Time Machine

In the middle of the night, I am meeting the never-ending deadlines again.

Suddenly I missed the good old times again. I used to think that JC life was rather stressful, but now is worse. Secondary school life was not bad, but I had some obstacles too. I wonder 5 years down the road and I look back in time, will I remember anything about university life?

I probably will unless there's something wrong with my memory. But what is really worth remembering? The deadlines all crmaped together? The readings that always make me sleepy? The lecturers? The very little friends/project mates of mine?

I wish I had a time machine, so that I can go back in time and experience my younger days once again. Those carefree days and those sincere friends... Sigh... Even my body was younger and stronger. =D

It wasn't that my uni life was not carefree, in fact there are times when my uni schedule are more relaxed than last time. But I still do not have the sense of belonging.

Talking about friends are even worse, I only have a small group of friends, unlike the big group of lyes back in the JC times. We also seldom have gathering unless it's schoolwork related. But well, at least they are sincere.

There are many other project mates I knew due to the projects I've had. Most of these people are rather normal and 'hi-bye' friends, but some are quite bad and they appear to be extremely friendly with u. Why? It's because they will need help in individual assignments and often ask for your assignment draft so that they can copy references or even content. -.-'''

The worst kind are those who are free-riders in project groups. When the submission date is here, they will keep rushing u to finish the project while they MSN, FB, online shopping during discussions and put the blame on u when the final report/essay is not up to their standard. If they are so good, go ahead and do themselves!

All these aren't seen in JC, maybe cos we only had 1 project work and the rest are all tests and exams. In secondary school, the system was similar to JC so no problems as well.

That's also the reason why I wished for a time machine, to go back in time and cherish my friends more and work harder for every test and exam. But such things do not exist in real life, so what's the point in wishing?
