another week's gone by already.
time does fly (but not always while you're having fun)..
ONE Week's finally over. hmm, i guess i can't call it a huge success but, it was a rather meaningful week, being in charge of book donations/sales. i really like the kind of stuff that salvation army garnered from the public donations, like wow? finding good books has never been so easy. currently 8 of them sit on my desk, waiting to be read. not that i have the luxury of time to spare, but i'm sure the day when i finish all 8 will come soon enough.
thursday's pe session was uber shag. warm-up 4 rounds, imagine that. it's a 1.6 essentially. well, at least i know that i'm keeping up 8-9min timing worth, so that's decent! 2.4's a pretty different story, but not much to worry about there. standing broad jump is the killer station for me argh...i need to pass it, badly. or i'll be spending 8 weeks in pre-NS training, which is really crappy. grr.
there was also this talk by a physics nobel prize winner (and we were "nominated" to go...guess why). heh the topic got changed last minute, from "what happens at absolute zero" to something on superfluids. well, i suppose the former's answer is pretty evident, looking at how FREEZING the pac was XD ok, bad joke. i didn't really enjoy the talk too much because there was too much intellectual activity going on and i couldn't follow.
i did like one thing he brought up during q&a though; that we must not be constrained by our parents' viewpoints when deciding on a job that we ourselves really want. food for thought.
sometimes, i really get the feeling that i'm crazy. you know nothing will come out of it, but you still heck and dive in anyway. to what end, really? no one knows, the point is just that you will continue to do so. i can't even say for sure whether this is something that i want to stop or not. everything is hazy and things feel like they're spinning out of my control. it might help if things were a little clearer, but we don't always get what we want.
ok, shouldn't be so gloomy. there's a nice event-filled sunday to look forward to. will definitely be blogging about that!
