January intake

im sitting downstairs by the fridge blogging using my big-ass desktop right now. firstly, i donno what the hell happened but the internet today is retardedly slow and the agony is totally taking its toll on me right now. as of this moment my patience is running low so god help the monitor if something goes awfully wrong. the fan isn't working at the moment and the fridge - god the fridge! - its making the bzzz bzzz sound ever since i sat on this chair and its driving me nuts. just 20 minutes ago i was staring at the login page for the green bar on the lower right to load right after i keyed in my username and password. life is just great

yesterday was mom's birthday! as usual, i texted her in the morning wishing her happy birthday. as always, i was the last in the family to wish her - kajie was always the first to do so - however, this year around due to time constraint and insufficient 'funds' i didnt get her a proper present, instead i made french toast for her for tea. hah! i remembered last year i made dinner for the family but it was really troublesome so i decided toast is something easier to make and no fuss at all. glad she liked it.

right now i still havent decided whether or not i should enroll for the january intake law in help. many of my friends have already called me, virtually begging for me to join them and having said that, i do honestly really wanna go too. however, its the mid of january already and i havent pack/prepare a damn thing. if i were to join them, by monday i have to show up for classes already. and then the issue of accomodation; which i yet to settle. now how can i move in and join them in 1st year of law when i havent even settle a damn thing? and to be perfectly honest, there is a part of me who still wanna chill at home, enjoying the comfort that only home can provide. okay so now how? this was my initial decision anyway. that is to get a job as soon as possible and opt for the july intake in help. and by the way that's 6 months to go and if i dont get a job in that period of time, imma rot until nothing is left of me before i even step a foot into my first class in july. plus, a huge portion of my friends have started their first year and i really dont wanna fall behind. imagine having the same bunch of friends who chilled together at mamak, smoked together, get wasted and do shit and you gotta acknowledge them as your seniors. well thats not the case im afraid of right now.

the january intake law course is an express one. their 1 year is equivalent to 9 months. the july one however is the perfectly normal one - 1 year is 12 months - which in that case i can actually 'breathe' because the express classes are just insane. very hectic and imagine going classes from 8am all the way till 4. its just insane.

but for the january's rebuttal sake, by the end of the 3-year-course, all of them will graduate almost 2 years ahead of me! thats almost 24 months! now how the hell that can happen? as stated earlier, they are in an express class. 9 months = 1 year. okay so that makes it 3 years = 27 months. the july one will be 3 years = 36 months. okay what the hell its only 9 months difference. but wait, after the our second year, there's a 3 months wait for the results to be released. so for those who are in the january intake, they will be having their results released by august 2011 and by sept 2011, they can fly off to uk and continue with their third year. the july intakers however will only receive their results by july 2012 and only by sept 2012, they will get to fly off to the uk. so if my calcuations are correct, the january intakers will have a head start of 12 months. and adding the intial 9 months plus the 3 months i gotta wait before i actually enroll for the classes, thats 12+9+3 = 24 months! now thats a heartache!

if you ask me really i got nothing to lose if i join the july class. just a couple of years wont make much of a difference. but then again, they'll have much much more experience and definitely more opportunities. so im really at a crossroad here. i'm still clueless in deciding whether or not to join my fellow ex-coursemates who are now having their 1st year or should i wait for the july one instead and have them as my seniors?

so after much deliberation and consideration with parents, friends, relatives and counsellors, i think i'll just stick to the original plan and opt for the july class instead. and fucking get a job! chinese new year is around the corner! see you guys next week aite (:
