Hard as Nails

I’ve always been in love with the prospect of going to school. Eons ago, when I was still a happy child, the thought of having to go to National Bookstore at the start of every school year excited me to the pits. Although I love the vacations and the holidays squeezed into the school year, I used to wish I could just go to school instead of staying at home, doing nothing.

It’s funny to think back to those innocent times then recall myself crying in the bathtub yesterday night because I was terrified of going back to school. See, I’ve started wishing I could just stay at home forever, I’ve started wishing I could just sleep and daydream the whole day…

I’ve actually started wishing I could just go to another school.

Sigh.

My mentor told me to be as hard as nails - for my own sake. Easier said than done. I mean, I’m the type of girl who cries over squid capturing done in Survivor: Cook Islands. I’m the type of girl who cries like a hungry, war-torn baby over sentimental scenes like the train scenes in The Classic. I’m the type of girl who cries over the tiniest things, like the Monday flag ceremony.

Can I seriously be as hard as nails?
