It feels odd when secondary school finishes. I wish I’m still at St Paul’s and singing in Mrs Ng’s choir − of course, it’s a wish. To be frank, Bedford has never been an enjoyable experience. I’ve long given up believing that things would get better as I become more settled down. I’m lucky that when the worst has arrived, sai lo appeared and saved me from going into dying mode. Eton Choral Course gave me great confidence about how life can be in the UK. I hope what I experienced at Eton will be what I’m going to enjoy at Bath!
It feels surreal that I’m going to become a university student. I don’t feel like I’m ready − not mentally, at least. There’s just too much to think about and have to be organised. Administration stuff is the most annoying part of everything. I just wish we have simpler systems, and that there aren’t any terrorists in the world so we don’t have to apply for a Visa! I still can’t understand what university is about. Going to lectures and socialising with people from all over the world − that’s going to be hard.
University of Bath is a beautiful university and I’m sure I’ll like it very much. The city itself is cool enough with many historic buildings and a nice shopping area. Somehow, I think I’ll enjoy Bath better than Imperial. Imperial is more like an exam centre rather than a university, and London is just too urban for living and learning. It also allows me to forget about people who abandoned me. It’s definitely going to be Imperial’s loss for not accepting me rather than mine! Let’s see how it goes.
Now, St Pancras and Waterloo will not be the centre of my life anymore. (Though I might still be linked with Bedford for some time…) I’ll start anew! I’ll reinvigorate my life and enjoy it once again! Bath, here I come!
