i never thought that i'd say this,
but i miss school.
like, seriously speaking, i really do.
those uniform-clad days...
in blue and grey i mean.
sobs.

its especially worse for me since i didn't apply for PAE and hence not in a JC now.
so i can't wear my dear old uniform out without feeling like a fraud.
on the first day of school i walked over to j8 to grab some stuff,
and saw (as usual) many school kids in their uniforms.
some cedarians too! although the new temporary compound's nowhere near j8..
and that just made me feel even more cedar-sick.
i'm growing up too fast.
yeeks.

a word of caution:
below is a paragraph over-flowing with sarcasm, so please read with A SENSE OF HUMOUR.

i'm proud of myself.
after bumming around the house for a week plus,
i got myself a job and upgraded from "bumming around the house" status
to "bumming around the clinic".
yessiree i'm working at my uncle's eye centre, doing mostly NOTHING.
i'm such a good help aren't i?
started today, and i was helping to man the reception desk.
how interesting is that!
i was a clerk. or so i think i was.
the only clerk-ish things i did was to register patients when they arrived.
and that was only like a couple since the 2 receptionists took over when they were around.
what else did i do...
oh yes! i kept receipts in the drawers. ahah.
but my biggest achievement was helping to translate some info to a little old granny...
... in CHINESE! like omg how cool is that. xD
it'll totally look good in my resume huh.

okay on a serious note, i'm thankful that my uncle helped get me a job at his clinic.
albeit i didn't do much, but at least i'm earning dough.
but i must admit, it IS a tad boring.
since i can't do much because i have NO IDEA what's going on.
like i can't handle money transactions (including dispensing the medication and briefing patients on their prescriptions) because that's too complicated for me,
and i can't take calls because you have to be in with the clinic's know-how, which i am not.
i worked half-day today, and it was kinda bad enough.
i'll be doing full day tomorrow, so please keep me in your prayers.
i'll seriously be needed it.
and its so draining, you know!
even by just sitting there trying your best to look helpful.
i've yet to come up with an explanation as to why i was tired after i left.
now i know how 'tired from work' really feels.
its almost as bad as 'tired from school'!

ahhh spas, spas, my dear spas, you owe me loads!
