~The Road Less Taken~

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

today is the last really stressful day of term.

somewhat happy that aem's ended (it's been eating up my entire tuesday afternoon timeslot for 1 term already). no more major events or assignments to pass up, so that's good.

but somehow i don't feel as relieved as i should be.

like i know there are still things i've got to get through before the holidays are here - and even then there are so many things to do.

apcg. english biography. ss documentary. english bookclub. cip 2nd needs analysis. showcase portfolio. rl r&r. catching up with maths and bio work. house stuff (hopefully i can be involved in dramafeste). while still leaving time for personal activities.

it's going to be one of the busiest holidays yet.

oh well it really is true. there's never a dull moment.

a few days ago i was telling one of my friends on msn that i had this ability to recharge myself really quickly.

there were times in term 1 (when i had to juggle 4-5 commitments week in, week out) and in term 2 (where i had the commitments and an increased workload) where i thought i really needed to just take a break for a while.

i remember one instance in particular. being the psgm head, it was a battle to keep churning out session summaries and trying to get all the psls to be ready for the psgms. it wasn't easy, but i managed to get the basic job done (at the expense of sleep - i think i slept at around 1-2 almost every day in term 1).

during the orientation camp and the preparation leading up to it, i seemed to be ready for everything. mrs maas told me (and zong yi i think) that we should be named the most enthusiastic helpers for the orientation.

i think my attitude then towards being a psl is quite similar to being an apcg facilitator now. =)

but it's not easy to always keep the enthusiasm level high. but somehow i think i did a good job of maintaining it at an acceptable level, and i didn't really take many breaks. and after a while i was ready and good to go again.

i'm not so sure about this time though. the only thing i'm really looking forward to now is apcg (and perhaps dramafeste), but even that seems a long way off when i see the things i have to do between now and then.

but i've quoted brian mcknight before, and i still keep them close to my heart.

i'm gonna win.

I stopped to rest at 10:37 PM
