College life

*daily post..haha , daily my ass. I haven't updated in god knows how long*

HAPPY NEW YEAR BITCHES!

Okay, fine, 9 days late, whatever.

I'm super sorry for not blogging! Yeah, some assholes will be thinking "nobody cares whether you blog or not". Pft. STFU and GTFO bitch! =)

So, been so busy with college life. So, am going to blog bout the chronicles of college life right here ya =)

Honestly, I was really unprepared for college. The day before college started, I felt so numb and unprepared. I thought, what was I getting myself into?

I'm going into a college, in KL, where I don't know anyone. I'm from a small unknown government school in Puchong, whereas the people there are all from KL schools. I didn't know anybody at all, and the people there all have their own gangs and friends from the same school that they can hang out with. I wasn't a super brilliant student, and I would end up being the loser of the class.

I had so many irrational fears on the day before I started college. What if I end up the loner? What if I'm last in class? What if I embarrass myself on the first day? Endless "what if..."s flooded my mind.

Before I knew it, I was in the car , on the way to my first day of college. I was quiet, as fear and my nerves got the better of me. I was feeling pretty loser-ish. White-faced, i stepped into college. Was directed up to the 3rd floor, where I saw a bunch of people waiting. I was thinking "shit, i'm fucked" cause I saw them all talking to each other, and I knew they were ex-schoolmates.

My worst fears were realized. Almost 3/4 of the class had at least a few people or more that they already knew. I was sitting there alone, quiet , thinking "Ah what the fuck. No use sitting down here being lonely" So started socializing with the 1/4 of the class who didn't know anybody.

Basic convo

Me : Hi, I'm jonathan. Whats your name? *shakes hand with other person* (At this point, I felt pretty ghay already ==)
Other Person : Oh, I'm bla bla bla

Then we sort of bla bla bla away la. So first day was actually quite horrible for me. Orientation, which was boring as hell, and me , who was awkward as hell.

I came back home thinking "damn it. I shouldn't have gone to this college".

Things started getting better. I got to know more people, and started hanging out with a fixed bunch of people. Classes started on the 2nd day, and I started socializing more , and it became pretty nice actually. The people were freaking friendly there.

And the feeling of being in college fucking rawks. You're free to go anywhere between classes, nobody scolds you if you talk in class, way more freedom than in sec school.

So, now, I know quite a few people already, and I'm starting to feel comfortable being here =)

It's pretty cool actually, and I'm glad I came without my friends. I was thrust into a new environment, and I think I adapted pretty quickly XD. Never knew I had the courage to start talking to strangers

One blog-worthy thing I wanna ...err...blog about though.Yesterday, I had IELTS class (English classes). So, everyone was expected to go in front of the class and give a short speech bout whatever they wanted to talk about. I knew first impressions were important as hell. Some people went up there, introduced themselves, and sat back down. Some people went up talking bout serious stuff like peace and corruption (Anan and Selva, u pwn man XD)

I was thinking "Shit, what the hell should I be talking about?". I knew I wouldn't want to talk bout serious stuff, not on my first speech anyway. So, I was called up, and my mind sort of went blank.

Yeah yeah, I know most people would expect me to make a complete fool of myself.

I'm glad to say, it didn't (at least not fully =)

So, went up there, introduced myself. Talked bout my first few days at college. I knew that if you wanted people to listen to you, you had to make them laugh. So I though, ah what the heck. Talked bout my hobbies, made some jokes, and they did end up laughing. I think that's when I got more confident. I finished introducing myself, then I was stuck. What the shit should I talk about? I subconsciously did my thinking/pouting face (Ya know, I twist my lips to the side), and to my surprise, the audience started laughing. Pretty cool eh. Suddenly, decided to talk about the warlords. Haha, yeah, really unexpected, but that was the only thing I could think of. So , talked bout it, put in some jokes, audience laughed and what not, and by the time I finished, I think they had enjoyed my speech up there ( I think, please say its so XD) So, heard the teacher asking comments from the students la. Confident, clear and funny XD

Fuck yeah!

Hopefully that made a pretty decent first impression of myself eh.

I've got college again tommorow, and I"ll blog more bout my college life.

Wish me luck bitches.

Cheers
