Burdens

Burdens, burdens, burdens.

Is this the path that I have chose? So many commitments, resulting in me having to skip several other activities.

Saturdays: 3-5pm GP tuition

It has already made me miss some outings, this will be causing me to miss 3 more activities and outings with my friends...
in addition, I would be unable to go for an induction camp for my science research

NRP Launch: 11 April

By some god damned luck, it coincides with my dental appointment. But due to the nature of this launch, I have to sadly postpone my dental... and all the way to June. This means my quarterly dental appointments will become a twice a year thing? This isn't good, especially when my gums have somehow started bleeding for god-knows-what reason. I guess it must be the bracers are cutting into my gums? I hope not, my mouth is important... seriously.

黄城 + NRP + SEE2: Towards the end of the year

Well, the busiest times for these 3 very major and important (to me) projects and events somehow fall onto each other's timings. This means my whole of November, December and January 2009 will be filled to the brim - even water tension is unable to prevent it from spilling out. I have never felt so busy before, and I am seriously thankful for the organizer that I have with me now.
I want to do well in all, they are all important to me. Not only as a way for me to proceed (think about this word), but also as a way to relieve my passion onto.

Somehow I keep thinking, are we students working too hard? We work as if we were adults. Sometimes our portfolios are even better than adults, maybe just lacking the notion of money.
And I think this tires out our generation, the pace is so rapid, several get left behind. We speak of a meritocratic society, which is just a place solely for those who can make it, not those who can't. We speak of equal opportunities and stuff, but with these rising standards - and even As are not enough - are there really equal opportunities?

Complain as much as I want, but the reality, although harsh, is that it is a competitive environment. I am a small fish in a big ocean, even though I lose proportionately in size initially, I shall make up for it in swim speed.

but nonetheless, the fun factor will still be there.
