What?

IT'S ALETHEIA'S TURN.

Who was the one who (wrongly) poked me for not posting?!

(Sicheng.)

Cue the 'OHHHH' that RI guys always do. Such a different culture. Everything's happening too much, too fast. Too many groups of people to adjust to. Too many decisions to make. Frisbee why your trials are all gone so fast? Good luck, guys.

(Okay, so I couldn't resist a little reflection.)

School. Oh school ): if we had a abrupt transition to active-mugging/studying it'd be great. But no, we had an extra week of holidays, then JIP, and no school again. Then orientation which was a blast and made us all feel like not studying but expecting to, then a week of semi-school (lectures, no tutorials). Because studying in JC is a lot more self-regulatory and therefore requires a lot more discipline on our part, this strange gentle transition just means that we'd might never get down to proper study life, or at least until it's a bit too late.

I also liked how in 411 there were no clear distinctions between muggers and non-muggers. There are definitely people who study more and those that study less but the 'muggers' would also go for class outings and be high and part of us and the 'non-muggers' would also study (in varying degrees/amounts) even with 'muggers' and so on. No one hates on the muggers and muggers don't hate on the non-muggers or anything.

Not so in RJ (at least, from my experience). There are muggers and there are the people who discriminate against them. I feel kind of in between (because I classify myself to be in between). It feels strange.
