It's a week before the O-week (Orientation week) here in my university, and all sort of introductory courses started. So the university is filled with 1st year students again. Argh!
Just a look at all those young enthusiastic faces, all so excited about starting university, and here I am, in my... (hang on.. counting...) 8th year in uni, and I get to sit around in my office while they go around, excited to see old friends in uni and taking up seats in the Starbucks. (Seriously, we never had problems trying to find seats in Starbucks! But then maybe I'm thinking of the good old times when the undergrads were away...)
I don't know why most postgrad despise younguns. But I found myself doing a bit of that too. I don't know whether it's because they made it impossible for me to just go to the cafe to buy my sushis without lining up for a good half hour, the fact that they made the university TOO lively again (some of us are stuck in the office all day you know...), or just that fact that it reminded us how we were once just like them, and how, 8 years later, we're still here. *sigh*
In a happier note: we finally moved into our new house last week! :) Still no internet yet, and still have boxes everywhere waiting to be unpacked and put away. But it's so good at have our personal space. :) (I think both of us found it a bit stressful to live at home right now too.) Now we just need to finish unpacking and actually learn to cook. :P
Hopefully I'll stop being bitter at some stage. :) I think after I have my lunch and maybe a coffee or two I'll be happy again. Well, and getting some work done. *sigh*
