Another Beginning

It's the end of my first year of NS. On this very same day last year, I was conscripted into the bloody army. And this is the beginning of my next year. Exactly 1 year and 4 months left till my NS ends and uni begins. Both difficult phases of life, the end of a difficult life under the supremely hierarchical NS and then the most difficult state of my educational life, NUS law. It will definitely be even harder than my A Levels which I had to fight hard and strong to even make it through with ok grades, though many would beg to differ.

Anyway, on the eve of the beginning of my 2nd year in NS, I have only one prayer. Whatever comes this year, I shall take it in my stride. I just pray that God will give me the strength to see me through this year, and that I will not be as depressed as I was when I began life at my new unit. That was probably the worst time of my life but I have learnt to adapt. Adaptation. That's what humans were created for, to adapt well to their environment. Reinventing one's self to suit wherever it is that one lives. I shall try. For now, it's cheerios from me.
