It feels like I haven't had a long weekend in such a long time, so I'm really glad that I get this Friday off. Now if only Monday was also another school free day. I guess long weekends just give me that one or two days of extra time to think and process what has happened to me the past few days. Long weekends are probably a really important part of my life, I just don't know that yet.
Anyhow, planning to actually do some productive things this weekend. Although that's what I always do, and then fail to go through with the plan. So there's probably a pretty big chance that I won't be doing anything this weekend (I'm kidding, I have homework).
The grade sevens from various elementary schools in the district will be visiting Alpha sometime this week, and I really wanted to be one of the "tour guides".
For some reason, I've always liked speaking in public and just leading people around, especially people who are new to the "organization". I've always liked being a leader (which is why I decided not to take leadership, in fear that they would probably disapprove my Kevin-brand leadership) and for reasons, I just don't want the grade eights next year to feel like how we did. Alone, scared, with no help. I want to be open to them. I want to make sure that all the grades that come before us every year will know us.
The one thing that Alpha lacks in is connection of the grades.
So I'll be attempting to find out who I should ask if I want to lead tours, and if I'm allowed to. Leading tours during the day is also a convenient way to skip part of school.
Playoffs
Knowing that our team actually has a chance at winning the banner actually kind of helps us, because now we'll be pressured to preform well and bring our A game (as our head coach says). I'm personally dreading the playoffs because I had a terrible practice today. I just felt tired throughout the two hours and I wanted to just drop the ball and leave. However, I'm pretty confident and optimistic that we can win this banner.
By the way, I'm talking about bantam boys volleyball.
I had the weirdest thing happen to me in the middle of science class. I was just sitting, minding my own business as Mr. Wong was reviewing something. All of the sudden a girl in my class speaks up with a question, and I find myself wanting to know everything about her, what her favourite colour was, what she liked to do in spare time. I noticed the subtle things, such as how she held her pen, how she fiddled with her fingers. I felt this intense burst of... "love" surprising and was taken aback by it.
However after a minute or so, I found nothing desirable about that girl.
Weird.
Thanks For 15,000 Views
So I recently hit 15,000 views (you can probably see in the top right). I'm not sure how many people actually read this peek into my life, but to those who do, I thank you. Thanks to all those page-refreshers, those daily-checkers, those sharers. Whether you started reading here or from the first word I wrote, it's all mattered.
I'm feeling pretty relaxed today and I'm looking forward to the next three days. I'm a 9. It's getting kind of late and I was tired, so I suppose I'll "hit the haystacks".
