Time,slow down...puhleese!

Freak out freak out freak out! Think about promos and start freaking out. Look at the single page of my econs essay as opposed to the required four pages and start freaking out. Listen to a certain teacher lament about my shallowness in writing Literature critical appreciations and start freaking out. Touch the thickness of unread Geography must-reads and start freaking out. Seriously,can time do all of us inadequately prepared stoners a big favour and just slow down? So that maybe we can cram in some last-minute mugging...not that it will help much,but hey,as they say,every second counts...

Played a bloody session of inter-house floorball on Thursday,as in literally bloody. Three matches against three different houses,yet we persevered and played to our maximum capacity,all the while ignoring the tightness in our legs and the fatigue we accumulated from the entire week. It was worth it-Aquila emerged champions! :) But it came with a price,quite heavy I must say,on my part. Due to "accidental" raising of sticks(which is obviously a foul,yet the referee seems kinda oblivious to...),the skin on my left pinky was scraped off like the peeling of an orange skin and the nail on my right thumb was chipped till it bled all the way down my shirt. There I was,painfully holding on to the stick while wiping my blood-dribbling thumb on my shirt *winces*. Then there was a ball that came so close to the goal,and the only natural instinct was to do a slide to save it,but dammit,I kinda forgot I still had a raw pink wound on my right knee,and by landing on it,the tender skin sort of burst and sent another spurt of blood. Ouch. Looks like I may need a blood transfusion soon. Any donors? :p

Yesterday we had the NIE directors' relay run to raise money for Jurong Minds school-4.5kmX6 people. It started at around 7.15,and Sarah was our first runner. Off she sprinted with a whole group of people from other categories and groups...she came back after 20mins,and gave the rest of us some "insights" about the route,while Megan took off. Thanks Sarah,for all your "psychoing" and "just-do-it"s...and Siew Min too,for keeping me warm when I started breaking out in cold sweat and having frozen fingers. When Megan came back with her Mighty Mouse steps,it was my turn. The route was real shitty,especially near the end,where the gradual long slopes are real tests of endurance! There were so many of them,and the route was so "ululated",with nobody behind nor in front of me. And by that time,it was already 8plus,and darkness has enveloped the entire area. The occasional bouts of comfort came from the few road marshalls holding light sticks,to re-affirm that I'm running on the right track and not to somewhere I don't want to go...*shudders* But being night time,the weather was cooling,and furthermore that is my peak running time. Cool. I finally got back to the main building,after enduring the ardous slopes,and was taken over by Miss Ng,then Miss Teoh,and finally Siew Min,who got the most sweat-drenched relay strap,poor gal :p All in all,great job everyone! We won the 1st place,with the fastest timing overall. *big hugs* Full-day,anyone? :)

What the hell la...

Okay,I know your comments are meant to be constructive,and that ultimately they will be for the greater good of myself...but sometimes you ought to take into consideration how one would feel. Sure,I may be one of the "safety nets" of the class,the one who's kinda lagging behind and who allows her work to deteriorate further by sleeping during lessons and running around instead of doing her tutorials. But that still doesn't fit whatever you have said to me! Feelings are very susceptible beings,especially to negative externalities from respected authorities...Fine,there's no point in complaining and whining so much now,especially if what you've said has happened,and what has happened cannot be undone,and thus there's no point in lamenting here,where you cannot even read. I will just do my best from now on to prove you wrong wrong wrong,and I give you my word-
I WILL NOT RETAIN.
