Settling in.
2nd week of school is ending…(1st proper week cuz last week was just orientation) and im finally sorta settling down. as in getting used to this place. Tho i do still get lost around the school and dont know which buses to take to go anywhere.
Decided to volunteer for class rep (ketua kelas). i think i was outta my mind. its one more thing that i can whine about.. but i wont whine so much cus then ill just get the you-asked-for-it reply. we shall see how things go. *i can hear sighs of "eve’s going nuts again… wait… wasnt she always nuts?".*
as for CCAs… after the CCA carnival where the clubs were doing their recruiting, i decided against band and badminton. yes, i know, its such a waste after being so loyal to them for like 5 and 12 years respectively, but… i do have my reasons.
the long and short of it is :- i wont be able to improve my skills much in either band or badminton. simply cuz their standard (even tho is higher than mine), isn’t high enough to make it seem like enuff of a challenge to keep me occupied for the next 1.5 years. i do *not* want to be stagnant for yet another 1.5 years. trust me, its not fun.
in the end, opted for a MASTECH-like club, called Project Eureka (the other draw of this club is… its only once a week. which is good. cuz…. im this suicidal triple-science student, so better not take on too much)
but… i might…. have badminton as a sorta "unofficial cca" as in a drop in just to play with the ppl there (and maybe - very very slim chance since im not a member - represent school) .. without commiting to their 3x a week training schedule. no way im spending that much time on badminton….

outside school……
sailing … on a crappy boat, in the rain, and there wasnt any wind. i got seasick on land (when i got back), and throw in a sunburn FOC. ’nuff said.

get what you mean.. about the band thing.. but i think it’s a good chance to put your skills to use, who know’s it might be your last time playing for a band with you saxophone. with great powers comes great responsibilities ta know. i sure wish i could play too, but i can’t.. so appreciate it (: what boat are you talking about anyway? haha.. you live on a boat?
