Felt like a seven day week this week, with SDYC and all that. Going through SDYC, I didn't learn about saving the environment and all that crap. Instead I learnt something more valuable about myself.
I find it very hard to focus on a task or keep commitments that has nothing interesting for me.
SDYC was a shining example. When I signed up, I expected to have an awesome dynamic team of friends who I could have fun with while executing everything. Instead, I didn't really know my team all that well, and till today I till don't know some of their names. Granted, it was probably my fault for missing all those planning sessions and the pre convention camp. Although I had good reasons for doing so i.e New York and all that. But I'll be lying to myself if I said I wasn't the problem. If 403 or my close friends were directly involved, I wouldn't miss a session and I'd probably perform 120%. Instead, I woke up at 10am on a Saturday, and took me until 4pm to realise I forgot the SDYC GM today and no one called me.
So on SDYC itself, I busied myself with the unspoken important tasks, like making sure the food was here, constructing solar panels etc. On day three, I eschewed my duties, or lack thereof, to slack with KT, Danielle and Belinda by note passing. Later on the D&D, I hung out with the people not even in SDYC more than the people who were, going all the way to skipping out on the cleaning up later to hang out with more awesome people.
So from here, I realised that I don't mind very boring or unimportant jobs, as long as I do it with cool people that I like.
Speaking of D&D. It was pretty cool. Wingmaning KT for the first time that night. SOTA girls are super weird lol. And KT didn't seem to want to talk that much to the girl, stage fright? Ah well, suited up, danced a lot, and drank soft drinks to a crappy DJ. SDYC ftw. I'm just glad Dance CCA, Belinda, Jing Min and Bernard came. Otherwise that would have been a crappy D&D.
Anyway, I just read through all my posts on this blog to get a feel of myself, to write college app essays later. College app essays. Sigh. The biggest hurdle currently. I'm a pretty good writer. But when it comes to selling myself, I'm pretty stumped. I'm not introspective at all, and as I read through my blog, its mostly about observations in everyday life, dissected and reduced to bareness for analysis. Thus, I have to observe myself observing in order to come up with something interesting for the College councilors. I've been asking people around me to highlight my most obvious traits, but I need to find some sort of context to frame them in. Bottom line, college app essays are hard. I need a muse.
On the lighter side of things, I baked today! Went to Gerlynn's house after sports day with JM, Bern, Ming Yan and Gerlynn. We helped to bake the cupcakes that will be given out on Teacher's day celebrations tmr! Gerlynn supervised as JM and I helped to make the batter, put it in cups and put it into the oven. Bern and Ming Yan slept like pigs on the sofa XD We watched a really weird and M18 movie that Gerlynn bought o.O but starring Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel. Also helped with the icing on the top of the cupcakes :D
Don't eat breakfast tmr! :D
