The holidays were what I would describe as a "good and well-deserved break". The hussle and bussle of the cramming of revision notes during the march exam period was pretty intense. People have been telling me that i've lost weight! (although, really, I don't feel a single thing as usual).

I don't know about what the rest of the class thinks, but Mr. Chow is quite the apt Class Advisor for a class like ours. I think he's the only lecturer who has really been able to tame the class. He's since day 1, baby!

Today was a day, which I believe, was special for everyone. Well, it certainly was special for me. There was something about today which made me feel nice and warm on the inside. I don't know what it was, but whatever it was, I really have never felt this way in my life before. Maybe it's the knowing that i'm one step closer towards a brighter future, and perhaps, in the process, forgiving myself for the idiot I once was. I don't know. However, looking at the year 1's, it is quite unbelievable that we were once there, too. I mean, shit, time fucking flies.

I thought the modules last semester were pretty tough. One module in particular was screwed up by design, making it even more tough to score. However, from my observations, as a whole, everybody performed acceptably. This semester is bound to be the toughest that we're going to face. A couple of important core modules are right here, and that paves way for a time-table many people have been whining about. I mean, Fridays are no longer half-days?!

It was sure a nice feeling to be back in school after the break from all the business of the previous semester. It was tiring, and it was sour, but it is worth it. Especially when your efforts get reflected in your results. Now, it is time to do it all over again, in a heartbeat. It was also nice to see the faces of the people whom i've learnt so much from. Actually, to tell the truth, it's quite unexplainable, but I seem to have this strange attachment to my class and school, despite me disliking my class at times and wanting to graduate ASAP.

I mean, i'm not ready to leave everyone that I know in my school and class. I'm just not. At least, not without a proper actual goodbye. For the people whom i've had a falling out with, they made me realize my flaws. For that, I thank you. For the people whom i've been able to sit down and talk to, they made me realize what it meant to be a friend. For that, I thank you. I thank you all.

Well, gone are the holidays. It's back to school now. School's a routine which is unbreakable. With this semester's modules hovering above my head as dark clouds, I forecast a storm brewing ahead of us all. Due to that, I probably will no longer update this blog regularly. I managed to blog a little during my holidays, but that was because I had all the time in the world. Now, still without proper access to a ready computer or an internet connection, and with school sinking in, i'm forced to once again abandon Archiving Life. I'm reverting back to my personal diary.

Some of you may be wondering why then I even actually bothered resurrecting this blog, moving Archiving Life's address and re-skinning the blog. It's becuase I made a promise to my previous blog that I would do revamp of the blog for Archiving Life's first year birthday. So, ta-da, here it is!

Until next time, guys. Oh, and if you're reading this post, or if you've been reading my blog, I probably would've never told you in person before, but I value my friendship with you. Every single one of you.
