5 down, 10 to go.

In the blink of an eye, the semester is almost over, which feels weird, because i still remember the earlier lessons as though they happened just last week.

It is rather startling how quickly time has flown when i was in RP...

Months ago, i wasn't sure if i made the right decision to come to RP, even though it was my only choice... but now, i know that even if i could turn back time and choose to do things differently, this would be the one thing i would not change.

Here, i finally understood the meaning of friendship, and the true meaning of Brotherhood. here, i had fallen in love, twice. Here, i had my first relationship. Here, i had my heart broken when it ended. And again, here, i had my heart broken when i was rejected. Yeah, sometimes the experiences might not be good. but thats life, right? no point moping around and hoping that the person will change their minds.

RP has changed me alot as a person, in a way that i find comfortable. i hear tales from my friends in other poly, and i must admit, their tales of change does not suit me. Their tales of change are those of "stupid stunts in orientation camps" and nonsense like that. I like RP, because it changed me gradually, by making me work with 25 people over the course of a few months. Yeah, cliques do form, but at the end of the day, everyone is comfortable with one another, because we have worked with each other and played with each other.

Those who knew me in Sem 1 would have seen the change more obviously. in a matter of weeks, i went from a quiet little guy to a rather noisy and lame one. It took me faster to adapt to life in sem 2 mainly because by then, i was used to talking already. and i guessed it also helped that my first friend in sem 2, joyce, talks alot.

Overall, i am proud to be a Republican, a student of Republic Polytechnic. (Though i support the democratic party in the USA, not the republicans.)
