I haven't been on a roller coaster in a while, but I imagine the past (this) week to be a pretty good representative. How else does one get multiple rapid turns of emotion. The heart plummeting in resignation. Then a nauseating turmoil of frustration and helplessness. And without warning, an exuberant, crazy high. Yes I think that covers the ground nicely - the REP gang will know.
It's simply amazing how much trouble a single person can cause. But the problem now is that trouble tends to leave a legacy. So who's/how to clean up the mess? "Ruining lives since (insert year here)" indeed. If we graduate as strong ppl it'll be because of all the nonsense we've had to endure.
But thank goodness unhappiness doesn't last, not during CNY anyway! I'm actually making do with less sleep nowadays, what with the endless meetups lately [this is the third consecutive week we've met for 3 times at least!]. Not to mention a constant nagging conscience to exercise after all the CNY goodies [YES! Credits to various sources of love back home], beer, and array of supper foods consumed. I think amidst the fun we had everything else went out the window hahaha. Morning lessons? Who needs them after a skype visit at 4am. We did our best to craft a little CNY atmosphere of our own, and although it really is nothing to shout about compared to back home, it was better than I could ask for :)
新年快乐 everyone! 恭喜发财!
