I'm going to miss the past few days. It was great fun--running in the mornings with juniors, having breakfast, fooling around until we went over to the BS for training. It's a good feeling when everyone's either running or sitting around watching. You get really tired afterward and you're all hot and perspiring but that's the even better part of it: you get fit while having fun. (: I feel fit now! Although my past three lunches have been rather, uh, unhealthy, so I guess it balances out, so I haven't gotten any fitter after all. D: Yesterday Si Min and I caught sight of the juniors on the track on our way to the library. They were playing 老鹰捉小鸡 and (as usual) yelling and laughing at the top of their voices. It was then that it occurred to me how three days alone as a team (everyone else was at camp) can bring us a little closer, even if by only a little. Watching them play with each other--Secondary 1s and 2s alike--made me smile and think about how even teenagers can be kids sometimes.
Then again, while it can't be denied that NYTT has definitely gotten a little more bonded this year (alright, a LOT more bonded!), there are still cliques and groups. Si Min and I have each other, but it just occurred to me that if one of us isn't there, the other has nowhere to go. The Secondary 1s and 2s are one big happy family; Mingzhen and her gang are fine together; but the two of us are alone. It's not like we don't get along with anyone else--we're fine with the C Div and with the other Secondary 3s and 4s. But we can't consider ourselves part of the group. It's either because we're older or because we just don't spend enough time with them. If Si Min doesn't come for training one day, what will happen to me? When I go over to HC next year, what will happen to her?
I've been slacking off for the past few days. There isn't much homework (it's camp week!) to begin with. I've started on Legend again! (: After a block that lasted almost months, I'm getting, uh, inspired again. I hope it turns out okay. I still have no idea how to final fight is going to turn out. I'm the makeitupaswegoalong kind of person (at least, when I'm writing), so I'll think about that when I come to that. (: I'm SO HAPPY I've gotten past L13. I was stuck on that for ages. Glad it's over.
Kekkaishi 251 is out. I don't believe it! So hard to understand what's happening now ><>
I'm not going to talk about Graces. Everyone's talking about Graces. Why should my experience at Graces be any different? Everyone looked great (well, 99% of us looked great), we all had fun, that's all there is to it. Next topic!
Wow. My life is actually kind of boring.
Time to find stuff to do, I guess. Some Scholars' Cup reading, Macbeth, probably R and R (LA SIA is SCREWED)...
When you hit Secondary 4, you don't feel stressed out anymore. You're totally immune to it.
Cheers! :D
