Stay

So I have not blogged recently at all. No excuses really, I was just really into Terraria for the past month, though not so much in the recent week due to work and trying to get into the exam mood, which they are coming in the next couple weeks. Also generally had a lack of really exciting things to blog about so there. But I kinda wanna just talk about my life in NYP so far and how things could have turned out quite differently.

I've had a chance to follow a friend I will call B, to an event, namely the Adventure Club's commissioning or handing down of positions or whatever you wish to call it. The seniors leave and pass on their positions to the young'uns basically. As some of you might know, I'm actually in my second year at NYP, though I'm still year 1 technically cause I transferred courses. Even less known is that I've actually joined Adventure Club on one training, namely the very first one of the academic year in my first year. It left a bad taste in my mouth for reasons I will not say, not exactly anything wrong with them, mostly with me. DGAD is kind of killer on workload at the time, I wanted my gaming time and I wasn't keen on reaching home at 2330 so I did not continue on with ADC. Quite ironically I usually returned around that time later in the first year though.

So anyway, I joined them for their commissioning and the funny thing is really, I could've been there as one of them rather than an uninvited entourage. It was really strange as I was sitting there and looking at all the year 2 people taking over positions, going up on stage, and thinking," I would've known these people had I decided to stay with them instead of pussing out." Which led me to think of another thing as well. Probably very little known is that I had this interest in joining Ballroom in my first year as well. I was just quite mesmerised by the dresses and the moves. Perhaps even before I was in NYP, I had some interest in joining a partnered dance, not a great interest but it was on the list at least. But there was no one I knew joining and I wasn't keen on joining on my own so I stayed my decision and ended up in the Go Home Club - the CCAless people. So the other thing I was thinking was that had I gone and joined Ballroom, I probably would have had a very different relationship with B and A, a guy from Ballroom that I am acquainted with.

It's just quite interesting that I'm running into my past in quite unexpected situations and I'm seeing how differently things could have turned out differently had I stayed with my previous decisions or my penchants.
