What I'm having right now is something that I had just a few months ago, i.e. last year. Somewhere in Term 3. Where everything just come looking for me and I have no time for myself. Maybe if I had high metabolism rate like Eugene, I could have had a much easier time. The thing is, I get tired easily. And when I get tired, I will have no mood to work. Sometimes I just push on, but really, I know the limit, I will fall sick for sure if I go over the limit. Example? SBF.
Well, after SBF, realised that missing lessons in Year 3 or should I say, Year 3 onwards is really not fun. So far I've just been able to catch up with all my work, I just need more brushing up on Math and study more into details for the other subject lectures.
But studies for now, put that aside and I shall blog about the stuff I have other than studies. I'm not complaining down here but my brain is kind of getting overloaded. I just can't, totally put something aside, even if I'm only indirectly involved/in-charged in it. Let me draw an example, well, for the Charity Concert. It's still on my mind right now, thinking when to have the concert and all those stuff when it's already, not my business. Well I still have to chase after Joanne and remind her of deadlines but look, it's no longer under me for planning. I just have to look at what she has in mind and refine the plan. I'm over concerned in things. I need to change that to make my own life easier.
Next, MA. Music Week idea throwing so far had been VERY interesting I say. x) I shan't reveal any ideas now in case it is not granted or simply, just not to spoil the fun =P And see, I'm still thinking of it, although it's kind of, not my direct business yet though I'm contributing ideas.
Council. Well council had been working pretty well. Something tells me that I'm going to enjoy working in the council, or at least, for the most parts of it. It is after you get a whole bunch of unenthu people or people who simply don't help/participate that you really appreciate active members under you. Not pin-pointing here but it that was just a case from last year, this year, it has improved. Hope my life is easier this year. SLI stuff had been going pretty well, shall just check up the puzzle prices and stuff =)
cheMagic. Well. Chemistry Demo/Show at NUS on 7th March. What. The. Hell. Yes it is fun, yes it is good experience, yes I like it because it sounds pro BUT hey, 7th March O.O that means alot of things...are going together at the same time again. And that always means, I need to do early mugging for common tests. =.=
Gah.
Those are just the random studies stuff and some non acad school stuff. Looking some non acad personal stuff, well, it came at the wrong time. Totally wrong. Not when I need to concentrate, focus and go full speed ahead. Well hey I can just dao that right but gah =.=
Anyway.
Mrs Chui's visiting tmr had been postponed, will not be going for Josephine's BBQ Party since I will need that time slot for council proposal compilation. And also, on Sunday (which I just realised) is 1st Feb and I will need to go for the Hostel Orientation.
And lastly, the CCA Welcome Party.
Today's welcome party, although not exactly perfect, was not bad =) With 8 Extra Large 14" Pizzas from Canadian Pizza and juices to go with. Got the students' instruments settled as well and at the last 1.5hour, each section got started with their trainings. Great!
Well...is the President again. Shall see how it goes.
Hmmm. Shall talk about one last thing..just some personal thoughts.
I really really hope that I'm staying in the hostel now. No it's not that reason you're thinking of now. It's that. I really think, getting from School to Tampines and back the next morning is really tedious. Even if I had my dad fetching and sending, it's still really, annoying to spend 10-15 minutes waiting for Dad to arrive and that time, I can happily use it to rest on the bed or shower if I stay in the hostel since I'm not really the kind of who can work immediately after a day of lessons when I'm super tired. Also, because of the amount of work, I usually stay up until 11.30 or later. If I stayed in Hostel, I can have happily wake up 7.15am in the morning, skipping breakfast because I can eat later on during recess. Yes you might be complaining that I'm so unappreciative of what my Dad does and of him sending/fetching. No I appreciate that, it just that, I think I could be better off in the hostel.
More reasons? Well look, at home, you've got all stuff to attend to or rather, all the distractions. Like your parents nagging at you for not studying because they didn't know that you studied in school, some random TV show that just get you switching off your work mode, the nice big sofa in the living room to rest on when you just get back, and other stuff. (Okay maybe those are just me being someone lazy and someone who naturally needs a lot of rest). If I were in hostel, I can happily isolate myself for the time when I need to get down to serious work and go around slacking with friends from next door in the hostel or something when I can relax. Most importantly, as I mentioned, I get to concentrate. It's just shuffling between, school, hostel, school and back. And they are both so near.
Well...that's the good stuff I see in staying in hostel, since I haven't stay there before, I shan't continue talking about it here before some hostel person come smacking me for not appreciating my luck to be able to stay at home.
OH AND, I'm going to dedicate my Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 12.30 - 5pm for school work ONLY. (Exceptions are mass/exco meetings from SL Boards) That will mean, I will do the same as what I did to kope with my work back in Year 2 when I was busy. That worked out well. =P
