK, but fortunately this guy’s a million times nicer, and loads more. It was like in the twilight zone.

Fortunately I met some super duper nice people in my OG (OG2).
I wasn’t aware of how nice they were until I got grouped into my class, because frankly, there are some class bitches. Here’s one experience:

My new found friend, Priscilla (hi!!) and I were looking for our form teacher who asked the class to meet her at one of the blocks after class. Unfortunately, being SAJC-noobs, we got lost so we missed the talk. We managed to bump into a 2 or 3 of our classmates, so this is how it went.

Me: Hey, you guys are our classmates, right?

Cold Hard Bitch 1 (CHB 1): *lifts handphone, ignores me and walks off*

Cold Hard Bitch 2 (CHB 2): Um, yah.

Me: What did the teacher say?

CHB 2: She’s still there. *points*

Sigh. How?

What I couldn’t believe was what CHB 1 did. I understand if you’re about to call someone so you won’t be able to talk to me, but at least acknowledge me? No glance, no acknowledgment, nothing. This is the first time I’ve ever spoken to someone and got so incredibly ignored. She literally treated me like a ghost.

Maybe I’m overreacting, but I thought it was bloody rude of her to not even look at the person who’s talking to her.
Of course, a lot of bitchy remarks sprung to my mind, like, “What, not pretty enough for you to speak to issit?” etc. Haha. I think that made me realize how friendly the people were in OG2

So.. I’m stuck with a shitty class.
I miss OG2 :( Fortunately most people in the OG seem to hate their classes too so we’re still sticking together, for now at least.

I’m also feeling very exasperated with people who keep dissing the Arts stream in my face, as if Arts students chose to do Arts because they had no choice, which in fact is the total opposite. It’s a known fact that every JC has more Science classes than Arts classes, but I didn’t really feel the impact until I actually stepped into a JC. The ratio of Science to Arts classes was like, 4:1, so I was pretty shocked I guess.

One more time someone tells me Science > Arts, I’m gonna slap his/her face.

I’m also pretty happy with Literature because we’re studying the interesting books (Othello! Brave New World! 1984! etc), not stuff like “Fistful of Colours” (Alamak!) The other subjects seem pretty alright too, I’m not too sure about Econs though. I have a feeling that it’s gonna be one of those subjects which I’ll stab my pen at, but we’ll see.
