I remember looking at my blog 2 or 3 days ago and seeing oh there're 296 posts and now there're 304, did I really blog this much? And this is the 305th.
Spent the afternoon (after aspen) in the library today and it was such a wonderful thing. Haven't been there since... April I think. It feels awesome to be among rows and rows of books- they're an inexpressible comfort to me. It brings me to such amazing worlds so easily, I don't even know why I get absorbed in them so completely and easily- don't movies do that too? But I prefer books, maybe because they've been my constant companion since childhood. Left the library feeling incredibly happy and content :D Life is good when you're alone in a nice aircon environment with plenty of books surrounding you. All that's missing is a cup of coffee hahaha.
Was looking back at this term yet again and I realised even though now it seems so short, time passed incredibly incredibly slowly. Maybe the fact that it started with full dress and ended with world finals makes it more so. I mean- look at how far we've come since then. It's kind of crazy. And all those agonising working days when we've been working our heads off the whole day but seem to be making no progress. All that was incredibly crazy. But there were so many good things too- best thing ever was when we won SF. And after all that setup in Maryland, knowing that Tarbet won. And housepracs- few and far between, but still <3 I definitely don't want another term like this though.
I keep telling myself I need to improve my grades (yes I do argh) but it's not working out. To start off I need to get used to finishing all my homework. Seriously, this isn't the best thing OM has done to me. /:
With all the campaign periods and the CCA handovers and everything coming on in Term 3, I think it's very very beautiful and heartening to see people with passion wanting CCA/board positions so badly, not because of the
position and the honour it brings but because of how much they want to make a difference. I won't name names here, but it's so amazing and wonderful, and if you're one of those people (you know who you are) then jiayou <3 although we always say that we don't need a position to make a difference (which is very true) but the position lets you make more of a difference (it's true, although not exactly a good thing) and I think here in RG we're very very lucky that so many of our leaders are wonderful committed enthusiastic capable people and that makes all the difference.
Today when I was going to Aspen I saw this two MGS girls doing fundraising. And what struck me was that they were really enthusiastic about it, and were smiling very happily unlike so many RG girls that do street sales just for the CIP hours- it's great to know that people still care for society beyond this whole facade of superficiality. And they were talking and laughing with this old lady that had just donated to them and it was such a heartwarming scene because nowadays young people are perpetually being scolded for not caring/interacting with the older generation but they gmh.
Holidays are ending so soon I can't believe it. I don't fel like I've made good use of them.
Also I've just decided to go on a Facebook fast for a week because it's too distracting/pointless/time wasting and I need to see what my life will be like without it. So bye facebook!
(and I'm not off msn/tumblr/blogger because to me these are amazing things.)
