Goodbye, NUS
Friday marked the last day of evening lessons at NUS. Time certainly flew by; it's been nearly a year and my time as a student had once again ended. We took plenty of pics with the 2 profs...all on FB. As I drove home in the drizzle, a wave of nostalgia swept over me.
I had hated evening lessons and that heavy feeling of needing to revise during free time, as well as finish your assignments. I thoroughly disliked not earning a salary when I needed money to pay for so many things in the course of planning for wedding and renovating my new house. God took care of them all. I'm grateful for my scholarship, although I've decided not to serve the bond after weighing the costs. My hostility towards the gahment has increased a lot since my last job and it has not been lightened by the study. I hope not to be involved in a place that served the state so directly. And, not to forget, my health also suffered badly in the course of all these activities.
And all this is coming to an end. I'm feeling this syndrome, which I forgot the name of...the one where you actually weep for your kidnapper?? LOL I know this sounds really extreme, but that's what I've been feeling.
I will miss the intellectual satisfaction of being a student, despite not having enough time to properly digest all that I had learned. I'll miss NUS food! It's cheap and good here. NTU is seriously sad. I'll miss the centrality of the place, despite the difficulty of getting home in the evenings. Will miss the profs and classmates.
