On Course

First day of my Orientation course and it was like heaven on earth

There was one thing that I had known but didn't get to experience: There are NORMAL people around. I don't mean that my colleagues are abnormal but hey, the organisation isn't just filled with scholars, as there are Farmers and Fertilizers like me too (categorizing people as Scholars - Warriors - Farmers - Fertilizers). I had to hit the ground running and felt so dejected on so many occasions that I had forgotten what a stress-free weekday was like.

One problem perhaps was that I had felt unwanted, I managed to see that 'recalled email' and knew that I wasn't supposed to be there, and well, I also didn't realise that I was perhaps the only engineer in the office as most of the rest would have studied arts and maybe law. There is not really such a thing as guidance since everyone is so busy and fires have to be put out, with the added pressure from the problem caused by my birthplace. Additionally, I am always overawed by my director that I dreaded my time in office so today was like a dream-come-true for me: Free to express myself and to have fun.

Time to keep myself in check, this is not the reality, just an escape and a chance for me to feel optimistic before returning to the furnace in December.
