It ain't over till the fat lady sings..

You would think being wiser comes with being older. And you would think that a month off from school could do wonders to weary intellect dragged down by rote learning during school term. You would also think that going to Europe for 12 days would leave a deeper impression in your mind than your credit card bills.

You were wrong.

I turned 23 on the 22nd and despite the customary "birthday gathering" thingy with friends, the nite ended with the mandatory clean up which was almost lonely. Next week school starts and i dread it. My last term in school heralds the impending departure from the only life i had known for the past 17 years or so and step into the working world. The dreary punch card, 9-to-5, reports, 1 hour lunches, pantry abusing, slave-to-the-paycheck life.

Im not looking forward it.

I met Cisoux and LY for dinner. They had just come back from Laos and are busy updating their travelogues.

New Year's is coming and im not feeling all festive. The Club 21 and The Link sales are on but i don't feel like shopping. Menial, trivial stuff really. I have been training though. League starts in 10 days. But i will be away on holiday with NJ.

Tis the season to be jolly? What folly.
