The dream has faded away, and reality is my new nightmare

Well, it turns out that some of the OG10 orientees have found my blog (yes, crazy people have blogs too), so "Hey guys!" :) so anyway, i have to say that you guys really opened up during the remainder of Genesis since my last post, which is awesome of course. i hope Genesis was as much fun for you guys as it was for us OGLs to prepare. orientation is truly a momentous occasion for anyone entering JC life, so i hope we managed to help you guys start off with a bang. hopefully you guys will still keep in touch even after you are split up into your respective classes, cos OG10 is after all one of the first groups of people that most of you would have met when stepping into NJC. say "hi" to each other as you pass by, perhaps have a little chat while you're at it, because you should never underestimate the uplifting effects of a simple smile and wave. and maybe i'll come back to NJC this time next year and see that us "old people" have inspired some of you to become OGLs yourselves :)

and i dont think i've been as high as i was during the dance party on the last night of Genesis. even managed to pluck the drunken courage (metaphorically of course - im underage and anti-alcohol) to go on the stage with lionel and wuhong and act like idiots (as usual :D ). i cant help but compare that with last year, when i barely dared to bounce with the rhythm of the music. once again, im amazed at how much i've changed over the past year.

but alas, Genesis is over, and now the catching up on schoolwork commences. i was honestly quite taken aback initially when it seemed that all the subjects have raced ahead of me, especially econs and chem, but after the make-up lecture for maths and econs it's slightly more manageable. i still cant estimate with much confidence how long it will take for me to fully catch up, but hopefully it wont be that bad.

and i got a bit of a scare regarding the fan club today. i went to check on it and realised that there were like 10 people who i did not know at all who joined the club... they have since been removed, but im starting to get a little worried that what started off as an innocent inside joke may lead to something ugly for everyone, especially myself :(
