'I've got some friends, some that I hardly know...
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world...'
-Swing Life Away, Rise Against-
So as of 2 days ago, I am officially no longer a Taylorian. And today is my 2nd of many days of rotting into oblivion before pulling myself together and plunging into life as a pre-medical student.
I didn't think it would be that hard to leave Taylor's. But in the end, it was. The lyrics above felt so true to me as I left my last class of the day.
In all honesty, throughout the past 5 months or so, I was a complete introvert. My classmates all bonded with each other, formed close friendships, talked and laughed all day... while I sat quietly in the corner. I couldn't figure out why I was finding it so hard to fit in. I was usually the one they turned to for questions of coursework, homework, etc. Rarely for a friendly conversation. So yeah, I was the awkward, socially inadequate nerd of the class... harhar.
So yeah, I wasn't that heart-broken about leaving Taylor's. But on my last day, we went to Pizza Hut as a loud, rowdy class. My classmates treated me to lunch and wished me all the best for the future. And when it was time for me to leave, classmates whom I hardly talked to came up to me and gave me hugs. And that's when I remembered the song lyrics. That was also when I suddenly felt sad that I was leaving.
I just want to say here that I'm sorry you guys, for not making more of an effort to get to know you guys better. And I wish you all the best too, and we should always keep in contact. Call me when you're in Penang for the class trip and I'll be your official tourguide. Haha.

Lecturers! Wow, I couldn't ask for better. You're a big part of what makes studying at Taylor's fun. I'm going to miss Maths terribly when I head into INTEC. And I'll have to struggle with Physics, which I know nuts about now... *runs away from Ms. Chow*. And I'm definitely going to miss Psychology... I don't get to finish the last four core studies!! *whines* =(

One thing I'm going to miss a lot about Taylor's is CF. I love the CF crowd. With them, I was no longer the socially inadequate nerd. It was so awesome to be able to serve in CF as the secretary, albeit only for a short while. And the opportunity to play guitar in the worship team was an experience that I would never forget. (Thanks, Daniel! Not many people would lend their precious guitar to someone else to abuse, but you did! XD)
CF was such a great blessing to me. I learnt so much and met so many awesome people.

So yeah, the past five months have definitely not been a waste of time. In fact, I wouldn't have spent it any other way. =)
Now, back to rotting.
