I truly am, a genius.

So I received an invitation to a formal award ceremony a week back ago, stating that because I have achieved a high CGPA, I am in the Dean's List, and hence I am to receive an award from Richmond University for my *cough* Academic excellence. Alright cool, free food, free alcohol why the hell not right? Then I realised I had a few problems...

  1. I hate Richmond University

  2. I'm leaving Richmond University

  3. I didn't bring my formal shoes

  4. I didn't bring my coat/blazer

  5. I don't even have proper pants let alone the coat!

A week later, all was forgotten and i hardly thought about the ceremony. Then, yesterday at 5pm, while I was rushing to complete my overdue assignment, my roommate starts changing and tells me the formal is at 6. WTF. I managed to finish my assignment 5.50, took a quick shower and I was back in my room by 5.58. Hohoho, this is where the fun begins.

I haven't done my laundry, so I didn't have a lot of clothes to pick out from. I took out my brown long sleeved esprit shirt, followed by the only pair of black pants I had. I quickly ran to my friend's room for something to reduce the wrinkles on my shirt. Then I found out that my only pair of black pants...weren't black...they were dark blue (i'm colour blind, like james). Great, so I ran back to my room and got a light blue short sleeved shirt and a pair of dark blue shiny pants. I went to another friend's room to take his black blazer, then back to my room to wear my chocolate brown shoes.
Lets review this. Louis is wearing

  1. Light blue, short sleeved collared shirt.

  2. Dark navy blue, shiny pants.

  3. Black blazer.

  4. Chocolate brown, shoes.

If you aren't already gasping at the repulsive combination of clothes I was wearing, you should be ashamed of yourself. I walked into the famous Star and Garter and immediately received a comment on how I didn't match. No shit sherlock, even a blind man would be able to tell, so shut up. Why should I even bother properly dressing up? There's no one to impress, I hate this godforsaken place, hell I was even tempted to go in trainers and track pants.

The night ended at 9 ish. Approximately 100 or so students got an award, I guess I should be proud of my achievement. Then I looked around at the people in my University and thought..

The smart amongst the stupid. Great achievement there.

Worst of all, they even messed up my certificate! Firstly they arranged my name in the wrong order, Louis Hai Aun Tan (meant to be Louis Tan Hai Aun), then states that i'm in my first semester (i'm in like my 6th semester!) and finally that i'm amongst the best first year students. I'm in the range of 60-90 credits, that places me in my third year fool. I hate people.
