It sucks that I'm thinking of my future even before classes have started, but aiyuh, overachieving singaporean scholar habits die hard, especially if you're surrounded by overachieving crazy chiong to take Math 52743 classes scholars.
The reason why I came here was to break away from the ratrace, to understand that I can achieve that life I want without selling my soul to the devil, sacrificing interests and quality of life for qualifications. Ah, but 20,000 miles away, its still here to haunt me. The dilemma: Stay in the College, taking the classes I'm REALLY interested in - game theory, psychology, PPE, spanish, film studies?? Or succumb and do the whole Wharton in 3 years and MBA the year after - what seems like 90% of Singaporeans do. Or take middleground and do a double in College and Wharton and coming out after 4 years without a Masters? (again, another hurdle in the ratrace, not having a Masters would put one ever so low in the scholar heirachy.)
Then again, the whole entrepreneural thing I wanna venture into doesnt require all these qualifications. But just how viable is that? Sheesh, this is supposed to be the time of limitless possibilities, not spent worrying about reality so soon.
As appropriately put by Rachelle, "you can never escape the ratrace, no matter how far away you are"
That said, sorry, I just cant resist blogging this:
There was a party organized by the school over at the Library last night, with DJs and really good music, how cool is that? And there's one tonight in the Museum too. The frat parties are just full of crappy beer and very loud ang mos. Oh, give me back my Zouk.
he rocked the party at 9:13 AM |
