yes, exams are finally over. and so's freshman year.no more school till august. *beams*
really exhausted from everything - the studying, the late nights, and still coughing in the midst of it all. but i'm sure i'll be good to go with lotsa rest in the next week or so.
in the long stretch ahead, i wanna do all the things i didn't get to do when school was going on, and picked up where my life was static. i can't wait.
anyway, i heard this piece of news earlier and it left me rather outraged. nationals are in full swing already for most sports. tennis is still in the round robin, or group, stages. so what i heard was that a certain junior college CUT FUNDING for its team when they still have games to go. this means that the particular team cannot train anymore because the school will not pay the coach, and this sucks because right now they need some guidance. the saving grace is that they're very united. by the way, the school didn't inform the coach of this, he only heard it later from his players.
seriously, like what the fuck?
there are people out there passionate about their sport and want to do well for themselves, their team or the school. there are people who are committed and train hard every week for a few times, and being able to play that sport makes them happy. apparently, certain schools do not appear to want to nurture their students or help them develop their potential as they are supposed to. these are students playing for their school and instead of supporting and motivating them to do well they bring them down.
so these kids will have no trophies to speak of, but only the happy memories they had working together as a team tainted by what recently happened.
*claps*
i never knew people could be capable of doing such things, but this just shows how unreasonable and unfeeling some of those in authority can be, with negligible EQ to boot.
it sure is fucked up out there.
right, okay, end of my long gripe over another prime example of how unfair life is. it's the hols dammit.
ya know, i noticed how it was sunny this afternoon (which is not an unusual occurence but in light of the recent buckets of rain that seem to come down without fail every day, it is) and how i felt like smiling and chatting away incessantly again.
i noticed how i paid attention to detail and smiled and how my mind, which has been a chaotic, saturated mess, cleared and settled into a state of calm.
and then i thought, well now, i'm finally out of the hole.
