I solemnly swear to preface most of my blogposts with an excuse about why I haven't posted. This time it's a bout of apathy. I KNOW I can just shake my schedule clean of gaming and become one of the top FSV students in terms of results, but I just won't. FSV may have been one of the best choices for me personally, but "one of the best" doesn't necessarily mean "good".

Me and a bunch of friends went to Canteen 4 yesterday. Campus is large and varied enough such that it's like a microcosm of a city, each part of the city having distinctive bits of culture. Canteen 4 was filled with people from engineering, or so I was told. Unlike the air-conditioned, shiny canteen the media students frequented, there were drab textures, and ceiling fans everywhere. And the general feel of the place... felt like secondary school.

When I was queuing for food I was wearing the hood of my jacket, but the rest of it was hanging down over my back like a cape. I probably looked weird. Apparently, this was reason enough for a couple of unknown guys behind me to react in the usual pseudo-cheena-bum fashion. They tugged a few times on my jacket, discussed me in loud whispers, and pushed one of their buddies into me. So cheena. I wouldn't have gotten this treatment in the usual canteen, where bald people, pseudo-assertive girls and western accents were common. I was a bit nervous, but when they finally outright began speaking to me as if I was some sort of deformed talking alien, they just made small talk about what school I was from, etc. I'm not even sure why talking to these types make me feel nervous.
