Get Bo(u)lder was brought forward to today after H3 maths, and Darrell couldn't make it last minute, so in the end i still managed to go for it, even though i didn't have any practice on wednesday, making me the only crazy idiot there going in as a complete noob. at the very least i managed to complete the green trail, which is the easiest trail anyway. bouldering was definitely an interesting and fun experience, but it forces you to exert muscles in places that you normally wouldn't train, like the fingers and lower arms, leading to very weird side-effects (like not being able to clench your fist).
well, tomorrow's rock night :) looking forward to watching chin's band play (they have changed their name to Rubber Band out of sheer randomness), among others. should be an interesting experience. well, i guess i should also be looking forward to the interview skills talk, but it's still rock night first :)
Falling down hurts; it hurts a lot. But falling is not what will kill you. You can get back up after a fall, and when you do you will note how you fell and how not to fall again. The real danger stems from not getting up; from giving up and lying in the dust, because if you choose to lie on the ground nobody will be able to help you up. And when it comes to the final lap of the race, when everybody is busy running their own races, you will not have the energy to lift yourself up. When you give in to wallowing in self-hate, you miss the things around you that could potentially lift you back up. I've seen it happening a lot these past few days: friends who were so disappointed in their CT results that they completely gave up on trying to follow class lessons, which could very possibly help them pull their grades. Despondency is assured self-destruction; please do not fall into that trap.

A7X has released another song from Nightmare! :D this one's called Buried Alive:
when i first heard the intro i thought this was their customary slow calming song that they have in every album (Seize The Day, Dear God etc.), but then the chorus started and immediately the song changed. i love the part after the second chorus when the entire song suddenly changes to a very Metallica-esque guitar solo, and then to the heavy percussive sound with Matt finally screaming again \m/ suddenly there's hope again for awesome half clean half screamo songs like Chapter Four :D this is tentatively my favourite song from Nightmare.
