the life of a true scholar..

The life of a true scholar is nakakapagod!!

It's super tiring, I tell you!!

Back in college, I had a friend who was a scholar. Like true blue scholar. She was smart and she always, always, studied hard! I admired her. I had to. I was never like that! At times, I would even go to our class without knowing that we had an exam. Cramming was always my thing! It is what works best for me. Studying was truly a very alien concept for me. Much more studying every night. And so to amuse myself, I would often say that I am also a scholar. Yun nga lang, scholar ng nanay at tatay ko ang drama ko!!

3 months ago I got accepted in GBF and became a REAL SCHOLAR like my friend! I was so happy. You can just imagine! I was so proud of myself. Just the thought of hearing it made me happy!! Ako, scholar?? Oh yeah.. Ang sarap pakinggan!! Sobra!!

But 3 months after here I am, being forced to study almost every night and definitely not by choice I tell you!! To study, I have to sacrifice hanging out with my friends.. I am afraid one day, I might have to miss some of my daily addictions such as 1.) Facebook, 2.) Chuvaness, 3.) Gossip Girl (okay so that's more like weekly), 4.) soap operas, SNN and so much more! Obviously, I am addicted to a lot of things! Now, I think, I am slowly developing an addiction for Chinese! Oh, yeah! AS WEIRD AS IT SOUNDS, all my thoughts are almost in Chinese now! Sometimes when I buy something I wanna tell the cashier XIEXIE instead of THANK YOU!! I text my mom sometimes in Chinese, and there are also times when I find myself wanting to take notes in Chinese! It's weird I tell you! But if you are in my place, then, I guess it's all good too!!

I find myself weird nowadays! Weird that I study almost every night. Weird that I always think Chinese. Weird that I get pressured to study! If you had classmates like me, you will be pressured too I am sure. But it's okay.. it's still fun!

Now I come home tired.. rest for awhile.. check out some stuff in the net.. and resume to my Hanyu stuff once again! So that, my Chinese schedule is not really 9-4 only!! It is, sa totoo lang, a whole day thing! It is starting to become a lifestyle! And so I tell you.. mahirap ang buhay tunay na iskolar!! Sobra! Masaya man sya, mahirap pa rin!! ARGH!! But it's okay Keisha.. think Shanghai! think snow!! Plus, the great company you will have!!

So, remind me again please why I wanted to be a SCHOLAR in the first place?!?

Oh, I know!! I sure know!!

Suo yi, bu yong le!!
