Today marks the last day of a formal school day, at least for my polytechnic education. My memories of year 1 were still vivid - the 'bookworm' me in the first year, to the 'notorious' me.

My first lesson in poly was an econs class, and my last lesson today is understanding cross cultural diversity. And i am glad that my first and last lessons were undertaken by 2 good tutors - Sin Mun Wah and Wenda Leong. Of course in between there were 1 or 2 freaks such as our financial management tutor, who commented on my class and our attitudes, that "still water runs deep." In the case of my liaison officer - the usual unanswered emails and phonecalls regarding my ITP report.

I also recounted my first presentation - fundamentals of marketing (SA Tours), and last presentation today - business planning for tourism (Verve - yacht business). Thinking of it, nb was my first and last group project member. Fortunately I did not end with the other group members of my very first project.

Wenda relayed to us that there are of course many disappointments in life that are to come as we grow, but we must learn from such disappointments, but never to hurt others. And a conscious mind is imperative. She also agreed that life is unfair. Some things you want, you never get. Some things you prayed hard to God you never want, you get. These are the very last moral values she taught us.

Perhaps, with so many projects and exams to handle in poly, even the most saint person is prone to being hot-tempered. Especially when dealing with freerider issues, meeting deadlines and the like. I fell into this category by no means.

This whole week will be hell for most of us. Tests are coming next week and at the end of ITP, it will mark the beginning of a new chapter in life. Will it be an easy chapter, or a chapter full of complexities? Will it also be a chapter full of opportunities, or a chapter that is going to lead the author nowhere?

I am sceptical.
