Blogging excessively today but:
Term 3 thus far has been
good. Incredibly good. I remember the beginning of term 2 when i was just going frantic trying to juggle full dress and pts and aas and exams and schoolwork. i remember thinking 'ugh why don't the teachers just give us extensions sports people get extensions for competition training for goodness sake!' innumerable times. i remember the joy after we won, but more than that it's the memory of the 10pm nights in school despite having undone pts at home, giving up entirely on homework knowing that you'd have to survive from 6am-10pm again the next day and you'd just die without sleep. term 2's been the hardest 3 months ever, fulfilling yes, but nonetheless completely exhausting. but term 3 has been having me caught in a constant state of euphoria, whether it's simply having time to take afternoon naps or coming home before 6 or having time to read harry potter and go to the library. it's the joy of actually having
time, of not rushing about everything the day before it's due, of actually handing up work on time, of finishing homework early- i know this sounds incredibly stupid, but i'm not sure i handed up more than 5 pieces of work on time in term 2. oops. and life's been incredibly good for me the past 2 weeks. received an incredibly affirming confirmation of me and something i really care about, and having time to actually hang around with people instead of rushing all over the place. it feels good, it really feels good. even though i'm sure things will get crazy soon enough, i doubt they'll ever get as unmanageable as term 2. not this year anyway. i think one of the most important things that OM has taught me is to treasure what i have- treasure the time, the little bits and pieces of free time borrowed or stolen from our hectic schedule that we can just do whatever we want, to relax, to unwind. treasure the people around you, it's so much easier to drift apart than we think. we already have so much, we just take it for granted and don't realise how precious it is until we just don't have it anymore. the most important thing term 2 has taught me, i think, is gratitude. <3
记忆的书格，坐着个纸盒；平凡的外壳是成长的目击者。
遗失与获得，意外和选择，被谁用生活藏起了
如今我掀开想取舍，才发现满得盖不合
