I've been really busy lately. Since Sem 5 started, I haven't been able to get proper rest. Well, orientation has been going well. The first 2 days were a bit rocky but by the third day, I see progress and unity among the group members. I'm orientating group 11. They are known as the $mi11ion$. I really do hope that they'll continue to do their best until the end. (More updates later)
On the contrary, I was in Klinik Kesihatan Pedas for 2 days. I'm in the research team which consists of 9 people. I did my work and finished it asap so that I didn't have to come the next day. However, there were some issues which I'm not exactly pleased about. For example, why did I have to go back the next day just to do one survey to help out the other division in the group? It's different if there were to be more. Not only was it a waste of time, but to wake up that early to travel to KK Pedas, wait in the clinic for 2 hours and get a resident to fill up the survey in 10 minutes and come back... well, it's not what I had in mind.
I heard that other groups had to go to their clinics on the second day to wait for 2 hours before coming back although nothing needs to be done. Why do they go then? I suppose it's because if they do not take the bus, then the bus driver would report to the university saying that the students decided not to go and that is when students may or may not get into trouble. Sometimes, people find it hard to believe that a total of 250 surveys can be done in a day. It CAN be done, it's just how you do it. So, this just wastes fuel, time and effort of not only students but also the bus driver himself.
It has just been one week and I am facing some difficulties myself. Not only have I been giving people a hard time, but people have been giving me a hard time too. I guess, it is a vicious cycle. But, you've got to understand that when I give someone a hard time, it is solely on work/studies alone. On the other hand, people are giving me a hard time in friendship issues. Yesterday, while I was looking through the namelist of everyone in my batch, I came to realised that while I may have many friends (knowing people), I don't exactly have a clique (people to hang out with). I did, but now, I no longer do.
Things are complicated. I wouldn't say that I wish they weren't because had it not been like that, I wouldn't have realised a few things about my friends which I never knew. There are a few positive ones and mostly, they are negatives. Whatever comes, comes, right? I'm thankful for I've got friends who have been asking if I'm okay and yeah, I'm alright. I'm fine. I always am. :)
