Journal Entry 12

Monday, November 2^nd 2009

Gwahah! I felt like being in an evil mood today. I have finished the required 10 journals for ‘Creative Writing’, whereas, my classmates have yet to finish it. Hence, I could not help it but to laugh at some of them, especially poor old Deborah who was unfortunate enough to become the target of my teasing. She got so annoyed by me that she slapped me across my stomach. Doing that did not help her situation at all; it merely made me tease her even more.

Today, I went for ‘Orientation Training Camp’ interview with QiMing. ‘Orientation Training Camp’ was a camp where you were required to attend to be able to help out in events such as ‘TPRawks’ and ‘Freshmen Orientation Camp’. We both signed up as ‘Group Leaders’. Our interviewee shocked me though; before the interview, she came to us and leaned against my shoulder, texting away on her cell phone. I did not expect the interviewee to be so… friendly.

The interview went smoothly. I thought I had done quite well in the interview. With each question she shot at us, my trusty mind raced at nanoseconds to cough up a satisfying answer. Though I had to admit, I did not expect the interview to be filled with so many questions; I was half-expecting my mind to fail me. However, my trust pal surprised me, yet again, by how well it could function under pressure.

After the interview, I rushed to class, expecting myself to barely make the 15 minutes grace before I was counted as late. To my surprise, the whole class was waiting outside the studio. Apparently, the 12 pm class before us had started late and they were still occupying the studio. We waited patiently and by the time we started class, it was already 3.30 pm. The lesson today was rather dry and I struggled to remain awake. At 4.30 pm, Pat, my lecturer, announced that class was over for the day. We remained transfixed in our seats. ‘Did we hear correctly?’ we wondered. She repeated her words and like magic, we recovered from our frozen state. Today was a pretty relaxing day!
