Sudden realization

Illusions

I’m halfway through editing the video for the project. Currently it’s about 6 minutes long, which means 1 minute more to cut - I don’t know how because I’ve cut quite a bit already (imagine, from 8 minutes to 6).

Today’s actually a school holiday but then, I went to school. To do magazine work that is. It was fun, cropping out the backgrounds of the pictures; plus, we (3 students along with 2 teachers) were treated to breakfast/branch! And ice-cream too. I was sooooo full. Second breakfast for me and so, no lunch. The conference room was freezing cold and eating ice-cream was.. icy cold? Haha. It was just rather insane eating ice-cream in an air-conditioned room. Good thing was, it melted slowly.

One whole morning in school was exhausting, probably due to the lack of sleep. I, being erm, ignorant of my needed sleep, stayed up watching Grey’s Anatomy (it’s addictive people, seriously - I’ve finished around 20 out of 27 episodes in a week plus). So, I ended up retiring to bed only past 1 am. Bad bad choice of action. The night before, I think I slept that late too and I woke up at 11 am yesterday. Following that, I spent about 5 hours in and out of the terribly scorchingly hot sun which gave me a very nice red nose and sunburned face. It was Sport’s Day yesterday. It was funny going to a restaurant for lunch and seeing about 10 schoolmates, all in their sports house attire while I, was in my white school uniform.. which, the skirt has spots on it from the mud in the fields. Even after bleaching it, the spots are still there.. oh no. Right, I have yet to clean my shoes…   Anyways, the march past was really really .. the amount of sweat dripping away was mad and, of course disgusting to think of. I ran 4×100m relay and really glad with the 3rd. Somehow, I didn’t feel exhausted at all after running 100m. I guess the crazy 4×400m and 1500m made me feel so.
So after that, came home, showered etc and then it’s off to school. Sport’s Day dinner. The food was not bad; I was there till 10 along with a few other councillors. The councillors and some cadets stayed on way after all the teachers had left. (You don’t get such a chance - being in school at night with no teachers around ;p) It was fun.

Right, back to the point. In short - I should have slept earlier. Well, I slept this afternoon already. Tomorrow’s a school-day, a long long day. I realized this morning, that I’ve been going to school everyday since last Monday. I went to school on Friday for this video project (which I should get back to, soon) and yesterday for the dinner plus today. *shakes head* I didn’t get a holiday .. at all! But, I’ll get it soon, in a week’s time. I’ll be going back the whole holidays to KL which means I’ll be missing extra-classes. It’s half good, half not. Hmm, I really wonder, what am I going to do next year, when I’m out of school and have none of these extra activities - would college kill me off my free time?

By the way, it’s my closest and very very very gooood friend’s birthday in 2 days! I don’t know what to get her - okay I roughly have an idea but I won’t be going out very soon. I may give it to her after holidays. I want to make her something special as it’s probably (sadly) the last year I’ll be giving her a present or something like that since I’m leaving end of this year. Sigh~ Happy Advanced Birthday, Rita!
