Mugger mode

It's only the first day of school and I have 2 chapters each of chem and bio, 6 math probs, and the greek alphabet to learn... *freaks out*

It's a new experience, this moving around alone. i mean they had mobile classrooms in rg and vj but you kinda moved in a homogenous clump, you knew everyone, everywhere, everything, and it was safe. now there's no one to talk to between classes, and there MIGHT not be anyone at the house table at meals, or if there is it MIGHT not be a comfortable nice person that you've known since p4. i am actually hungry for a singaporean face... anyone who can speak singlish with me, complain and worry abt the same things with me.

there are loads of nice ppl... our seniors are back (we had a nice dinner last night after the RSO fair), and my mum is still around (but seriously, and sadly, she's getting to be more of a hindrance than anything cos all she wants to do is hang around my room hanging up my clothes)... and the first-yr sporeans. whoa. the past few days have bonded us like superglue... as one of them suggested, our numbers are too small for us to afford nei hong :) But what would i do without these guys (and gals). they have brought "taking care of each other" to new levels... i wouldn't have thought it possible. but i am immensely greatful for the company/ help/ advice/ support from this bunch!

yet i don't feel connected here, literally not quite plugged into society. life here is incredibly different, and i can't stop being reminded of it in every little way.

do i sound confused? homesick? i'm probably both.
