Thank God It's Friday

I made it through the week. Feels like the truckload of burden I've been carrying has been lifted from my shoulders. All I could remember doing was the constant rush of completing assignments after assignments, above it all were the 4 tests I had! It's crazy just how the homework list can lengthen so rapidly through the course of the week. Everyday I'd be thinking which subject would I dare to sacrifice such that the consequence faced would be the least.

By Wednesday, I came to realise how weak my mental strength was. I came home, sat down and realised that I had myself on the line for every single lesson on Thursday. I think I reached my limit then, and like an elastic band, recoiled back into my pathetic comfort zone. Never had to take this kind of escape route before, but as of yesterday, I finally did. I suppose I've got a lot to work on, in terms of courage, mental strength and stamina. Not sure how my future Wednesdays-Thursdays will turn out. Ending each Wednesday at 9pm and only to reach home at 10pm-ish, with a predictable pile of due/overdue assignments + tests the following morning isn't very ideal for me!!

Maybe I'll runaway again? But maybe I'll learn to endure and persevere on.

Another event I distinctly recollect is the morning mad rush to school. Okay not that it's something new since the past 2 years were somewhat similar, but this year it's slightly different. Out of 5 days I had to do 4 x 100m sprint from bus stop to school! Okay I admit it's thrilling, the relief I get after crossing through the school gate when I make it on time. Hahahah, but still risky uh! Thank God I was not late a single day this week though! I've still got 2 lifelines before getting detention heh. ALRIGHT NEW GOAL: Cannot be late > 3 times until June!!!!

Finally, even though it's the end of the school week, hate to say this but I am still stressed out. Big day for me tomorrow. Big day for the team. It's really unfortunate that the team is already so small, but now we are down by 1 main shooter and 1 main defender. I have no clue on how tough it will be tomorrow, especially since my defending partner, Shar, might not play. Then it's left with me and prolly a substitute. I'm scared I will not be able to work with whoever the sub is cuz I'm really used to working with Shar on court! Ugh and we must get into the top 3 otherwise this batch will be letting all our previous Seniors down and we can't go for Achievers' Night! Frigging stressful, I guess all netballers will understand how precious each player is to the team. & I'm still praying, that by some miracle, Wenhui's ankle will heal by God's grace. Otherwise, Joy will be needing a substitute shooter partner as well! All this said, I'm still hoping God will help us and let us emerge top 3!!!!!

Well it's Friday, it's girls night out for me. Hopefully I'll destress tonight and just relax and focus on tomorrow's matches. Love & Other Drugs. :)
