Dilemma. |8:34 AM

Been in a fix nowadays.

For the past week or so, many of the committee members have been asking around who would want to stay as a comm member for the next academic year. This is definitely a rather early question to ask, as our term officially ends only august 2005. That is like four months away. Nonetheless, it left me in a dilemma. Being in the comm has its perks, like being able to pick up management skills and making more friends. However, it has proven to be extermely time consuming and school work compromising. Hence, i am hesitating.

Another reason for me thinking soooo hard over this seemingly silly question is the problem of residing in halls of residences. It is rather competitive here and i would definitely need more CCA points from participating in such activities. Thus the benefits of participating in the comm would indirectly ensure me a place in hall.

However, things are seldom so simple in life. Or at least in MY life. Next year would be my 3rd year in NTU. It is also the year where i have to go my for industrial attachment. I have been hoping that i could get an attachment overseas, meaning i would be spending 1 smester overseas. I have been really looking forward to this. However if i do go, it would also mean i cannot participate in any extra curricular activities be it comm or not comm and will be at the mercy of the merciless hall people to allocate me a room, or worse, don't allocate me room at all. The thought of having to spending 3 to 4 hours of travelling time a day in my final year, just seems like madness to me.

It should be pretty obvious what my dilemma is now, overseas IA (for a chance of a lifetime experience) or a sure place in hall and loads of fun in the future Chinese Orchestra committee.

Should be studying for coming finals (in less than a month) but i am not.

Perturbed and restless.

As always,
