it creeps up on you, and bites you when you least expect it, for better or for worse.
For example, i got dumped in Hobart straight into year 12 from form 4 (that's like skipping form 5, form 6 and upper 6: a total of 3 years). Next thing I know, is that I'm only 17 and everyone else in all my classes is at least a year older than me and i'm expected to do as well as them in study (even though i basically skipped 3 years of malaysian education, srsly wtf?).
On top of that, I've got university next year and i applied to every single australian state listing medicine and law+actuarial science at the top of every application form, and the rate at which this is happening hit me so hard in the sense that i'm still not all that used to Australia and her people.
Furthermore, I really love art (L-O-V-E) and because of that, i still practice a few minutes a day and a few hours on weekends on top of my studies and badminton leaving me extremely thin on spare time which is mostly spent catching up on *much needed* lost sleep.
It is however good to know that there are small miracles in life that keep most of us going, like a kind gesture from a friend or a pat on the shoulder by your brother for it was these small miracles that have kept me going for these past 8 months. To all the guys who've said something kind to me, bought me a drink and what not, thank you.
sorry bout the rant, but this really helped me feel a lot better.
